Actually the primary purpose of counseling is to help people find and deal with the roots of their problems. For example someone has a fear of intimacy. They see a counselor and through a family history study and discussion of that person’s past, they discover that the person in question had been deeply hurt by their opposite sex parent. Here is the cause of the problem. The therapist helps the person realize then deal with and let go of the issue.
Yes drug addiction and bad credit are things that counseling can help, but they aren’t the only issues counseling deals with or even the primary ones.
