The best way to include work as a counselor on your resume is to clarify what type of counselor, add certifications if applicable, and expand your work history section experience. If you are going to use "counselor" on your resume, the most important information is to explain what kind.

Think about what you learned or accomplished as a counselor and how it relates to the job you are applying for. Counseling jobs provide communication, observation, and analysis skills useful in various other fields, especially working with other people.

In the work experience section of your resume, write when, where, and for how long you worked as a counselor, including your job title. If you are a counselor with additional certifications in Drug and Alcohol Counseling or a Master's in Social Work, you can also include this in the Education or Certification section of your resume.
