Online Counseling

Online counseling services are available at Texas Christian Counseling for individual, group, and family sessions. If you struggle with anxiety and fear, meeting a counselor online may make you more comfortable than traveling to a brick-and-mortar office. Those with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and the fear of contamination and germs appreciate having access to their counselor from their computer.

Traveling may not be an option if you work from home or have a busy family life. Being able to meet your counselor online takes away that barrier. Depending on the situation and your particular counselor, you may also participate in check-ins by email or text.

Knowing that you have a licensed mental health care provider at your fingertips and access to evidence-backed methods is a relief when everything else seems out of control. You can build a professional relationship with your counselor as you work together to accomplish goals.

When you sign up with a counselor at Texas Christian Counseling, you have access to a professional specializing in your needs. These are confidential sessions. Depending on your situation, you may have one to three weekly sessions for a few months.

For example, clients may meet with their counselor weekly for 20 weeks. Or, they may meet three times a week for a few weeks, then twice a week for a few weeks, then keep a once-a-week check-in until the client can manage the condition independently.

Each individual’s personality differs, and not every mental condition is the same for everyone. Your counselor will personalize a mental health care plan for you.

Below is a list of standard online counseling services that Texas Christian Counseling offers. If you do not see something on the list, contact our office. We help people struggling in every area of their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual lives.

• Abandonment and Neglect: Adults and children can become traumatized when people they love leave or neglect their physical and emotional needs. This can lead to trust issues later.
• Anger Management: Uncontrollable anger and rage can ruin relationships and make it challenging to keep a job. Learning anger management strategies can help get your life back on track.
• Aging and Geriatric Issues: The second half of our lives come with new challenges, especially as we plan for retirement. Knowing your options and how to stay mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy can make these transitions easier.
• Anxiety: Anxiety and fear come in many forms, potentially stopping you in your tracks, personally and professionally. Your counselor can show you ways to manage your stress and anxiety.
• Bipolar Disorder: The depressive states and manic episodes of Bipolar Disorder can cause problems in your relationships and job. Pulling yourself out of these phases is not easy and requires professional therapy.
• Codependency: Unhealthy relationships can leave us sad, unappreciated, and empty. If you rely too much on your significant other or feel like your loved one is suffocating you, reach out to a counselor about codependency.
• Depression: Depression can last for weeks or months. You may experience pervasive sadness in response to a trauma or grief, or depression may slowly descend because of chemical imbalance or genetics. Managing depression symptoms can help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
• Eating Disorders: Deadly if not caught in time, eating disorders can destroy your physical and emotional health. Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating require therapy to change the thoughts and emotions preceding the compulsive behaviors.
• Grief and Loss: The death of a loved one or relationship can place us in the grieving process. Unfortunately, we can become stuck in the process as grief begins to affect every area of our lives. Counseling can identify where you are in the process and help you move forward.
• Infidelity and Affairs: Extramarital affairs destroy trust. It is difficult to recover from an affair and restore the relationship without professional help and reliance on God. A counselor can mediate and suggest how to rebuild trust and the relationship.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: There are several categories of OCD, but they all share the link between obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Counseling works to change those thoughts and emotions. With this mindset shift, new thoughts change the behavior.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Experiencing or witnessing trauma will leave lasting impressions deep in your psyche. Triggers can set off uncontrollable reactions out of fear. PTSD can develop in anyone at any time. Counseling can introduce strategies to manage the disorder.
• Sex and Pornography Addiction: Just as extramarital affairs can destroy a relationship, the risky behavior of sex addiction and the compulsiveness of pornography can also lead to relationship loss, emotional turmoil, and physical illness. Counselors help people manage these compulsive behaviors and addictions.
• Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse from childhood or adulthood can lower your self-esteem and confidence. It can also be at the root of other mental disorders. Learning to move past the hurt takes implementing strategies. You can rest knowing that your counseling sessions are private and confidential.
• Trauma: Counselors treat people with trauma from various sources. Whether abuse, neglect, sudden tragedy, a natural disaster, or an accident, your counselor can help you begin acknowledging and working through the trauma to lead a full life.

Online counseling services also work with people struggling with addictions like alcohol, chemical dependence, gambling, shopping, shoplifting, and more. Call our office today to discuss your specific situation.

We cannot do anything lasting in our own strength. We may be able to fix a problem temporarily, but eventually, our willpower and motivation will wane. The temptations and thoughts will return.

Turning to God and following His lead during rough times means relying on His strength and mercy. You accept the resources God has provided, work toward overcoming your struggles and allow God to manage the rest. This takes great faith, but the more you lean into Him, your faith will grow. It is this confidence that we can be sure of when we are struggling to hold it together.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. – Hebrews 11:1, NIV

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” – Mark 5:36, NIV

Our faith in God and belief in Jesus can unlock doors to freedom from our struggles. It will not be easy, but God provides everything you need to overcome them. You may need someone to point those resources out to you, but they are within your grasp.

But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. – Galatians 3:22, NIV

Christian online counseling services at Texas Christian Counseling address the mental condition, the struggle, the addiction, and the relationship problems. It also addresses the most important thing: your spiritual growth. Your relationship with Jesus Christ can pull you out of even the deepest pit. Put your trust in Him and do the work you need to find freedom.
