Different countries have different views on this. In America, anyone can call themselves a counselor, but only those who are professionally trained can call themselves a therapist. And all the different types of therapists have different specialities and focuses. For example, an LCSW knows a lot about community resources and how to get their clients in touch with those, along with knowing how to do therapy. An MFT specializes in marriage and family therapy, although they can do individual therapy as well. And a PsyD knows a lot about research and how to conduct it as well as how to do therapy.
