Sometimes a person will seek counseling, and other times they will be ordered to take it. Counseling can involve mental health, money, legal issues, or life direction. You usually are not required to do what a counselor advises, only to take it under consideration.

There can be contradictions between stated thought and feeling, contradictions between feeling and behavior, and on and on. And things that can complicate matters further is that the patient can feel two polar opposite feelings at the same time. Most times, patients are not aware they are doing this. In order to help clients address mental and emotional distress, it is extremely important that these inconsistencies be brought to their attention and addressed. If they are not, they can actually contribute in keeping the patient stuck in their problem.
