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.

There is no biblical evidence that therapy is indeed against the law of Jesus Christ. There is enough evidence to support fellowship even if it is in the form of therapy. There are many different types of therapy such as coaching, Christian counseling, or family therapy just to name a few.

Some key aspects that define Christian counseling include: Focus on the whole person – mind, body, and spirit: Christian counselors address mental, emotional, behavioral, relational, and spiritual components of wellness. They consider how a client's faith impacts their mental health.

A Christian counselling approach encourages individuals to explore their spirituality and faith to overcome challenges and find hope and meaning through social, emotional, mental, spiritual and cultural engagement with the gospel.
