A clinical counselor is a mental health professional who counsels individuals and groups regarding many issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. As a clinical counselor, your duties include holding one-on-one or group therapy sessions with patients, listening to their problems and feelings, diagnosing disorders, and recommending treatment or recovery plans that may help relieve symptoms and address any underlying issues. You may work in conjunction with other medical professionals and consult with family members about what they can do to help their loved ones.
