Answer:the client automatically waives his or her privacy rights and the counselor can reveal private information related to providing counseling services to the client

Explanation:The counselor is now a defendant and the client is the plaintiff hence the counselor now needs to defend her or his position and due to this fact s(he) can no longer stick to the client information confidentiality because the counselor will have to bring forward evidence that may include what they dealt with the clients in their private sessions.
