Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Competence is a fence, not a suggestion. Refer the specialty psychotherapy, keep coordinating the VR lane you are trained to own.

Ethical practice requires working within competence and referring when client needs exceed training. A VR counselor may continue case coordination for vocational goals while referring complex personality-disorder psychotherapy to an appropriately qualified clinician. Attempting specialty treatment without competence risks harm and ethical violation.
