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 Sarah
There are so many struggles and attacks on our identities and lives, but Jesus wants us to live our lives to the fullest. In order to obey that desire we need to fight the fears of life together. This way we can strive towards healing and freedom in Christ.
As an avid reader and writing coach, I noticed in stories we follow characters that need to face seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but through the process we root for them as they learn and transform in order to face the ultimate battle. Life is a story, and whether you feel like it or not at times you are the Main Character.
People face obstacles or suffer from trauma that they need to overcome everyday. Like those characters in our stories, you need someone to come alongside you, and that is where I come in. A counseling relationship can help re-envision or re-write your story, giving you new meaning and understanding.
I love to work with women! Women grappling with being wives and mothers, or just women who are struggling to find themselves within their roles in life.
More than that I believe that marriage is the deepest of relationships, and has the most potential for pain. So I am honored when I get to work with couples that are looking for premarital counseling, or ones that are looking to heal and reconnect in their marriage.
I have a heart for individuals that are rebuilding their lives post-divorce. Or maybe it is an individual struggling with issues of anxiety or depression.
I want to create a safe space where you feel accepted and understood. I want to sit with you and process your story and take steps toward healing and wholeness.

Getting to the root issues Sarah has helped me to connect dots between the teachings and messages I learned in childhood and the behaviors and thought patterns I want to change in my adulthood in a way that is helping bring about healing and power to change. She has also given me great book recommendations and exercises to do between sessions that have helped the healing process.

Sarah W. has really helped me. She listens and gives feedback that is honest. We all need honesty from someone and when you’re being open with your counselor that honesty is much needed. Her voice is always calm and assuring. She has helped me a lot over the past few months.
