What degree does one need to be a counselor? What is a good online school?
I have an MBA and am interested in a career change. I would like to be a counselor but don’t know what specific degree one needs. I am a Virginia resident but would like to find online degrees. Info is appreciated.

a counselor as in a therapist?
i would defer from online schools. i am in a grad program right now and i wouldnt recommend going to an online school. especially if youre going to become a counselor youre going to require a lot of people interaction, which is a key part of your job. getting that type of training over the internet is very difficult and might defer future employers.
usually to become a therapist MFT or LPC ….you’d need to go get your Masters. Most programs are a year of study and a year of unpaid internship.
