Counseling psychologists focus on a wellness model and generally work with clients who have less severe mental illness.

∙ 12y agoWell, first of all, there are many different types of psychologists. A psychologist is someone who studies the mind. A clinical psychologist is basically a counselor (or a counseling psychologist) that talks with people and does psychological tests. But, unlike a counseling psychologist, they work more closely with people with mental disorders.

∙ 15y agoIt's a pretty big difference in some ways. If the degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) is earned in "clinical psychology", it qualifies the doctor to work in applied clinical and research settings throughout many domains of psychology (health, behavioral, forensic). A degree in "counseling psychology" is much more limiting. The course of study is typically less rigorous and the job opportunities later are more restrictive. A Ph.D. in counseling psychology would qualify the doctor to work in counseling centers, schools, etc - but it is unlikely that this person would be chosen to work in a setting like a mental hospital, prision, ER, etc... If I am advising a prospective graduate student, I always tell them to go the clinical psych route. Good luck to you.
