Starting Christian counseling

What is Christian counseling?

Christian counseling in Pittsburgh 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.

She listens. No judgement. She's very insightful and honest. She has opened my eyes. Its comforting to talk with her. She holds me accountable. She has taken the time to understand. She provides really great advice.

The only thing I miss is being in person--which I know isn't possible given where each of us lives.

I appreciate how well the Thriveworks team matched me with my provider and cared about the things that were important to me! I'm really enjoying therapy and feel that the online format is a perfect fit for me right now.

I thoroughly believe that Thriveworks has NOTHING to do with my experience. Sorry, not sorry. Because my experience is tied to the individual who is providing me with the talk therapy. If Thriveworks was the accredited educational institution of which my therapist recieved their degree from on psychology, then I would say that Thriveworks is doing an amazing job. So in saying that, I CAN say that Thriveworks is doing a great job on their recruitment of excellent therapists, or at least, in my case of Holly Blass. I feel like my life and experiences are truly benefiting from my sessions with Holly Blass.

The ease of finding a therapist (specifically the ability to filter by specialty) and then scheduling online was excellent. The councilors I've dealt with so far (for individual and couples therapy) have been responsive, accommodating, and very helpful - even before the intake session.

The person who was assigned to me has been helping me with my issue, we are still early in our visits but she has giving me several good things to help me along and I'm sure that I'm not even close to being fully helped so my insights are only sadly on 3 visits. But she is helping me.
