Abstract
Many English as an additional language (EAL) students in US counseling programs face foreign language anxiety (FLA), affecting their academic and social success.

Themes include social support, mindset shifts, behavioral strategies, faculty recommendations, fostering inclusion, and the need for more institutional support, offering valuable insights for counseling programs to better support EAL students' academic and social outcomes.
