Licensed Professional Counseling

3/7/2016

 
Professional counseling is a mental health field that it focuses on helping individuals, couples and families with a variety of problems, and focuses solely on counseling. One of the main functions of a professional counselor is to work with client's to help identify goals and potential solutions to problems causing emotional turmoil.

Professional counselors work to improve communication and coping skills, increase self-esteem and promote behavior change and the mental health of their clients, according to the American Counseling Association.

What are the differences between a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)? 

This is a distinction based on schooling. An LCPC is a person who received a Master's degree in psychology, whereby an LCSW is a person who received a Masters degree in social work.
