Personal-Social
School counselors provide counseling sessions in individual and small-group setting to help students overcome issues impeding achievement or success, including difficulties dealing with relationships, personal concerns, or normal developmental tasks. Counseling is planned and goal-focused and it is short-term in nature. School Counselors do not provide therapy or long-term counseling in schools to address psychological disorders.
