There are several common obstacles that might prevent moms from attending counseling:

  • Time Constraints: Busy schedules with work, parenting, and household responsibilities can make it challenging to find time for counseling sessions.
  • Financial Concerns: Counseling can be expensive, and some moms might struggle with the cost or lack of insurance coverage.
  • Stigma: There may be a stigma associated with seeking mental health support, leading to feelings of shame or judgment.
  • Lack of Access: Limited availability of counselors or services in certain areas can be a barrier, especially in rural or underserved communities.
  • Self-Doubt: Some moms might question whether their issues are significant enough to warrant counseling or feel that they should be able to manage on their own.
  • Childcare Issues: Finding suitable childcare during counseling appointments can be a challenge, especially if support systems are limited.
  • Fear of Vulnerability: Opening up about personal struggles can be intimidating, and the fear of being vulnerable or judged might hold some back.

Addressing these challenges often requires finding flexible solutions, such as online counseling, and support from friends and family. Christian Mom Counseling offers online counseling for moms and provides a flexible schedule with the ability to participate in counseling from the comfort of your own home, eliminating the need for childcare and travel time. There will never be a better time to pursue counseling. Prioritize healing for both yourself and the health of your family.

Considering Tele-therapy?

Christian Mom Counseling provides professional counseling via virtual teletherapy for women located in the state of North Carolina. We utilize real-time video to have sessions with women all over the state of NC. There are multiple reasons why and here are a few:

  1. As a mom of three, I understand the difficulty of scheduling and making time for myself. I’ve found that many other mothers who are in the early childhood stage of motherhood find scheduling online sessions easier and more feasible. Save time on travel and sitters and schedule online.
  2. You can attend your session even if you are sick without the risk of exposing anyone else!
  3. It’s a good option if you live in a remote area that makes finding a counselor close to you difficult.
  4. My primary specialty is faith-based Christian Counseling. That being said, many of my clients have commented on their inability to find counselors who claim to be Christian and include faith as a major part of the client’s healing and recovery.
  5. Virtual Counseling is here to stay and studies have shown that in many cases tele-therapy can be equally as effective. You will always hear me recommend in person interpersonal connections (family, friends, church, small groups, and other forms of deep relationships with others) but online counseling can provide many of the same advantages of in-person counseling.
