You can be more candid when answering this. Interviewers do not want a robot so show a little of your fun side and maybe highlight activities that could show how well-rounded you are (e.g. sports, music, arts, etc.)

"In between work or during the weekends, I hang out with my friends to watch a movie or try a new restaurant. Keeping myself active also helps so I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. However, when I have more time in my hands, I go out of town or out of the country to travel. It helps me recharge and really take my mind off work."

I enjoy yoga, going to the gym, hiking, and of course spending time with my family, friends, and my dog. I love to travel, see new places, meet new people, and am eager to do some more of that as time permits.

It's great that you have developed such a meaningful list of ways you care for yourself. Since this is a counseling role, you could also include a sentence or two about your personal values as they align with the practices of self-care, or why you value caring for yourself, so you can be in your best position to care for others.

One way I relieve stress is to meditate in the morning. It helps me to stay focused, calm, and present. I also enjoy social dancing (ballroom, swing, and country two-step)with my husband and friends. My daughters and I also jump at Gravady throughout the week.

Good strategies. It's important to show your process so the interviewer can see how you'd apply these techniques when feeling stressed at work.
