FAITH-BASED COUNSELING, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
By combining Biblical wisdom with clinical expertise in mental health, our counselors do their best to invite God into the conversation through prayer while formulating actionable plans to best address the unique challenges their clients face. Our goal is to holistically improve clients’ well-being, so that they may become mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.
WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS?
The thousands of counselors of Faithful Counseling are a group of practicing Christians that are part of the larger network of licensed counselors operating on the Betterhelp platform, sharing the same high standards of clinical experience.
All counselors are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All have a Masters or Doctorate Degree in their field. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. While their experience, expertise, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience.
Additionally, every counselor has self-identified as a practicing Christian, shared their testimony with us prior to joining the platform, and has verified that their beliefs align with our Statement of Faith.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You and your counselor will be given a dedicated virtual "room", which will be your private and secure way of communicating. This room is open 24/7. You can enter it at any time, from any Internet-connected device wherever you are. In this room, you will write about yourself and the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. Your counselor will log in to the same room, read your messages, and respond with feedback, insights, and guidance. Your counselor will help you understand the circumstances that hold you back as they prepare you to move forward. This ongoing one-on-one dialog is the basis of your work with your counselor. You may also have phone or video based sessions with your counselor, facilitated through this app. Together you will build towards making a positive change in your life and accomplishing your goals.
HOW MANY SESSIONS CAN I HAVE?
You are not limited in the number of messages ("sessions") you can have with your counselor. The frequency of your sessions would vary based on your availability, and the interaction between you and your counselor. For example, some people have 3-4 short interactions every week, while others prefer to have one very long and thorough session. Your counselor would try to accommodate your changing needs in a timely manner.

Ratings and Reviews

3 ★ I like my therapist but the app itself could use some work. It would be helpful to be able to see my therapist's schedule while I have an appointment already scheduled so I don't have to cancel just to plan ahead or know if I can reschedule.
5 ★ I think it is a very helpful way to talk with someone who is well prepared. Of course it depends on what counselor you'll get. But you can switch to another one with no issues.
2 ★ Some stars as the app was nice and user friendly. 0 stars as the therapists were too secular for a Christian counselor-even after specifying i wanted both faith and evidence based(they're not mutually exclusive?). I am getting married soon and one told me out of the blue that I may be fine, or might end up divorcing him soon after, for *any* reason, and that's okay.. As if that is a totally standard plan B for born again Christians. Weirdly un Biblical.
4 ★ Been using the app and service for just over a month now and it's super convenient. I love that I can text my counselor anytime that I'm struggling with something or just having a thought I want to share. she doesn't respond immediately but usually within 24 hours and she's been very flexible about scheduling our live sessions. She also sends me a lot of resources or articles she thinks I"ll find helpful (and they are). Great for busy people like me!
4 ★ The app needs work : it can be very quite over speaker when using the face calling feature. It also has quirks with the scheduling and writing features. It can be a bit counter intuitive to use - it feels like a 2010 app and not a 2018 one. It also does not support multiple screens or easy formating for uploading photos. Overall good - but awesome for the help it has brought me with my rough schedule. My therapist is awesome!
5 ★ What a wonderful app and service that far exceeded my expectations! I can text my counselor anytime and he responds daily and sometimes more. He's flexible in scheduling in person video chats once a week which are 30 minutes long. He helps with goals and motivation. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who needs someone to talk to. I signed up after having relationship issues when... trying to let go of my ex girlfriend.
4 ★ It's helpful to have the conversation there as a text thread. It's also helpful to have other tabs with other information, such as group sessions. Overall, it's simple, visually aesthetic, and user-friendly. I have two small dislikes. One, if you press the back arrow (Android users) more than once, it takes you back to the login screen. Two, even though I log in, the notification in my status bar still shows, and needs to manually be dismissed.
5 ★ I have been so happy with my counselor. The whole experience has been helpful and when there were glitches (like they gave me a free week trial but my counselor wasnt available the first 3 days --- so they extended my trial period) the company was quick to respond and fixed the problem. Occasionally the video chat isnt great quality, but I have found it works better on my phone than my laptop for whatever reason. I reccomend this app/counseling system to ANYONE and EVERYONE!
5 ★ This has been my first experience with counseling long distance through an app. But by far, Faithful Counseling, has been my best therapeutic experience and I have been through therapy many times in my life. I live in a small town with not much choice in therapy so I decided to try something different. I found Dr. Keith to be very articulate on the subject matter with which I was concerned. Not only smart but warm and caring! And even though we were not face to face,it did not hinder the process.
1 ★ I installed the app because it sounds amazing in the about the app plus in the reviews. Well I did the survey 4 times and only got an email sent once and when I hit the link in the email to verify, I got a "no connection" error even though my wifi is obviously ON or I wouldn't be able to write this review. I need help from a Christian therapist, not more stress from an app that does not work!
3 ★ Phone calls crash every 15 minutes or so, but the app works well and I am enjoying the sessions.
5 ★ I like it. It is easy to message if I prefer that to calling.
5 ★ It is a great use and with people who put forth effort to reach out. Counseling is not an easy thing as it deals with vulernability and sometimes shame, but when a counselor reaches out, it is a huge plus for a person to see that someone cares. The team bebind this be encouraged to endure throigh what im sure will be tough and long days, but it helps in ways you may never see.
4 ★ no the app isn't perfect. I'm a college student and make very little money on a weekly basis to fill up my gas tank and pay my bills. I wanted counseling but I didn't want to verbally tell someone my feelings. I agreed to clean my moms house 4 hours a week just to pay for the counseling. If you think you need the help, God will provide. Help yourself.
5 ★ Being in a rural area where access to care is very limited and at times challenging due to distances, this app is very helpful. My first counselor didn't respond hardly at all and cancelled sessions, but I asked for a new one and couldn't be happier. So if you don't like your first counselor just ask for a new one!
