Defining Interviewing, Counseling, and Psychotherapy
Interviewing is the basic process used for gathering data, providing information and Interviewing Interviewing advice to clients, and suggesting workable alternatives for resolving concerns.
Counseling is a more intensive and personal process. Although counselors and therapists interview to gain client information, counseling is more about listening to and understanding a client’s life challenges and developing strategies for change and growth.
Psychotherapy focuses on more deep-seated difficulties, which often require more time for resolution.
