Ms. Stacy Kirkham practices counseling in Metropolis, IL.

"This lady talks the whole time about herself and her struggles. I understand recovering addicts are good at helping people like me, I've been in recovery for not long but this lady hardly let me get a word in and talked about her own addictions and issue. She didn't listen to my side and argued wit me about my medication I use and how it is helpful to me. I need a real counselor. Not this. "

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.
