Counseling, sometimes called “talk therapy,” is a conversation or series of conversations between a counselor and client. Counseling usually focuses on a specific problem and taking the steps to address or solve it. Problems are discussed in the present-tense, without too much attention on the role of past experiences. Counselors guide clients to discover their own answers and support them through the actions they choose to take. Some people participate in counseling off and on for several years.
