Abstract: This study aimed to identify the nature of counseling communication competencies among educational counselors in Jordanian schools and the extent to which these competencies are affected by gender and work organization variables. The study sample consisted of 115 male and female counselors in Jordanian schools. This study relied on the descriptive analytical approach. The counseling communication competencies scale which was prepared by the researcher himself was also applied to the study sample. The results of the study indicated the absence of a statistically significant relationship between the components of counseling communication competencies, especially between knowledge of counseling competency and training in counseling competency. There was also a statistically significant relationship between knowledge of counseling competency and the ability to practice counseling competency as well as between training in counseling competency and the actual practice of counseling competency and the ability to practice counseling competency. In addition, the results indicated the absence of statistically significant differences between the components of counseling communication competencies among educational counselors in Jordanian schools attributable to gender and work organization variables. The researcher recommends the necessity of qualifying and developing counseling communication competencies among educational counselors in Jordanian schools based on the results of the study.
