The development of school counseling in China is in the initial stage, and the development of school counseling in the United States provides beneficial inspiration and reference for the construction and development of school counseling in Chinese style transformation. The mental health education in primary and secondary schools being implemented has an inevitable overlap and similar characteristics with school counseling in the United States. Still, there are differences between school counseling and psychological counseling. Based on the interviews with school counseling and the analysis of relevant text data, it is found that the beneficial experiences in the construction and development of school counseling in China include top-level design, school ecology, technology empowerment, etc. Their difficulties include a lack of cognition, family education needs to be optimized, and a lack of teachers, etc. The text provides specific countermeasures. This paper proposes the establishment of a collaborative school counseling community concept, centers on students and their psychological well-being, aims at fostering students' individual and social development, academic advancement, and career growth, through the concerted efforts of family, school, and community.
