How online counseling works
- 1. Tell us what you need. Share your concerns, faith preferences, state, and availability.
- 2. Receive a thoughtful match. We consider fit and whether a counselor can serve clients in your state.
- 3. Meet online. Schedule a private video or phone session from a location that works for you.
Christian counseling by state
State guides explain how online counseling is served in the areas where we currently publish local information. Counselor availability still depends on licensure and fit.
