The psychotherapists competence formation and improvement becomes especially relevant in the context of social stigmatization destruction and under the pressure of the expanding demand for psychotherapeutic assistance. One of the best way to develop this competence is to master helping skills including psychotherapeutic self-disclosure which remains one of the most controversial helping skills. Our study examines the using self-disclosure specifics as an intentional act, since the professional psychotherapist speech always contains intentions that contribute to the client's goals and needs implementation. For the first time, we analyzed the psychotherapist's self-disclosure intentions. We used the psycholinguistic method of intent analysis. It was based on the three psychotherapeutic approaches founders sessions: client-centered psychotherapy, gestalt therapy, and rational-emotional behavioral therapy. We've identified specific intentions of self-disclosure, we've compiled the psychotherapist's self-disclosure intentions dictionary. Also we've classified the intentional orientation of psychotherapeutic self-disclosure objects, such as: "Client", "Client's situation", "Therapist". Finally, we've done an intent self-disclosure through speech analysis of founders. We found that it differs primarily based on their views of the psychotherapist role in the contact with the client.
