What sets professional counseling apart from layperson counseling such as (biblical counseling, para-professional Christian/pastoral counseling, and life coaching), is the fact that to provide professional counseling one must at minimum have a professional Master's degree in a form of professional counseling (Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional Psychology, Clinical Social Work) from an accredited university or college. One must sit for an intense comprehensive national exam and pass it. One must go through a rigorous state licensing process, one must complete a mandatory 3000 state required supervised training hours, and one must utilize a clinical theory as trained in school to call the services they provide professional counseling or psychotherapy. Counseling that is considered professional utilizes one of the therapeutic modalities that all professional counselors learn in their professional master's/doctoral program.
