Sumari:The Anthropocene presents significant challenges for planning the future of work and for the practices that assist in this process (e.g., career guidance and counseling - CGC). Through semi-structured interviews with ten career counselors in Brazil, we aimed to systematize the main challenges generated in the Anthropocene by technological and digital transformations (TDT) and to understand the limits and possibilities of synchronous online career counseling (SOCC) with emerging adults (EAs) based on a narrative approach. We utilized Consensual Qualitative Research (CCR) as a data analysis method. Three main themes and derived categories were constructed: (1) scope of professional action, (2) counselor-client relationship- working alliance, and (3) counselor competencies. We conclude that understanding this new space-time logic of subjective and relational construction is a task to be deepened, making SOCC a strategy for confronting and emancipating the prevailing TDT logic. However, it is still an ongoing project as one of the main agenda for future studies in SOCC.
