COVID-19 brought many changes to the world of education. It took a toll on schools, staff, students, parents and many others. The goal of this study was to discover what stressors lessen a school counselor's self-efficacy as measured through a demographic survey and semi-structured in-depth interviews using a sample of five counselors from different states. School counselor stressors have the ability to lead to lower self-efficacy, which can then lead to burnout and a lack of school counselor retention. This study fills a gap in the literature by examining whether any post-COVID-19 stressors impact the self-efficacy of a school counselor in the present day. Qualitative research, using a narrative inquiry, was used to gain insight into what school counselors may be feeling and thinking about their role in the job. This research investigates the problems or issues that school counselors face on a day-to-day basis. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
