Biblical counseling is different from medical, psychiatric counseling. Biblical counseling is explicitly religious and faith-based in nature, and should be thought of as life advisement or coaching. There are therapies available to the trained counseling M.D. that no Biblical counselor can use. The doctor and the pastor/counselor should work together. The Biblical counselor functions more like a chaplain, guiding the counselee to see how life-principles from the Bible shed light on his troubles, and how faith in Scriptural wisdom can emotionally promote strength and soundness of mind.
