Counselor Competency
Counselors with the training, supervision, and experience to know how to help.
MyCounselor.Online has as its aim to be the gold standard in faith-based mental health. Our counselors are required to have undergraduate studies in theology, practical ministry, or psychology and have completed a graduate (master’s) degree in mental health (professional counseling, clinical social work, marriage & family therapy, etc.).
- We only hire around 2% of applicants
- Require at least a Master’s Degree in Mental Health
- 2-Year Post-Graduate Residency in Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC)
- 400+ hours of Continuing Education each year
After submitting an application package that includes transcripts, references, and video responses to a structured interview, qualified candidates are invited into a multi-stage interview process. During the process candidates will meet with clinical supervisors, perform a mock therapy session, and participate in a training with the MyCounselor.Online clinical team. If advanced from the final interview with the Director of Clinical Services, candidates are offered a position on the clinical team and matriculated into the MyCounselor.Online residency.
During residency counselors complete multiple rotations of clinical training and experience with specific populations, including individuals, couples, families, and teens. Specifically, residents are trained in the MyCounselor.Online proprietary model of care: Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC) as applied in practice with various presenting issues.
The thorough training our counselors receive in a broad array of specialized rotations equips them to address counseling concerns ranging from the common to the complex.

The Proof
A Note from Greg
I truly believe that The Lord will never tempt us beyond what we can withstand and although it may feel helpless, together we can walk through the darkness to a place of light once more.
I have multiple years of experience in the field of addiction counseling. I have implemented new tools and solutions to help clients succeed in long term recovery.
My passion extends beyond clients with addiction, to those suffering from mental health diagnoses. I feel fulfilled when working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, multi-personality disorder and many others that someone may be going through.
I am also passionate about working with couples and those looking to go through premarital counseling. When working with couples, my goal is to provide a safe and neutral space that empowers each person to
identify how their individual experiences impact their relationship with one another.
My life’s calling is to walk alongside individuals as they explore their thoughts and emotions and celebrate with them as they discover who God created them to be.
It can be hard doing fellowship with your spouse or others when there are kids in the household. As a father and husband myself, I know there’s a need to find time for each other but also balance the needs of the household and it can get overwhelming. I want to come alongside you and offer support.
Testimonials
Using video chat to talk to my Counselor is brilliant, I was a bit uneasy about this option at first. Now I like being in my surroundings and having the privacy to talk freely.

They made the process so simple and our daughter loved the ability to talk to someone on her phone from the comfort of her room.
