Personal Theory Paper

I choose cognitive behavioral theory for this paper topic.

A. Over the course of the semester, we will examine different approaches to counseling. At this point, you should be developing your personal style, point of view, and approach to counseling. These will help determine the theoretical approach that best fits your counseling style and needs. For this assignment, you will choose one or two theories that best fit your theoretical orientation to counseling. (This approach may evolve or change over time). The paper will summarize the basic tenets of the theory and delineate why this theory fits you. In essence, you will write a concise paper that integrates the course content with your views, values, worldview, belief systems, and work with diverse populations. How does your chosen theory align with your personal views and beliefs?
The paper is to be between 3 and 5 pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and include a minimum of 5 scholarly references. (Please do not exceed 5 pages.) Format the paper according to APA style (7th edition), including the reference page. Your papers must meet graduate-level standards for quality of writing, including grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and appropriate use of APA style. To maintain consistency, all papers must be in Times New Roman, 12-point font with one-inch margins. Failure to adhere to these standards will affect your overall grade. Your paper will be submitted to Turnitin. A plagiarism score of 20% or above will result in the least possible grade for the assignment. The final paper will be worth 200 points.
The major headings for your paper should include the following:
Introduction (your choice of theory)
