How does technology affect our personalities?

Technology can impact our personalities by influencing how we communicate, think, and interact with others. It can shape our attention spans, social skills, and even self-esteem through constant exposure to curated online content. Additionally, technology can enable new forms of self-expression and identity formation, as well as contribute to feelings of isolation or FOMO.

What is the abbreviation for Master of Science on Psychological counseling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It often depends on the school. Usually I see the MSCP if it is indeed a Masters of Science. Much like the common MACP, however in that case it is Masters of Arts instead on science. It can cause confusion from school to school but overall the answer will depend where you go.

The Florida LMHC certificate is generally transferable to all the states and some foreign countries. In most cases, the holder must apply for and obtain a license in the new jurisdiction and conform to their regulations regarding continuing education, etc.

The PLMHC is not recognized.

Which is more marketable an MSW or a Mental health counseling degree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am an independent social worker in RI. At our agency, LICSW and LMHC are considered equivalent for hiring and billing. Pay scales would be the same. My personal bias is toward the MSW, because of NASW and the excellent Code of Ethics. But regarding marketability, I think they are pretty much the same.

What degree will you have when you graduate a mental health counseling program?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Great question. I have an MA in Clinical Psychology (Counseling Specialization). The trick is that after you finish your MA, you become licensed as a professional counselor. After a certain amount of supervised hours, you can become a clinical counselor. I use these terms vaguely because depending on what state you live in, they can vary wildly. In Illinois, I was a Licensed Professional Counselor and now I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor which means I can work unsupervised.

Once you are licensed, the sky is the limit. You can fit into a variety of roles. Most common is community mental health or community addiction which is counseling but focused on addiction. Community mental health can admittedly be stressful, they are very rewarding. Despite a poor and viral misunderstanding, you can be a psychotherapist and you can work in, and own a private practice once you are clinically licensed.

Other interesting jobs include Emergency Room clinician where you determine if someone requires hospitalization. With an MA you can teach both online and in a brick and mortar school. admittedly, these sometimes sway towards PhD's and EdD's but they are out there.

Psychometry is also available. This is a position where you perform testing to be evaluated by a psychiatrist or psychologist. Career counseling is also a potential position. So really there are so many ways you can go. This is not an exhaustive list by any means. Good luck!

What are the theories of mental health counseling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mental health counseling in psychology can be defined as a feeling of being overloaded or pressurized. It may lead to other abnormal or impaired functioning of a bodily system or organ as well. For example, most of the students feel stress during exams because he or she have to study a lot of content in a shorter time of period which leads to a mental pressure. Likewise, an employee also gets stressed out when there is a heavy workload.

We all have heard the term "stress". I know this word sounds dreadful as no one wants a stressful life or stressful things around them. But little stress is important for life because some works are always done under pressure and motivate you to do your best. Still, if you find yourself frazzled and overwhelmed, it's time to take serious action to bring your nervous system back into balance.

How do you write your signature with a masters in mental health counseling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I will assume it is a Masters of arts in MHC. If you are not licensed, you can certainly get away with the common MA or MS (if it were a masters of science). For example, I would use Daniel Giers, MA

Once you add licenses you would usually put them after the degree. In my personal case I use Daniel Giers, MA, LCPC.

How do you get over seeing pictures of gruesome death?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Death isn't scary. Should you happen to have a 'messy death', you're pain will be the same as a 'normal' death. Death is a reward, and NOT to be feared. Don't kill yourself, but look forward to the next step. There is a God.

How can a person without goals be encouraged to do so?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think you wanted to type goal instead you typed goel. But lets take the goal aspect of it. Life is a definitive timeline. Everyone dies. So the life doesnt increase or decrease because of any goal. In fact the quantity part remains the same. What changes is the quality within that quantity of years. So if you have goals you will feel more happy and satisfied living a life that will be worth living.

A girl in my class cuts herself and she says that she cant tell her mom because she is part of the reason she cuts herself and she admits that she needs help and you dont know what to do any advice?

User Avatar

Asked by Idonno32

She needs immediate professional help. Do whatever you can to get her to a therapist. See the links below for more information. You sound like you are a teen just like me. And teens are not going to go to adults to get professional help. I understand, because I am doing the same thing in life that your friend is doing. Life is hard, and it is her choice to cut herself. There is 2 things that you can do; what I do when a friend of mine is cutting, smoking, or hurting themselves in anyway, is tell them that if they do, that they will loose everything. My friend was doing hard drugs, so I told him that if he continues, I will do them all twice as hard. And that got him to stop. My other friend, she was cutting, and I told her that if she continued, I would cut twice as deep. She stopped.
