Counseling can be a stepping stone to being a psychologist.

The difference is the degree.

A counselor only needs a masters, while a psychologist needs a doctorate since psychologist are doctors who specify in the study of psychology in whatever area of psychology that they chose to study or practice in.

I guess the true similarity in a psychologist and a counselor is that they both study and practice in psychology. A counselor can work for a psychologist.

That's about it.
