What is the difference between a Christian counselor and a therapist? The main differences between therapists and Christian counselors are their education and practice approaches. Therapists usually have at least a master's degree and a state license to practice, but a Christian counselor may not need either.

Christian counselors incorporate faith values for clients who desire it, understand a Christian worldview, and are clinically trained. Alternatively, Biblical counselors typically have a degree from a Seminary or Bible College where they received extensive training in theology and God's word.

You can find Christian counselors on both BetterHelp and Faithful Counseling and may want to compare available therapists on both sites to see where you can find a better match.

I advise you that there is nothing wrong with seeking a therapist if you are going through a situation. Sometimes, we need more than just prayer; we need a partner to come alongside us and help us defeat the inner demons we might be facing in our lives. You are not sinning by seeking a therapist.
