Chapter 2
What Do Counselors Do?
Chapter Overview
This chapter highlights the many different roles that counselors might assume, highlighting 20 common roles and
functions of counselors. Readers are encouraged to interact with the reading by making note of the roles that are
most and least appealing to them as they consider their future in the profession. Four stories by practicing counselors
in different settings are used to highlight how counselors choose to engage in these activities, including a pie chart
with the percentage of time these professionals spend in each of their roles. The Counseling Controversy in this
chapter highlights a particularly controversial role, that of counselor as diagnostician, and provides arguments for
and against this activity. In the Informed by Research feature, readers learn how research can be used to advocate for
the appropriate use of a counselor’s time.
Learner Objectives
The learner will:
1. be exposed to many different roles that counselors might assume
2. understand the variety of roles within the counseling profession and begin to see counseling as a diverse
profession
3. be able to describe the basic components of each of the 20 roles listed
4. understand why some roles and functions are inappropriate for counselors
5. be able to describe the pros and cons of counselors as diagnosticians from the Counseling Controversy
6. use the Informed by Research feature to understand how school counselors can use research to advocate for
their profession
7. determine which roles are most appealing as s/he considers her/his future identity as a professional counselor
Special Interactive Features Embedded in this Chapter
There are many special features included in this chapter that can be used to encourage learners to begin to form an
understanding of the counseling profession and their future role as a professional counselor.
The following features specifically include an interactive feature that can be used for classroom discussion, small
group activities, or journaling.
Table 2.1: The Many Roles of the Counselor
Purpose
To help students begin to see the diversity of the profession and to start the conversation about their ideal job
as a professional counselor.
Interactive Activity
In this table, students are introduced to 20 different roles that counselors might assume. Before reading the full
discussion of each of the roles, students are asked to make a notation to indicate (A) roles that they are very
interested in; (B) roles that they are uncertain about; (C) roles that they do not think would be a good fit for
them; (!!) roles that surprise or intrigue them; and (?) roles that they do not know enough about to form an
opinion.
Suggested Activities or Classroom Discussion Questions
1. Have students complete these tasks before reading the chapter. Once they have completed the reading
(or classroom discussion), have them return to the table and make any changes to their responses. What
did they learn that caused them to change their opinions?
2. The four counselors with Snapshots in this chapter have a pie chart of their “typical day” divided into
the different roles they assume. Have students develop a pie chart that includes the percentage of time in
each of the different roles for their “ideal job” as a counselor. Once the pie chart is completed,
encourage discussion or exploration about what setting or specialty might accommodate their interests.
(Note: it may be useful to return to this same pie chart later in the academic term to see if any of their
ideas have changed as they learned more about the profession.
3. Divide the roles among students in the class and have them learn more about their assigned role and
report back to the class with more information. Students might interview counselors or members of the
community, read information on the Internet, or attend workshops or trainings to learn more about
particular roles.
Counseling Controversy: Should mental health counselors engage in diagnosis of mental and emotional disorders?
Purpose
To introduce students to a current discussion in the field that has strong advocates on both sides. Counseling
Controversies are designed to help students recognize that this is not a static profession that they must
memorize “correct” answers about. Rather, the counseling profession is full of excitement and energy and a
diversity of opinions and ideas.
Interactive Activity
In this controversy, students are exposed to the idea of diagnosis of mental and emotional disorders, the DSM,
and the current controversy surrounding this topic. They are asked to place an “X” on the continuum between
the two sides at the place that best represents their current thinking about the controversy and to make some
quick notes about their reasoning.
Suggested Activities or Classroom Discussion Questions
1. Encourage students to mark in their books where they stand on this continuum and their reasoning.
2. Use a debate style in class, and have students take sides of this argument. Consider bringing in outside
resources or information to enhance the discussion.
3. Encourage students to take a broader view of this issue. Instead of the implied dualism of the debate
(e.g., either this side or that side is “correct”), what if both sides are right? Where would the middle
ground be? What if neither of these arguments is correct? The Counseling Controversy provides a
“teachable moment” about the complexities of the profession and the many diverse opinions and ideas
held by counseling professionals.
4. Have students look up their state in Table 2.2 to see if licensed mental health counselors in their states
have diagnosis within their scope of practice. What does it mean for future counselors to be licensed in a
state that does (or does not) include diagnosis?
5. Designate two ends of the classroom as the two points on the continuum of this debate, and have
students place themselves where they think they stand on this issue. Allow students at different points in
the continuum to articulate why they chose to stand in that spot.
6. Revisit this controversy later in the term (this underscores the importance of having students make a
mark in their books at this point in the term so they remember where they started). Has anything
changed now that they have more information about the profession?
Spotlight: The Many Faces of Advocacy
Purpose
To help students recognize that advocacy is part of the profession of counseling, in big ways and small, and to
encourage them to think about their own role and responsibility as an advocate for others and for the
profession.
Interactive Activity
In this Spotlight, students are exposed to 13 different stories of advocacy by counseling students and
professionals. Some of the stories represent large-scale, lifelong efforts while others are simpler stories of
small choices that counselors made that can have a big impact on the lives the others. Students are asked to
think about what their own contribution to advocacy might be.
Suggested Activities or Classroom Discussion Questions
1. What does it mean to be an advocate? Why is it considered a “professional imperative” for counselors?
2. If available in your campus or community, bring in a guest speaker from NAMI (National Alliance on
Mental Illness) or Mental Health America or other groups that advocates for mental health support.
3. As students construct their own stories of advocacy, help them develop both long-term goals and
shorter- term projects or ideas that they can complete while in graduate school.
