  • 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.

What Life Problems Can Christian Counseling Help With?

The Christian counselors at Thriveworks Alexandria, VA (Franconia) will look at your unique needs before designing your treatment plan. That said, they will incorporate effective counseling techniques as well as your Christian faith and scripture into your Christian counseling experience. Here are a few problems a Christian counselor can help you address:

  1. Mental illness, such as depression: Depression is ruthless. In addition to despair, depression can come with a loss of interest in once beloved activities, changes in weight and appetite, sleep disturbances, lack of motivation, and other harmful symptoms. The good news that we can offer is that a Christian counselor can help you to work through your depression (or another mental illness) and learn to better manage it.
  2. Self-esteem: Another common problem that many of us deal with is a low self-esteem. Self-esteem refers to the sense of value one sees in him or herself. When an individual has a low self-esteem, they’re at a heightened risk of entering a depressive state, isolating themselves from others, and suffering in other ways too. Therefore, it’s important to seek out self-esteem help as soon as possible. A Christian counselor at Thriveworks Alexandria (Franconia) can help you to look at why you have a low self-esteem and how you can build that back up.
  3. Relationship issues: We all struggle with relationship issues, whether they are with our significant other, family members, or friends. These issues can range from parenting problems to jealousy, infidelity, financial disagreements, or mere differences in opinion. In any case, it can be difficult to navigate these challenges and keep your relationships intact. If you need help working through a relationship issue, the Christian counselors at Thriveworks Alexandria (Franconia) have got you covered.

My therapist, Beatrice is so wonderful. It's almost like talking to a good friend, I respect her she's a fantastic listener to the point where she remember everybody's name in the conversation and I just can't believe I found such a highly professional therapist. I recommend everyone if they're looking for therapist to look into having Beatrice your therapist.
