Our counselors are trained and experienced Christian counselors with at least a Master’s or Doctorate Degree in a mental health-related field (i.e. Master’s in Counseling, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, etc.) In addition to their training as faith-based counselors, most are state-licensed mental health providers in the states they reside in. All our counselors are trained and supervised through our 2-Year post-graduate residency in Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling (NICC).

After you sign up, we will match you to an available counselor who fits your needs and preferences. Different counselors have different schedules, pricing, and availability. It’s important to find the right person for your situation. We have found that we are able to provide a successful match the first time most of the time. However, if you start your counseling and feel your therapist is not a good fit, you can seamlessly switch counselors at any time, at no extra cost.

Is MyCounselor.Online right for me?

1. Do you recognize a need for something to change in your life or relationship for you to fully THRIVE?
2. Are you committed to doing what is necessary to THRIVE?
3. Is your Christian faith important to you?
4. Is $220 a month too much to invest in your mental health and personal development?

MyCounselor.Online may be right for you if you’re looking to improve the quality of your life. Whenever there is anything that interferes with your joy or prevents you from achieving your goals, we may be able to help. We also have counselors who specialize in specific issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addictions, eating, sleeping, trauma, anger, family conflicts, sexual and gender identity, grief, spirituality, self-esteem, and more.

MyCounselor.Online is not the right solution for you if any of the following is true:

• You are in an urgent crisis or an emergency situation
• You were required to undergo therapy by a court order or by any other authority
• You do not have a device that can connect to the internet or you do not have a reliable internet connection

The average cost of counseling through MyCounselor.Online ranges from $220 to $390 per month and it is based on which counselor you choose to work with and how often you need to meet with them. Most clients see their counselor 2-3x a month. If you are facing an intense situation in your life, you may meet more frequently.  You can stop at any time, for any reason.

On a per session basis costs vary depending on the level of experience and expertise of the counselor you work with.

• Most Experienced – Advanced Practice: $195/per session
• Most Popular – Certified: $135/per session
• Most Affordable – Resident: $110/per session

The matching process can take a few hours or a few days, depending on your availability. You will choose a time to meet with a matching specialist and you will choose when you wish to meet with your counselor. Your first meeting with your counselor could be as soon as the same day you meet with your matching specialist depending on the availability of the counselor you choose.

You will meet with your counselor via secure, HIPAA compliant Zoom video conferencing. If you need to reschedule an appointment you can do so using the scheduling link in your appointment confirmation email or by contacting the receptionist team by phone or email.

The professionals who work through MyCounselor.Online are trained and credentialed counselors just like traditional in-person counselors. The only difference is you meet with them from the convenience of your couch.

This depends on your needs and varies a lot from one person to another. Some people feel they get most of the value after just a month or two while they are going through a life crisis, while others prefer to make it part of their ongoing personal development plan. This is completely up to you.

There are many studies that confirm the effectiveness of online counseling for making life changes. A few examples are:

• Online counseling: A narrative and critical review of the literature. Journal of Clinical Psychology.
• A comprehensive review and a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of internet-based psychotherapeutic interventions. Journal of Technology in Human Services.
• Online therapy: Review of relevant definitions, debates, and current empirical support. Journal of Clinical Psychology.

The confidence we have in our approach comes primarily from the feedback and testimonials we receive from our clients. Every day we are excited to hear from more people about the way our team has helped them THRIVE!
