Counseling is a professional practice in which trained counselors or therapists help individuals, couples, or groups address emotional, psychological, behavioral, or relational challenges through structured conversation and therapeutic techniques. Counselors work in settings like schools, mental health clinics, hospitals, and private practice, often specializing in areas such as marriage and family therapy, addiction, grief, or career counseling. The goal is typically to help clients develop coping strategies, gain insight, and improve overall well-being.
