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.

A Note from Mary
It is an honor to be part of others’ journeys to discover their identity in Christ, new peace, hope and healing. I started out as a social worker for 9 years while I was working as part of our church team, a replant of our local church in our area, with my church family of 18+ years. I loved partnering the journey of faith and growth in every-day life with those in my community and found my passion to support healthy growth and healing especially for those in ministry and organizational leadership in the unique challenges and changes they face.
Because of this I find it a privilege to work alongside individuals who are navigating the different stages of life. I see premarital and experienced couples, new parents, ministers, and even single or “single again” ladies. I like to partner with those individuals and couples as they look for clarity in purpose and find healing from wounds from the past.
Some underlying issues that most of my clients are grappling with are depression, fear and anxiety, as well as the feelings of being “stuck,” “alone,” or “broken.” from those past traumas, pains or addictive patterns. Whatever the issue, if it is hindering your effectiveness in work, leadership, relationships, and ministry I believe we can work together to overcome, and equip you with powerful tools and rediscover and rebuild your healthy sustainable life rhythms with joy and compassion.
I believe in the deep healing that comes from the transforming love of God, and if you are taking the courageous step of pursuing personal healing then I want to be there with you. Your life has unique gifts and purpose. I want to see you grow and to celebrate with you as you engage your calling and purpose, both in your relationships with your loved ones and in your work in the world around you. I believe you have what it takes.

Great listener, fully present I absolutely love working with Mary. She’s really helped me a lot by being present and listening actively. She doesn’t push me too hard, but still helps me grow and learn. She handles trauma care with a very gentle touch.

Mary has been very helpful and personable. She’s a great listener. It’s safe to go deep with her and pull out things emotionally that I have never dealt with. Now we can deal with them together and a very productive way.

My experience has been amazing. She is able to help me bring awareness to my mind and whole body in order to pinpoint exactly what I’m feeling and why. I feel a level of comfortability with her that I haven’t with any other counselor that I’ve had. She just super nice overall which is a big reason why I have the courage to keep coming back.
