reached such as (1) understanding the problem of the client, to realize the need more quickly, to
create a goal, (2) the problem solving process in mathematics is similar to the process of solving
the problem of the counselee (3) when approaching the problems of the client, it is useful in
thinking fast and practical, (4) mathematical reasoning contributes to the counselor in finding a
realistic and rational solution to the client's problems, (5) Mathematical reasoning makes it clear
that problems can have different solutions. Thus, it directs the individual to behave as solution
