When someone works one-on-one with a counselor, the counselor will help them to uncover the source of stress, pain, resentment, frustration, etc. in their life. Often, they help clients determine goals and set into motion a plan to create and sustain positive change. As the relationship between the counselor and the client deepens, core issues will come into focus. It is not uncommon for a client to enter counseling with one goal in mind only to find that something different becomes the focal point of their work. Many times, counseling is a week-by-week, dynamic experience which means the content of the sessions may continually adjust and adapt to whatever life situations arise. Solutions and treatment plans are adjusted to coincide with the changes in the client’s life.
Counselors try to help clients cope with and resolve their problems so they will ultimately no longer need counseling. In order to reach this goal, both client and counselor must work together to uncover the root of the issues and generate realistic solutions that can be put into practice in the client’s life.
Counselors also work with couples and families to help them understand and solve relationship issues or family-related problems.
