A counselor helps individuals deal with personal, social, or psychological challenges by providing guidance, support, and strategies for coping.

If you experience persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, or difficulty coping with life events, seeing a mental health professional can be very helpful.

Common therapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Family or Couples Therapy.

Therapy duration varies—some people attend only a few sessions, while others may engage for months or even years depending on their needs.
