  • Description: <jats:p> The purpose of this article is to introduce a model of adult heterosexual identity that may be useful in conceptualizing heterosexual therapists’ barriers to and facilitators of effective practice with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LBG) clients. This model incorporates concepts from theories of identity development, social identity, and attitude formation. The article includes counseling applications of the model’s components and ends with presentation of case examples and implications for research and training. </jats:p>
