Emergency mental support
A crisis counselor is a mental health professional who provides immediate support to people experiencing acute psychological distress—suicidal thoughts, trauma, panic, or overwhelming life events.
Unlike ongoing therapy, crisis counseling focuses on stabilization and short-term intervention: The crisis counselor talked him through the night after his wife left.
They work on hotlines, in emergency rooms, schools, and disaster response teams.
