__ counseling (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

career

'counseling' is the definition.
(career counseling is a kind of counseling)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for career that I've seen before include "Long-time occupation" , "job, but one that lasts for years?" , "Not intellectual" , "Long-term occupation" , "Go at top speed through a working life?" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
