Online Christian Counseling

If you suffer from social anxiety, are at a higher risk of illness, or are concerned about public transportation or commuting to a brick-and-mortar office, then online Christian counseling is for you.

If you prefer to meet with a counselor in the privacy of your own home to feel more relaxed during your session, then consider online counseling. Scheduling an appointment is easy – just choose your counselor and pick a time slot. You will receive an email with directions on how to access your session. On the appointment day, arrive a few minutes early to ensure that the audio and video are working correctly.

Your counselor will follow the same process as before, and you will receive the same level of care and professionalism. Clients tend to share more with a trusted counselor in a familiar environment. You may find that you pay closer attention to the counselor and feel safer during an online session compared to in-person meetings. You will no longer need to worry about transportation issues and missing your appointment.

We offer numerous services online for our clients. You can connect with a counselor who specializes in the issue of concern. You can also find a counselor who works with couples, families, and groups.

Couples Counseling

You can find a counselor who specializes in premarital and marriage counseling. Before the wedding day, you should know what to expect, and premarital counseling takes the guesswork out. You and your significant other will discuss and come to agreements about finances, household duties, children, parenting, careers, communication issues, sex, and more.

If you are having trouble in your marriage, find a counselor who works in marriage intensives. Choose a time slot that works well for both you and your spouse. The counselor will listen, offer suggestions, and teach you communication and interpersonal skills.

Your counselor will combine the latest in psychological science and biblical principles in online Christian counseling to get you through a myriad of issues such as addictions and infidelity.

Family Counseling

Online counselors can address family issues and meet with family members together or individually, depending on their age. Issues affecting teens and children and how they affect the family is covered. The counselor may meet with a family to discuss concerns over anxiety and depression, ADHD, eating disorders, behavioral problems, substance abuse, or sexual promiscuity.

The family may need to work out topics facing the parents and affecting their children, such as addiction, eating disorders, marriage problems, grief and loss, mental disorders, or financial difficulties.

Working as a family teaches your children never to give up on one another. They will also learn to diffuse arguments, communicate their needs, and set boundaries.

Group Counseling

Group counseling online is a fantastic way to meet with others about a specific topic in the safety of your own home. Group counseling sessions will vary per counselor, but you may be able to find groups covering anger management, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, social anxiety, sexual addictions, sexual abuse, women’s issues, or life coaching.

In group counseling, clients can share their experiences or something new they tried, as suggested by the counselor. Social recognition and accountability may be enough for some people to keep working towards overcoming a condition.

Contact our office to hear more about group counseling sessions and counselors specializing in a particular topic.

Individual Counseling

Many people prefer a solo approach to counseling. You can meet one-on-one with your counselor online. The counselor will have you complete an assessment so that they can see where you are at baseline. Together, you will create a mental health plan to help you reach your goals.

Depending on your reason for the counseling, sessions can run from once a week to a few days a week and last for weeks or months.

• Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – This condition is often diagnosed during childhood that is marked by a lack of focus.
• Anger Management – Uncontrollable anger will affect your relationships and threaten your future.
• Anxiety – There are several anxiety disorders, but chronic anxiety can keep you from striving for new opportunities or maintaining relationships.
• Bipolar Disorder – Bipolar behavior describes the manic high-highs in a person followed by a depressive state that can last for weeks or months.
• Codependency – Codependency describes the toxic behavior in a relationship where one person is the “giver,” and the other is the “taker,” neither of whom is completely happy or fully functional without the other.
• Depression – Depression is known for its constant sadness and lethargic state and leaves the person isolated and not wanting to resume their normal activities. In severe cases, depression can lead to suicide.
• Eating Disorders – Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating; if left untreated, these disorders can be deadly.
• Grief and Loss – The death of a loved one leaves a hole, but when complicated grief develops, it will interfere with the person’s ability to move forward in their life. They are more likely to lose relationships and jobs and isolate themselves from the world.
• Infidelity and Affairs – The Bible mentions adultery several times as it is challenging to recover emotionally and mentally and to be able to trust the other person again.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – OCD has several types, including organizing, counting, and hoarding. The symptoms interfere with daily life and leave a person feeling awkward and embarrassed.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – PTSD can develop from any trauma and rise to the surface when confronted with sounds or memories. The person may react to the trauma when no danger is present.
• Sexual Addictions – Sexual addictions and pornography create divisions in a marriage or intimate relationship and can lead to other problems like adultery.
• Sexual Abuse – Experiencing sexual abuse, whether as child or an adult, interferes with the person’s ability to trust a new partner or the ability to have a satisfying sex life in a marriage. Often, when sexual intimacy is lacking, emotional intimacy can also falter.
• Life Coaching – Coaching helps you meet your goals in all areas that need special attention. Counselors show you how to set realistic goals, plan how to reach those goals, and check in with you for accountability. You will often revisit and reassess your goals and learn new skills to achieve them. People use life coaching for personal goals, professional development, financial goals, and even weight loss.
• Men’s and Women’s Issues – Issues that affect only men or women are often seen in online counseling as each person feels more confident to share their struggles from the safety of their home. These topics include erectile dysfunction, fatherhood, menopause, pregnancy, and infertility.
• Personal and Professional Development – Constantly working on self-improvement can change your life and mindset. Clients seek to learn how to know themselves better and communicate with the world around them. They work to learn communication and interpersonal skills to grow in their personal and professional lives.

This is not an inclusive list. We serve clients with various needs and mental conditions. Reach out to our office today to learn more. We would love to work with you and “meet” you online.
