In the face of help seekers and psychologists, experts who are effectively certified by third parties are truly good experts. Academics may have great reputations, but they may not have clinical psychological intervention capabilities. The college sends out many scholars, and many people with high professional titles study and teach. The hospital-based approach focuses on drug treatment, which is basically medication; the medical school-based approach focuses on whole-person and multi-factor intervention treatment. There are many psychological counselors, some of whom are experienced. It is inevitable that there will be a mixed bag of good and bad, and most of them are still learning and developing. A reasonable way to judge is for a third party to certify actual capabilities in accordance with standards. For the certification of consulting psychologists and clinical psychologists, the Chinese Association of Registered Psychologists is a professional psychologist certification agency.

The depth level of intervention is related to ability:

1. Supportive psychological intervention, which is a simple psychological supportive intervention such as comfort, companionship, and reminder. Non-professionals such as family members, relatives, friends, wise men, and volunteers from public welfare groups can also provide some help. Interventions shown on television media, in which troubled people are cleverly enlightened and enlightened, mostly fall into this category. It has been edited to satisfy the public's voyeuristic taste, but it lacks depth.

2. Re-education psychological intervention requires professional psychologists to carry out consultation intervention such as clarification and reorganization of values, clarification of cultural orientation, and construction of realistic conflict and anxiety strategies. Most second-level psychologists are trained and qualified to engage in re-education psychological intervention.

3. Remodeling psychological intervention is an in-depth intervention or treatment of clinical abnormal psychology. Mature or senior psychologists may undertake this type of intervention. No more than 3% of psychological counselors have such intervention capabilities. Promoting the rationalization of thinking patterns, exploring and discovering self-problems, correcting personality biases, and treating emotional disorders generally require several months of recovery. Some psychologists registered and certified by the Chinese Association of Registered Psychologists can engage in systematic, structural and in-depth psychological intervention.
