Professional Counseling Services – Incredible Selection from Which to Choose

For almost every aspect of human life, professional counseling services are available. For example, professional counseling services include premarital, marriage and divorce counseling. School and career counseling are also offered. Do you know someone who has benefited from health, sex or genetic counseling? Or, how about family, abuse or addictions counselling?

This list of professional counseling services was compiled using new, innovative search frequency research. Compilation of query results like those shown in the bar graphs below can be used for many different purposes, including tracking changes and developments in the need for substance abuse services.

Substance Abuse Counseling – Not a Prominent Search

Although substance abuse continues to be an increasing problem in today’s society, searches for substance abuse counseling do not figure prominently in this study. In fact, in Graph 1, the phrase “substance abuse” is only the 14th most commonly searched phrase with 25,693 queries. Even combined with the 27th most commonly searched phrase, “substance abuse counselor” (17,599) and two phrases from Graph 3, “addiction counseling” (6,978) and “substance abuse counseling” (5,223), the queries are relatively low in comparison to many other search topics in this study.

By contrast, one particularly popular query topic is marriage counseling. The phrase “marriage counseling” is the third most commonly searched phrase in Graph 1 (76,857 searches). Similarly, “relationship counselling” received 18,125 queries. Graph 3 also reveals quests for “marriage counselor” and “marriage counselors”.  Compared to recent divorce statistics in both Canada and the United States, perhaps these searches are not all that surprising.

Consumer Credit Counseling – Overwhelmingly Popular

More shocking is the large search totals for the “consumer credit counseling”. In Graph 1, “credit counseling” is the most commonly searched word combination with 320,124 queries. As well, “debt counseling” is the 5th phrase in Graph 1 with 53,460 searches. It seems individuals are having even more difficulty dealing with their finances than their relationships. Recent Statistics Canada numbers report bankruptcy filings on the rise, with one out of every 329 people declaring bankruptcy.
