Counseling at Lacamas Counseling is built around the needs of each client. Individual counseling focuses on a person's immediate need or future concern, whether that is mood and behavior such as anxiety, depression, anger, or isolation, identity concerns such as self-esteem, sexuality, family of origin, or career, or transitions such as school, parenting, job loss, or retirement. Couples counseling is designed to strengthen a romantic relationship, increase intimacy and closeness, and realign the relationship to the couple's values and goals. Family counseling focuses on the family as a whole, working on relationships, family identity, communication skills, conflict resolution, and patterns and roles. Sessions may be short-term, about 2 to 6 weeks for a specific problem, or long-term, about 2 months to 2 or more years for larger and more complex issues, and are typically scheduled weekly. Intensive counseling is offered twice a week for those in crisis or intense distress, while semi-regular and maintenance schedules are available as clients meet their goals.

Each completed bachelor's and master's degrees, including professional internships and training under licensed counseling supervisors, and some pursued additional licenses or specializations.
