I have over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I also have a Post-graduate certification in Complementary Medicine and Wellness. Therefore I am a Holistic Counselor, which means I look at the WHOLE person. I address the interaction of the mind and body. For example, if a client has stress / anxiety we will look at the underlying issues like workplace issues and / or nutrition and / or possible health culprits like high-blood pressure. One's spiritual side may also be addressed if the client so chooses.
I give the client "homework". It may be as simple as journaling and / or taking notes to discuss next time and / or changing some bad habits.
Actually, it is difficult to say exactly what I do, or might do with a client. Each person is an individual and I develop a plan, according to what that client might need. Sometimes, the client may need a listener / an objective ear to process some things with. The possibilities of what Counseling can be are numerous.
I can assist clients with Life Coaching as well, by weighing career options, relationship issues, nutrition, health topics, etc.
Christian / Spiritual Counseling is another area I work within. I find that to be a comfort to clients working with grief and loss issues, weather that be a death of a loved one and / or the loss of a marriage / relationship, job, etc.
