What Is Msw In Counseling?

Counseling is a type of ‘talk therapy’ that is used to help people. In therapy, a person, couple, or family meets with a qualified professional counsellor to discuss concerns and problems that they are experiencing in their life. It is a process that takes place over time. A professional counselor maintains the client’s confidentiality and is nonjudgmental.

Social workers pursue a master’s degree in social work (MSW) or a licensure as a clinical social worker (LCSW) after completing their undergraduate studies. Training normally consists of two years of classroom instruction and hands-on experience working in community-based organizations.
