Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Reassuring the client that his/her goals will be met during the first session may not be feasible or ethical, as it requires a thorough understanding of the client's issues, which might not be fully achievable in the initial meeting. The primary goals are to understand the client's expectations, establish rapport, and begin to understand the client's problem.
