This is the third of a three-part series on client counseling for lawyers with the Integrative Client-Centered Model (ICCM), on April 3, 2026. Each part is two hours and offers two CLE credits. It’s helpful to take the sessions in order but not necessary as this series will be repeated next quarter. In each part of this series, we will touch on all 5 sections of the ICCM framework, with a focus on certain sections and components.
The ICCM provides a full suite of counseling skills. It is a framework and component model designed to incorporate and organize your existing skills, and help you organize new skills you acquire.
The ICCM framework:
The human element
Relationship building skills
Case and narrative building skills
Plan building and execution
Reflecting, regrouping and re-executing
CLE session topics
In Part III we’ll focus on the ICCM’s relational approach not only to clients but to others involved in the case to optimize case outcomes.
For the human element, we’ll look at a concept to help you think about how to build client strength, so they have the stamina to stay in the case and potentially experience personal growth from the process. The relationship component will consider your own personal safety, and also offer a method to enhance case plan execution. In the case and narrative building segment we’ll cover a number of topics to help clients stay on track with the case plan, and to help them provide you with the information you need to succeed in the case. In the reflecting component, we’ll look at how to fold in the human element, and at a unique ICCM concept, equipoise. In the closing component on a legal aspect, we’ll consider whether or not lawyers can be a healer.
