Is “counseling” different from “therapy” or “psychotherapy”?
Generally, “counseling” covers the wider range of services we provide, so we call our walk-in clinic a “counseling clinic.” For example, some students come for career counseling and don’t expect or wish to talk about other problems or personal difficulties. We respect that. But some students come knowing that they want therapy for some issue—perhaps depression or anxiety. Such ongoing counseling is generally called psychotherapy or just therapy.
