There are different types of counselors, such as psychologists and licensed professional counselors, who provide talk therapy and address mental health struggles. 2.) In a technology-driven society, face-to-face communication is becoming less common, leading to a loss of interpersonal connection and empathy. 3.) Grief is a natural response to loss and can take many forms, including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. 4.) The stages of grief, as described by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, although they may not occur in a linear fashion. 5.)
