You don't provide enough information for me to give a definitive answer. However, generally, where the employer is covered by FMLA, employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks unpaid leave to obtain treatment for a serious health condition. If the counseling is treatment for a diagnosed serious physical or emotional condition you may be entitled to leave for the treatment. If you are entitled to the leave, it may be taken as "intermittent leave" - used in hourly increments rather than entire days off. However, if you are simply seeking counseling to help you resolve personal issues, that sort of intervention may not be a "serious health condition" which would entitle you to leave.
