Meet the Growing Demand for Compassionate Counselors

OLLU’s counseling programs help you build a career rooted in empathy, advocacy, and impact through fully online, flexible learning.

Why a Master’s in Counseling? 

Mental health challenges don’t wait. The world needs more people who know how to guide others toward healing. Counselors are at the heart of that work, helping individuals thrive in schools, hospitals, clinics, and communities of every kind.

The need is urgent and growing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, mental health counselor roles are projected to grow 19 percent by 2033, a rate much faster than most careers. A master’s in counseling not only prepares you for a deeply fulfilling profession, it also positions you to meet this demand with confidence and compassion.

At OLLU, we offer three specializations: Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling, School Counseling, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. You’ll complete your coursework entirely online and gain hands-on experience through supervised practicum and internship placements. Designed to fit around your work and family life, our programs help you build the skills and knowledge to make an impact in the communities you serve.
