Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Christian therapist and a Christian counselor?

A Christian therapist is a licensed mental health professional (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) who integrates faith into clinical practice. A Christian counselor may be a pastor or faith leader providing guidance without clinical licensure. For mental health concerns, ensure your provider is licensed.

How do I find a good Christian counselor?

Search the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) directory, ask your church for referrals, or use Psychology Today's faith-based filter. Ensure they're licensed (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) for clinical concerns. A good fit means both clinical competence and shared values.

Does insurance pay for Christian counseling?

Insurance may cover Christian counseling if the counselor is a licensed mental health professional (LCSW, LPC, LMFT). Pastoral counseling by unlicensed clergy is not covered. Ask your counselor about their license type before booking.

What is a red flag for a therapist?

Warning signs include boundary violations, excessive self-disclosure, dismissing your concerns, being consistently late or distracted, pressuring you to stay when you want to stop, or making you feel worse after sessions. A good therapist makes you feel heard and safe.

What are the five types of Christian counseling?

Five main types include: Biblical/pastoral counseling (Scripture-based), nouthetic counseling (directive, Scripture-focused), integrative counseling (combining psychology and faith), Christian CBT (faith-adapted cognitive therapy), and inner healing prayer (addressing spiritual wounds).
