It is crucial for the worker to not only be friendly and open to the client in order to establish a level of trust, but also to have excellent listening and questioning skills in order to get an idea of what the true problem or problems are. Skills necessary to implement on the part of the social worker include eye contact, empathy and empathetic responses, open ended question, focusing on the client’s thoughts and feelings, active listening to ensure the client is heard, and note taking for assessment purposes.
