ASP.NET Core pass int value from ajax to View

Question

In ASP.NET Core I am trying to pass a value from ajax to view, I have an action that passes an int value to an ajax call, and from there, ajax tells my view to blink or not. Here is the controller

public ActionResult GetCounselingCount()
{
        var result = 0;
        try
        {
            var Counseling = _context.TableName.Where(f => f.FolderStatusId == 12)
               .Where(f => f.IsActive == true).Count();

            if (Counseling != 0)
            {
                result = Counseling;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
        return Json(result);
}

result is passed to my ajax call

$.ajax({
    dataType: "json",
    url: window.location.origin + "/ControllerName/GetCounselingCount",
    success: function (result) {
        if (result != 0) {
            $('#phaSection').addClass("blinking");
        }
        else {
            if ($('#phaSection').hasClass("blinking")) {
                $('#phaSection').removeClass("blinking");
            }
        }
    }
});

This works fine when I pass <li id="phaSection"> to my view,

<li id="phaSection" class="nav-item @((ViewContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString() == "ControllerName") && (ViewContext.RouteData.Values["Action"].ToString() == "Counseling") ? "active" : "")">
    <a class="nav-link" asp-controller="ControllerName" asp-action="Counseling">
        <i class="fas fa-book-reader"></i>
        <span>Counseling</span>
    </a>
</li>

This causes Counseling to blink as expected, however my question is how can I pass the int value result from my ajax to be displayed in my view? Instead of my view Counseling, I want it to be

Counseling + "value"

You can identify the  within your current target element and set its text:

$('#phaSection span').text('Counseling + ' + result);

Or give the  its own id:

<span id="someID">Counseling</span>

And target that directly like you do for the containing element:

$('#someID').text('Counseling + ' + result);

Either way, what you're looking to do is not "pass an int to a view" but rather just set the text of an element.
