Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Virginia Beach is a form of faith-based counseling that utilizes psychological and spiritual techniques to guide and support. Often, Christian counselors often incorporate prayer and scripture-reading into treatment to help practicing Christians work through their challenges.

How does Christian counseling work?

Christian counseling works by focusing on themes of hope and healing through one’s faith. At Thriveworks, your Christian counselor will discuss Christian values and relate them to your unique struggles. You can expect to discuss the following with them:

  • Your Christian identity
  • Your relationship with God
  • What the bible says about your current challenges
  • How you can overcome your struggles in a way that aligns with your faith
  • How to channel your religion in a way that helps you heal

Is Christian counseling conducted in person or online?

Christian counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Christian counseling last?

Christian counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.

Christian Counseling in Virginia Beach, VA—Counselors, Therapists, and Coaches

Faith plays a big role in life for a lot of people and having good faith is very important. Sometimes our faith may waiver and we can get lost on our spiritual journey. No matter how much we pray, if we go to church every Sunday, or if we read the bible every night before we go to bed, you can still fall off track. For a lot of people, this may feel shameful or embarrassing. However, there’s no need to! If you are wanting to grow your relationship with God, get guidance in your faith, or receive support for the obstacles you are facing in life, try Christian Counseling.

Just like Romans 8:38-39, there is nothing that can stop us from having a relationship with God. Although some days it may be harder than others, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. For all of life’s trials and tribulations, a little extra support and guidance can help. At Thriveworks Virginia Beach Counseling, our Christian counselors can provide you with that extra encouragement and assistance to tackle whatever you may be going through. Are you ready to feel closer to God? Do you need some guidance through the challenges you are facing? Reach out to us today (757) 317-4315.

What Is Christian Counseling?

Christian counseling is a service we provide our clients that combines the traditional methods of psychology with the practices of Christianity. At Thriveworks Virginia Beach, we understand how important religion is to our clients. That is why we take a holistic approach to care by looking at all aspects of human life: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Once you have decided to work with a Christian coach, they will sit down with you to discuss what areas of concern you may have. In doing so, your coach can create a customized plan of action to tackle the areas you need help with. Some of the different methods they will then use in your therapy sessions include:

  1. Scripture: The bible has so many different lessons and teachings within it. Our counselors will pull different lessons that can be applied to your unique situation. In doing so, you can discuss how the lesson can help you and also learn the different ways you can ask God for help.
  2. Prayer: One of the foundational rocks to religion is prayer. We use prayer to ask for forgiveness, assistance, and to thank Christ for the gifts he has bestowed upon us. During your sessions, you and your Christian coach will use prayer for these three pillars.
  3. Education: For people who are struggling in their faith or just simply want to know how they can strengthen it, education can be a great tool. We will help you learn more about Christianity and how it can be used throughout life. In addition, we can help you find groups and communities that you can get more involved in if you choose.
  4. Traditional Psychology: There are so many different methods and resources within traditional counseling techniques. Your counselor will use a variety of psychological methods to guide you through the challenges you have and help connect with you on a deeper, more meaningful level.
