Hello Friends,
Can you please explain the difference between the counseling theories and modalities of LPC, LCSW, and MFT? I have heard conflicting information, and some have said that the differences are based in the individual programs, not the professions as a whole.
I do not have a background in psychology (I studied economics). I am just starting to look into the various counseling theories and modalities, so I cannot say specifically which I am interested in. Generally speaking, I want to help people by teaching them to examine their own minds, and see how the way they relate wit their thoughts, their mental habits, identities, and beliefs/expectations about life make them happy or unhappy. I am interested in mindfulness based practices. Can you please recommend clinically focused programs that would suit this preference? I am not interested in doing case management in my career.
Thank you so much for your help
