* Guidance Counselor: This is the most common and dedicated role for providing academic, career, and personal/social counseling to students. They often have a specific degree in counseling.
* School Counselor: Similar to a guidance counselor, but the title may be used more broadly to include those who work with students' mental health needs.
* School Psychologist: These professionals assess and address students' learning and behavioral challenges, often providing counseling as part of their role.
* Social Worker: Social workers in schools address students' social and emotional needs, including providing counseling and connecting families to resources.
* Teacher with Counseling Responsibilities: Some teachers, especially at the elementary level, may incorporate some counseling into their roles, providing emotional support and guidance to students in their classroom. However, they are not typically trained to the same depth as dedicated counselors.
* Mentor: While not always formal, teachers can act as mentors offering advice and support to students. This is less focused on structured counseling and more on informal guidance.
In short, while "counseling teacher" isn't a standard title, many educators provide counseling services to students, with the specific title reflecting their training and responsibilities.
