Henry had a particularly challenging session with his new client, Mia. After the session, he reaches out to his BCBA to request guidance. He sends her a secure message on their HIPAA-compliant communication platform. Choose the most appropriate way for Henry to communicate these concerns.

Mia’s behaviors are escalating and I feel out of control. She clearly doesn’t like me and I don’t know how to remedy this. Are you able to overlap my next sessions to provide more guidance?

Mia engaged in 27 aggressions and 12 SIBs today, which was significantly higher than I observed during training. I followed the BIP, but I am unsure whether I’m doing things correctly. Could you overlap my next session to provide guidance?

Mia had an awful session. I have no idea what to do moving forward.
