Rapport is found to correlate with therapist clinical experience. Rapport is highest when therapists use few encouraging statements (e.g., uh huh, hmm, etc.) and many empathetic responses. Rapport is associated with counselor verbosity and with counselors who verbally engage clients. Restating the clients words, with attention to feelings, increases rapport. And highest rapport exists when minimal talk is about the counselors own interpretations. All this, of course, is possible with Counseling. Take help from internet counseling.
