Most counseling could be short-term. All counseling should be practical.
If you're facing a difficult season, you're not alone. There is help available through God and his people - and one of the forms that can take is counseling.
Far from the popular image of a person on a couch talking into the air, while a shrink strokes his or her chin, takes notes, and says "See you next week," biblical counseling can help bring real clarity and change to a tough situation.
