Mental and behavioral counselors are licensed professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues in clinical, school, or community settings. They rely on active listening and evidence-based counseling techniques to build treatment plans, and must be ready to apply crisis intervention skills when clients are in acute distress. Most maintain client records through electronic health records systems to ensure continuity of care and compliance with clinical documentation standards.
