"Had our first session with susan on Friday. The first 10 mins were her spent telling us how her “zoom may go out” and now terrible betterhelps’s technology is. After that, it was an entire session of her interrupting us and speaking down to us. Thankfully I was matched with another therapist and had a much better experience today. If matched with Susan, i would probably look for someone else. "

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.
