Counselling can be useful for undoing, or avoiding maladaptive behaviours (behaviours that are intended to help one problem, but cause other, often more severe problems elsewhere). It’s mostly covering the emotional results but the line is quite blurry.
If your tinnitus is bad enough for it to be offered, your likely experiencing emotional based stress from it’s fallout. Unpicking that, can avoid developing worse behaviours e.g. using alcohol to get drunk each night, to help fall asleep.
I would guess, with tinnitus, you would also want more specialist help. Tinnitus itself is in the brain, it’s very often caused by physical problems in the inner ear. It’s possible to reprogram the brain to ignore the rogue signals (ghost or real). That would likely fall under the CBT umbrella, if not something even more specialised.
