    🎉 Connect with the client during intake. 2. Have the client complete the paperwork beforehand. 3. Ask the client what is the most important for her/him/them for their goals. Intake does not have to be completed immediately. It can be done during the next few sessions. 4. Use timely questions depending on the situation. Ask, "What is it like for you being here?". You can also ask What is most pressing for you at this time? Ask for feedback from the client. What they might change and what they need.
