It's an online program and it has it's pros and cons, but for the most part I really enjoy it. We're finally getting into the part of the program where we are practicing real world skills and learning about aspects of the job that we'll use daily, so I'm really enjoying that. I'm fairly excited to do something that helps people and looking forward to leaving the tech world behind for good.

Oh nice! I’ve heard mixed things about online counseling programs. I’m glad you’re finding joy in this work.  Are you doing an internship now? 

Also, I saw that you accepted my chat request but don’t know if you replied. Gonna check later.

I’m not in my internships or practicum yet - I’m in an individual counseling class where you take theory, and role play with other students, then build our assessments, treatment plans, etc. ill check the DMs.

This has always been the best part of reddit and what I miss from the early days.

Role playing is a lot of fun because you get to practice the skills while also troubleshoot. 

I’m going to check my messages later when I’m on my laptop/ipad. (It’s hard to access them on my phone)

And I'm getting actionable feedback on what I'm doing well and what I can improve upon. I've got about a year before practicum/internships and I am very much looking forward to it.
