During counseling sessions, your therapist will help you explore behaviors, feelings, and ideas that are negatively influencing your mental health and identify methods for behavior modification. Counselors may also identify traumatic experiences from your past, such as a divorce, abuse, substance use, job loss, or family member's death that affects your mental health today to help you work through these events and regain control over your life.
