b. Dismiss himself or herself as a potential counselor for the client

Explanation:

A counselor meets with a client who is wearing the traditional garb associated with a particular religious group. The counselor holds a negative view of this group's beliefs in certain matters. The counselor must, as a first step dismiss himself or herself as a potential counselor for the client

The best approach will be for the counselor to dismiss his or herself as a potential counselor of the client because since there is already a bias, the counselor will not be objective in carrying out his or her professional responsibility towards the client. Biases are as a result of subjection, personal opinions which are not professional.
