This article provides an overview of mixed methods research designs in counseling psychology, which involves the collection, analysis, and integration of both quantitative and qualitative data. The authors define mixed methods research, discuss its origins and philosophical basis, outline the steps and procedures used in these designs, and identify six different types of mixed methods research designs. They illustrate these designs using studies published in the counseling literature and offer recommendations for designing, implementing, and reporting mixed methods studies. The article highlights the importance of clear purpose statements, research questions, and rationales for using mixed methods, as well as the distribution of data collection priorities and data analysis procedures. Despite the growing popularity of mixed methods research, there is a lack of standardized resources and guidelines, and the article aims to address this gap by providing practical insights and recommendations for researchers and educators in counseling psychology.This article provides an overview of mixed methods research designs in counseling psychology, which involves the collection, analysis, and integration of both quantitative and qualitative data.
