Individual counseling is usually conducted during face-to-face meetings (or sessions) in which the therapist and the client talk about what is troubling the client.

The primary focus of these sessions is to help the couple deal with any interpersonal difficulties or other issues impacting the relationship.

During family therapy, the entire family is seen by the therapist. While one member of the family may have symptoms, their solution may lie in treating the family as a whole.

Psychological assessment is a procedure that clinicians use to gain an understanding of the unique characteristics of individuals and to get information about the success of their treatment.

Psychological consultation focuses on the needs of individuals, groups, programs or organizations and refers to planned interactions between the psychologist (consultant) and one or more clients or colleagues (consultees) relative to a problem, person, area, or program.
