Virtual Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling Online
You do not have to choose between clinical care and faith. Our certified Christian counselors are trained in evidence-based methods and understand how your beliefs shape your mental and emotional life.
Our approach
How Edifi approaches online counseling
01
Certified and credentialed
Edifi counselors hold AACC, ACBC, or equivalent certifications. Many also hold state clinical licenses (LMFT, LCSW, LPC). Faith commitment does not replace professional training — it accompanies it.
02
Faith-integrated, not faith-imposed
Your counselor works with your beliefs, not around them. If faith is not central to how you process life, that is respected and accommodated.
03
Evidence-based methods
CBT, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and other validated approaches — delivered through the lens of your whole person, including the spiritual dimensions your care cannot ignore.
04
Fully virtual, fully private
Sessions run on encrypted video. No waiting room, no commute, and no one at your church, family, or office needs to know you are in counseling unless you choose to tell them.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- Is online Christian counseling effective?
- Yes. Meta-analyses consistently find that online counseling produces outcomes equivalent to in-person sessions for most conditions, including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Therapeutic relationship and counselor quality matter more than the delivery format.
- How is Edifi different from BetterHelp or Talkspace?
- Edifi specifically matches clients with certified counselors who hold genuine faith commitments — not counselors who are willing to accommodate religion on request. The faith is built into the counselor's training and orientation, not added as a filter.
- Do I need to be a Christian to use Edifi?
- No. Our counselors work with clients across the spectrum of belief. What distinguishes Edifi is the training and orientation of our counselors, not a requirement that clients share their faith.
- What conditions do your counselors work with?
- Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, marriage struggles, spiritual crises, church hurt, and general life transitions. For conditions requiring medication management, we can connect you with appropriate providers.
- Is Christian counseling online covered by insurance?
- Some Edifi counselors are in-network with major insurance plans. Telehealth coverage has expanded significantly. Check individual counselor profiles for your specific plan details.
