¶ … graduate students in counseling programs to learn theories? Graduate students in counseling programs are required to learn counseling theories because of their significance in the profession. It's important for graduate students in such programs to learn counseling theories for a variety of reasons.

Multicultural counseling recognizes the fact that every culture has a different outlook on life and values (Short, 2016). This kind of approach stems away from the typical white middle- class culture and comes up with goals and treatment plans based on the client's own ethnicity and culture. Counselors using the multicultural approach also try to help the clients see how their problems and difficulties maybe associated with societal issues and differences such as race, ethnicity, and gender.
