In order to be a counselor, you will need a college degree, typically a masters degree is the minimum requirement. You can earn a degree either online or by attending a traditional university and you can study full time or part time. :o)

Yes. It usually requires an MS in counseling or in child, family counseling. I have an MS in school counseling that required graduate classes in counseling and an internship. This was 2 years more of school beyond my BS. The child and family counseling requires 600 hours of Internship. Check with your local college for more information about what your state requires.
