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 Lauren
My personal and professional experience has created a passion to work with people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety, have experienced trauma, or need someone to help them see their worth as a child of God because they can’t see it in themselves. I want to walk with people who are in darkness and help them find light, because I know how scary it can be to feel alone in the dark.
My counseling experience has been working with children and teens who experienced complex trauma and then supporting the foster/ adoptive families who loved them. The focus of my work was building attachment, teaching emotional identification/ regulation (in both the children/teens and adults), and supporting them as they heal from trauma through safe relationships. Depression and anxiety were common themes and I am continually doing my own personal healing work in those areas, as well.
I feel like my biggest gift is that I can find something to like in every person I encounter, even if I have to look harder in some 🙂 I also spend a lot of time studying the Enneagram, which has taught me so many lessons about people (different motivations, ways of getting needs met, communication styles, desires, etc.).
