He needs a parental pep-talk about getting a job. His Job now is to get a job. that means 4-8 hours a day looking for and applying for jobs. 100% of people who do not apply for jobs do not get them. He needs 99 nos for each 1 yes. If he gets depressed over the "no" or that a job doesn't sound good - then that's his problem.

Whether he works in a supermarket (which can be fun) or a Home Depot (also can be fun) or something more intellectual - he has to relalize that getting out in the world and being with people is a huge "pump" to his own psyche. If he reads a want-ad and thinks "I wouldn't like that" - there is a problem in his expectations. So, work with him and the counselor in terms of managing his own fears and expectaions.
