AbstractDespite rapidly increasing presence of international students seeking career guidance and opportunities in the United States, existing counseling literature offers limited perspectives on how counselors can support this community using strengths‐based and culturally responsive approaches. Addressing this long‐standing gap, we offer this conceptual scholarship discussing career mapping as a dialogical and critical‐constructivist strategy for career counselors to help international students understand their life story, strengths, and barriers in the context of career development, and plan their actions accordingly. Implications for practice are also offered.
