Clarifying Your Path. Leveraging Your Strengths. Making Work Work For You.
What Is Career Counseling?
Career counseling is a focused process that helps you explore work-related questions such as choosing a path, shifting careers, updating your goals, or aligning work with your values. Whether you are just starting out, considering a mid-career change, or looking for more fulfillment in your current role, career counseling supports you in finding direction, building a plan, and moving forward with confidence.
Who Benefits From This Approach
Career counseling can be a great fit if you:
- Are you entering the workforce and unsure which direction feels right
- Have been in a job for a while and feel stuck or ready for change
- Want to align your career with your values, strengths, and lifestyle
- Struggle to clarify your skills, interests, or next steps
- Are you ready to create a plan that fits your goals and helps you take action
If you are also navigating mental health challenges that affect your confidence, motivation, or sense of direction, we can explore how career counseling and therapy can work together to support you fully.
How I Use Career Counseling In Sessions
In our sessions, I help you identify your goals and translate them into realistic, actionable steps.
- Explore Interests, Values, and Strengths – We discuss what energizes you, what drains you, and what matters most to you.
- Map Your Skills And Experience – We look at how your current strengths connect to potential opportunities.
- Clarify Career Goals – We define what meaningful work looks like for you and how to get there.
- Identify Pathways And Options – We consider possible roles, industries, and transitions that fit your lifestyle and goals.
- Build an Action Plan – You leave with clear steps for moving forward, whether that involves a career change, further education, or skill development.
- Reflect And Adjust – As you try new things, we evaluate what works, what doesn’t, and refine your plan along the way.
What You Can Expect In Sessions
Career counseling is collaborative and practical. You bring your experiences and questions, and I provide structure, tools, and guidance.
You can expect to:
- Gain clarity about what you want and why it matters
- Leave sessions with concrete action steps rather than uncertainty
- Feel momentum instead of being stuck
- Align your work more closely with your strengths and values
- Build confidence in your decisions and direction
Why This Approach Matters
Work plays a major role in our well-being and sense of identity. When it aligns with who you are, it brings energy, purpose, and balance. When it doesn’t, it can lead to stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction. Career counseling helps you make work more meaningful and sustainable by connecting it to your values, strengths, and long-term goals.
At Groundbreaker Therapy, I believe that creating a fulfilling career isn’t just about finding a job — it’s about building a life that reflects who you are and how you want to contribute.
Is This Approach Right For You?
Career counseling may be right for you if you:
- Want to move from uncertainty to clarity
- Are you ready to take action instead of staying stuck in indecision
- Value meaningful, aligned work
- Want guidance in planning and executing career changes
If you are currently under intense stress or dealing with emotional challenges, we can focus first on stabilizing your well-being before diving into career planning. Once you are ready, we can integrate both areas for a holistic approach.
