Counseling

7051 Heathcote Village Way, Gainesville, VA 20155

571-237-4556

Mr. Doug McCracken works as a counseling specialist in Gainesville, VA.

"He was listed as working with kids. He refused to play games which is the only way my child will talk with a therapist. If my child was not interested in talking with him he made no effort to engage him and said, "It was up to my teenager to talk". He had no interest in working with my teen without me present. He also felt it was ethical to see both me and my child as separate clients - despite my struggles with my child being primarily what I was looking for counseling for. "

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
