What may Online Christian Counseling look like for you as a Christian?
Are you interested in getting Online Christian Counseling?
Have you been considering counseling but may have feelings of uncertainty come up for you about how to start? Maybe you are also a Christian and you are wanting to find a therapist that can incorporate your beliefs and values into your sessions. You may also have a busy schedule and may need to have counseling services online as that would be the most convenient.
The Right Therapist Will be There For You
Making the decision to start counseling may bring up a lot of questions for you. It may seem daunting as well. It’s important to understand that the right therapist fit for you will be there with you and help answer any and all questions that you have about the counseling process. Below is a list of possible questions and answers you may have about starting Online Christian Counseling with your therapist at Inward Counseling.
How might my session be structured if it's online instead of in person?
Each therapist has a unique way of structuring their sessions. When it comes to being online there may be some extra considerations that they would discuss with you when starting therapy. Usually, the first session consists of gathering information about your past history and what you would like from the therapy process. When you receive Online Christian Counseling, your therapist may also confirm your location with you and ask if the space you are in is confidential. They do this for your safety as it is online. If you have this question it would also be important for you to ask your therapist what to expect from sessions with them moving forward after the first session. Your therapist should meet you where you are at in your therapy journey and work with you to develop a structure that works for you.
How can I bring up to my therapist that I would like to incorporate my faith into my therapeutic process?
During the first session with your therapist, your therapist may ask you if you have any spiritual or religious affiliations. That would be the best time to bring up if you are Christian and that you would like to incorporate that into your sessions. If your therapist in any way feels like they would not be the best fit for you and your needs, they will let you know. If it isn’t the right fit, your therapist should provide you with references to other therapists in the area that can help incorporate Christianity into sessions.
Am I missing out on not having an in-person therapy experience?
There are both advantages and disadvantages to Online Christian Counseling. Online Counseling has been proven to be just as effective as in-person treatment. One disadvantage includes not being able to fully read body language through online therapy as well as in person. However, there is the advantage of convenience in it for you as the client. As the client, you would be able to get access to therapy services if you have a busy schedule through online therapy. With online therapy, there also wouldn’t be a commute to get to the therapy office. It is really your preference for want in person or online and your therapist will accommodate whatever works best for you.
