Which of the following behavior change strategies is often used in conjunction with rewards and is a document that details an agreement between a counselor and a client to implement a particular goal?

A) Stimulus control
B) Countering
C) Rewards
D) Contracting
E) Goal setting

Contracting is a behavior change strategy that often involves the use of rewards, and is a written agreement between a counselor and a client to implement a specific goal. Stimulus control involves changing the environment or stimuli to increase or decrease a target behavior. Countering involves replacing an unhealthy behavior with a healthy one. Rewards are a form of positive reinforcement to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior occurring. Goal setting involves setting specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound objectives to work towards a desired behavior change. While all of these strategies can be used in behavior change interventions, contracting specifically involves a written agreement between a counselor and a client to work towards a specific goal, making it the best choice for this question.
