Initially, a more direction based leadership style may be needed in order to set ground rules, explain activities and establishing group dynamics. As sessions progress a more hands off style may be needed for group discussion and interaction. 
By adapting the level of direction and control the counselor has during a session based on mood and experience allows the group members a sense of control, autonomy and responsibility ultimately helping them develop new skills and communication strategies.
