Counseling psychologists typically help people manage everyday challenges and less severe emotional or behavioral problems. Clinical psychologists are more likely to assess and treat serious psychological disorders. Medication treatment is generally provided by psychiatrists or other qualified prescribers, while nursing diagnoses are associated with nursing practice.
