FAITH-BASED COUNSELING, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
By combining Biblical wisdom with clinical expertise in mental health, our counselors do their best to invite God into the conversation through prayer while formulating actionable plans to best address the unique challenges their clients face. Our goal is to holistically improve clients’ well-being, so that they may become mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.
WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS?
The 150+ counselors of Faithful Counseling are a group of practicing Christians that are part of the larger network of licensed counselors operating on the Betterhelp platform, sharing the same high standards of clinical experience.
All counselors are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All have a Masters or Doctorate Degree in their field. They have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. While their experience, expertise, and background vary, they all possess at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience.
Additionally, every counselor has self-identified as a practicing Christian, shared their testimony with us prior to joining the platform, and has verified that their beliefs align with our Statement of Faith.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You and your counselor will be given a dedicated virtual "room", which will be your private and secure way of communicating. This room is open 24/7. You can enter it at any time, from any Internet-connected device wherever you are. In this room, you will write about yourself and the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. Your counselor will log in to the same room, read your messages, and respond with feedback, insights, and guidance. Your counselor will help you understand the circumstances that hold you back as they prepare you to move forward. This ongoing one-on-one dialog is the basis of your work with your counselor. You may also have phone or video based sessions with your counselor, facilitated through this app. Together you will build towards making a positive change in your life and accomplishing your goals.
HOW MANY SESSIONS CAN I HAVE?
You are not limited in the number of messages ("sessions") you can have with your counselor. The frequency of your sessions would vary based on your availability, and the interaction between you and your counselor. For example, some people have 3-4 short interactions every week, while others prefer to have one very long and thorough session. Your counselor would try to accommodate your changing needs in a timely manner.

It's helpful to have the conversation there as a text thread. It's also helpful to have other tabs with other information, such as group sessions. Overall, it's simple, visually aesthetic, and user-friendly. I have two small dislikes. One, if you press the back arrow (Android users) more than once, it takes you back to the login screen. Two, even though I log in, the notification in my status bar still shows, and needs to manually be dismissed.
The app needs work : it can be very quite over speaker when using the face calling feature. It also has quirks with the scheduling and writing features. It can be a bit counter intuitive to use - it feels like a 2010 app and not a 2018 one. It also does not support multiple screens or easy formating for uploading photos. Overall good - but awesome for the help it has brought me with my rough schedule. My therapist is awesome!
Been using the app and service for just over a month now and it's super convenient. I love that I can text my counselor anytime that I'm struggling with something or just having a thought I want to share. she doesn't respond immediately but usually within 24 hours and she's been very flexible about scheduling our live sessions. She also sends me a lot of resources or articles she thinks I"ll find helpful (and they are). Great for busy people like me!
Easy to use in terms of design, and the therapist I've been working with has already been so helpful. Definitely recommend!
I enjoy the therapist I was paired with. And how easy it is to use the app
Being in a rural area where access to care is very limited and at times challenging due to distances, this app is very helpful. My first counselor didn't respond hardly at all and cancelled sessions, but I asked for a new one and couldn't be happier. So if you don't like your first counselor just ask for a new one!
I installed the app because it sounds amazing in the about the app plus in the reviews. Well I did the survey 4 times and only got an email sent once and when I hit the link in the email to verify, I got a "no connection" error even though my wifi is obviously ON or I wouldn't be able to write this review. I need help from a Christian therapist, not more stress from an app that does not work!
My therapist goes beyond the counselor/patient relationship and makes me feel cared for. I really feel like she understands me. My first therapy experience was in person but this is way better and cheaper. It's nice to message her whenever I think of something, and she always responds on weekdays. Once a week 30 min sessions, and free Webinars offered by Better Help on topics like relationships and confidence. Also discounts for lower income. Try this out, it's well worth the money!
I have been so happy with my counselor. The whole experience has been helpful and when there were glitches (like they gave me a free week trial but my counselor wasnt available the first 3 days --- so they extended my trial period) the company was quick to respond and fixed the problem. Occasionally the video chat isnt great quality, but I have found it works better on my phone than my laptop for whatever reason. I reccomend this app/counseling system to ANYONE and EVERYONE!
I love my therapist. I love that I have a variety of ways to take to her and that I can reach out at any time and get support.
My therapist has been so wonderfully helping me work through a recent trauma. She has been fully supportive and present with me through this process and is flexible with my crazy schedule. I am so impressed with the service available through Faithful Counseling!
It's been great. Being able to share my journal entries with my counselor has been the best feature. The app on the phone and website work really well together and I haven't had any issues. I rate it 4 starts cause it still is quite expensive although I know counseling in general can be like that.
The app doesn't always work, like this afternoon. It says the page isn't available. It's not the actual site because it works on the computer but not on my phone. It's frustrating when this happens because I use it on my phone more than anywhere else. But as far as the counseling part, I really like it.
I love how helpful and accessible my counselor is. I don't have to wait for a week to talk to her. I can text with her anytime and get the help I need when I need it.
The app is straightforward. The service is great - I appreciate being able to write stuff to my counselor as I'm thinking about it/processing, or being able to just wait for our video session if my week is busy. The extra groupinars are interesting as well, though time zones have been a challenge.
This has been my first experience with counseling long distance through an app. But by far, Faithful Counseling, has been my best therapeutic experience and I have been through therapy many times in my life. I live in a small town with not much choice in therapy so I decided to try something different. I found Dr. Keith to be very articulate on the subject matter with which I was concerned. Not only smart but warm and caring! And even though we were not face to face,it did not hinder the process.
3 months in, I prefer Faithful platform/ app/website in every way! I have utilized online counseling since 2017 and decided to follow Christ in 2020. Faithful Counseling is better at prompting me to participate, with gentle reminders each day and no limit on how much I can share. This lets me feel supported when I most need it. My counselor can easily post helpful worksheets and there is a journal section which is great for when I dont have pen and paper !
It is a great use and with people who put forth effort to reach out. Counseling is not an easy thing as it deals with vulernability and sometimes shame, but when a counselor reaches out, it is a huge plus for a person to see that someone cares. The team bebind this be encouraged to endure throigh what im sure will be tough and long days, but it helps in ways you may never see.
The app is good. The only draw back is in aswering questions from the homework and having the program log you out before you get done. When you log back in you have to start over. I've learned to save often.
I love my counselor. It is so hard to find someone who looks at your life from a Christian perspective and not with worldly perspectives in regards to life choices. Lasting change needs God involved. I highly recommend this for the video chat feature plus any time text messaging with the counselor. There is a financial aid you can apply for to slightly lower the price as well. The app itself is bad for connecting via video chat. I would use the web instead if you can
My therapist was awesome, make sure to "shop" around for someone that gets you! The tools this app gives is great as well... Being able to text, call or video chat is great. They are also great at working with you financially.
This app is easy to navigate, your counsellor is just a text away. My counsellor offered great advice and I didn't have any problems except for time differences, as I'm in Japan and they're in the USA.
Faithful Counseling is the place to go for counseling! This app makes connecting so easy.
I like my therapist but the app itself could use some work. It would be helpful to be able to see my therapist's schedule while I have an appointment already scheduled so I don't have to cancel just to plan ahead or know if I can reschedule.
The app is easy to use and I found the quality to be good. I would recommend this app.
If you ever need help to get through the clutter in your head, get the help you need. This app is a perfect place to vent and not be judged, unlike social media. Where EVERYONE has their own opions. Thia app is great, if you allow yourself to open up, and let the counselors give you the help you need.
I find the app very user friendly and the service invaluable.
I found a therapist that was supportive and encouraging. I enjoy working with her. Overall, positive experience especially considering that the other ways to find therapist such as ZocDoc don't provide as great results. I was looking for a spiritual counselor sort of and my therapist is religious but she draws more from DBT/CBT than from spiritual beliefs, which I also highly favor. All in all it worked out for me.
