Sixteen counselor educators and counselors‐in‐training participated in a content analysis study that investigated supervisors' nonverbal behaviors in the supervision process. The investigation displays the high‐to‐low frequency of 21 identified nonverbal behaviors of supervisors and indicates a statistically significant association and consistency among the supervisors' nonverbal behaviors. It implies the applicability of these behaviors to counselor supervision and training, provides a methodological approach for the further investigation of nonverbal behavior in actual supervision and counseling situations, and suggests that counselor educators should not overlook these variables in systematic research or their influence in the supervision process with novice counselors.
