Behavioral changes in students occur due to life experiences and growth in academic, career, personal or social aspects, and this happens constantly. As a counselor, some of the major contributing factors to this change that I have observed are; boredom; people change to find new life experiences because they are tired of the same thing. Some changes occur from enough sufferings. The pain caused and endured forces an individual to change as an adaptive way of their survival. Exposure also causes behavioral change, where the student has learned and acquired a lot as compared to the initial state one was.
I focus on the developmental counseling program where I look at identifying my students’ psychology and behavioral patterns for better results, by use of cognitive behavioral theory or therapy. This theory involves talking with the student, with the aim of helping one change how they think of a situation to manage the problem at hand. The therapy focuses much on how people think, their emotional tendency as well as how they act and likely to influence their life experience in a given environment (McLeod, 2015).

Students are not able to explain the psychological changes that occur after the therapy, but their acceptance of situations, behavior change to positive emotional states and new beginnings ascertain the success of the therapy sessions. For instance, students can work out their interpersonal conflicts through playing yoga after a therapy session.
In conclusion, identifying with my students’ thoughts has enabled me to have a better discussion about what the one is undergoing. Expressing my thoughts as well has created openness and motivated the student to open up as well; therefore creating an achievable proactive data to ensure students, teachers and the school succeeds.
