What is Biblical Counseling? What’s the difference between that and secular or even christian counseling? Who should govern what counselors can and cannot say in the counseling room? Why “biblical counseling” when there’s a whole field of licensed professional counselors who seemingly want to help people? 


What standard do we use for helping people seek and find peace? 


All this and more in my conversation with Ursla McCarthy, an ACBC certified counselor who attends the same church as I do. Ursla has a Masters in Biblical Counseling and a Bachelors degree in Psychology. She changed directions with her psychology degree after beginning to practice counseling in the prison system and realizing it was not effective for helping people truly change.
