counseling on this site or in real life? This site does not do counseling. No therapists practicing here.

In real life a person goes to counseling because they have a problem. During counseling you will have an intake appointment for filling out paperwork - why you are there and what you want to accomplish, name address and so on. The next few sessions will be working up a goal sheet - basically getting more information about what the problem is and setting goals to solve that problem. Future sessions will be working on those goals.

A Counseling professional cannot solve your problems for you. They can supply a room for you to go in every week, a neutral person (that therapy profession) that can listen to the problems and point out areas that you can't or wont look at in the problem. basically making sure you see the whole problem so that once the emotions of the problem settle down YOU will see the solutions and YOU will have to actively work those solutions into your life if you want a better life.
