The terms "family therapy" and "family counseling" are often used interchangeably (and we have done so on this page). Sometimes, however, "family counseling" can refer to services provided by a different kind of professional, like a case worker, guidance counselor, or other kind of support worker.
Family therapy is provided by a mental health professional, such as a licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, licensed marriage and family therapist, or a pre-licensed professional.

In group therapy, members typically don't know each other. They are strangers who, with the guidance of a mental health professional, attend sessions to work toward goals they share, like recovering from substance abuse, navigating divorce, or coping with mental health issues like bipolar disorder.
Family therapy can take place with a group of people, but they all know each other (e.g. sessions with parents and children together). Sometimes, family therapists will also meet with each family member individually at points in the process.
