There are as many reasons as there are seekers of counseling. Your reason and expectations are unique, just as you are different from other people. The nature of the concerns can be common – health matters, work-or school-related challenges, relationship issues, etc. – but the specifics and complications are dissimilar between different persons. This is the truth, whether it is face-to-face (F2F) therapy or teletherapy.

To think that it is reserved for the vulnerable and the troubled cannot be further from the truth. Even successful people are integrating counseling in their lives. As it is revolutionized in the formats of telemental health or online counseling, it became convenient, flexible and accessible These make it easily available for the busy people of this generation.

The Counseling Objectives

“Counseling psychology… focuses on how people function both personally and in their relationships at all ages,” says the American Psychological Association (APA). It can tackle the emotional facets of the different phases of your life or your loved ones. This is focused on these phases because these are the usual times when a person can be faced with challenges, individually or as a family, group, faction, or work organization.

Counseling specifically hopes to help you improve your overall sense of health, easing your pain and resolving your predicaments. It can assist you in the evaluation of your symptoms, as well as in the acceptance of your diagnosis and appreciation of your therapy. You may also want it in your life if you are making a transition, or when you have difficulty accepting a diagnosis of a terminal or debilitating medical condition.
