Certified Life Skills Counselors℠ (CLSC℠)

Certified Life Skills Counselors (CLSC) are not just educators – they are trusted, one-on-one guides who empower individuals to build essential life skills through personalized coaching and direct support. CLSC-certified professionals combine deep life skills knowledge with coaching strategies that foster confidence, self-reliance, and meaningful daily progress.

Unlike instructors who primarily work with groups, CLSC counselors focus on building strong relationships with each client, creating tailored plans that address unique goals, circumstances, and challenges. Life skills counseling is never a one-size-fits-all endeavor – it requires empathy, adaptability, and the ability to meet people exactly where they are. CLSC counselors help individuals develop real-world skills, overcome obstacles, and make lasting life improvements.
