The function of guidance and psychological counseling for students is one of the crucial duties that teachers in secondary schools frequently assume in addition to their teaching responsibilities. To fulfill their roles and responsibilities effectively, teachers must receive training and practice in providing psychological therapy to students. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the psychological counseling skills of teachers regarding two groups of skills: fundamental skills and specialized skills. A total of 456 middle school teachers participated in the qualitative study in Dak Nong, Vietnam. According to the study's findings, most teachers considered the performance of counseling skills as good. There have been various proposals for the development of teacher training programs and development in counseling skills. Future research must focus further on the subjective and objective elements that influence the psychological counseling skills of teachers.
