This article presents the results of a Delphi study conducted to generate expert consensus about the best techniques for working with clients in the coming-out process. The initial expert interview phase (N = 19) generated a list of suggestions, including two therapist prerequisites, 11 suggestions for creating a welcoming environment, 15 areas of assessment, seven areas of psychoeducation, and 46 other specific techniques. During a second phase, the perceived helpfulness of these suggestions was rated by experts. The most highly rated techniques generally focused on guiding clients towards making their own coming-out decisions (e.g., "Allow the client to make his or her own decisions about how out to be, and to whom"), expressing a gay-positive attitude (e.g., "Discuss sexual minority identity as normal"), and helping clients prepare for coming-out disclosures ("Help the client to create a safety plan to address the possible negative outcomes of disclosure").
