Licensed counselors are professionals who have completed specific education and training requirements in mental health. They hold a license issued by a state or national board, which allows them to provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and groups. Their work often involves helping clients cope with emotional, psychological, and social challenges. These counselors use various therapeutic techniques to support their clients, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and talk therapy. They may specialize in areas such as marriage and family therapy, substance abuse, or career counseling. Licensed counselors play a crucial role in promoting mental well-being and helping people navigate life's difficulties.
