Counseling

"During our sessions, Ms. Vicital was always yawning & sleepy to the point of struggling to keep her eyes open. Once, she fell completely asleep. Ms. Vicital was also distracted by her very young children who were always present--crying, whining or begging for attention. Ms. Vicital was consistently disheveled, ate during one session & sometimes read & answered her emails while I was attempting to speak. She was a poor listener, habitually late & offered no CBT or DBT as I requested."

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
