Counseling and psychotherapy are two terms that are often used interchangeably. Typically, a counselor focuses on a specific issue for a limited period of time. Psychotherapy is generally more long-term, and focuses on the client as an individual, exploring self-perceptions, thoughts, behaviors, and underlying patterns that impel life choices. Sometimes counseling happens as a part of the therapeutic process, but psychotherapy encompasses much deeper aspects of self-actualization, healing, and understanding.
