There are cranks in any field so I wouldn’t apply such a broad brush to counselling. As MacDoc suggests you need to find the right one to specialize in the set of problems you are having.
In my experience, the best counselors I have had were the ones that gave me the emotional tools to take control of my life after stabilizing all other factors. This may mean medication or CBT or a combination of both.
