What are the roles and functions of counselor?

A counselor's job is to help a patient learn more healthy ways of thinking and behaving. Some patients have a mental disorder like depression or schizophrenia, and will never be cured. The counselor helps those people to learn ways of dealing with their disorder and coping in the "real world." Other people are suffering from a temporary condition like grief or anxiety. The counselor helps these people learn more healthy ways to deal with their emotions, and they are cured.
