Finding a Counselor
To find a counselor, individuals are advised to conduct their due diligence by researching online, utilizing social media to view therapist bios and videos, and narrowing down their options by attending sessions or purchasing single counseling sessions. They are encouraged to focus on therapists' specializations and credentials, such as master's degrees (MA, MS), licensing (LPC), psychologists (PhD), and psychiatrists (MD) for optimal treatment outcomes.
