• A. Coaching
• B. Modeling
• C. Feedback
• D. Multimodal therapy

Answer: (C)

Feedback is the practice of giving clients information about their behavior and progress toward change. The two parts described—encouragement and praise for attempting the change, and specific suggestions for making the change work better—are the standard elements of feedback. Encouragement reinforces effort, boosts motivation, and builds self-efficacy, while concrete, actionable suggestions guide future performance and clarify how to adjust. This combination helps clients understand what they’re doing well and what to adjust to improve outcomes. Coaching focuses on guiding performance more broadly and isn’t defined here by this two-part verbal feedback; modeling is about showing how to perform the behavior, not commenting on performance; multimodal therapy is a broader treatment approach rather than a specific feedback process. For example, after a client tries a new strategy, you might say, “Great job trying that today; next time, try pausing and taking a 5-second breath before responding, and note what helped you feel calmer.”
