Standard talk therapy can be used to assess a client's needs in many situations as an individual or as a couple.
Christian Counseling
Providing that the client finds it acceptable, therapy will touch on Christian therapy. Jim believes that when a person places emphasis on being concerned about others more than themself, they feel better about themself. Jim believes that this is Biblical teaching insomuch as God loves each and every one of us and wants a relationship with us. Jim also believes that most unhappiness occurs when a person is struggling with relationship issues. Although many people tend to associate happiness with health and wealth, the very wealthy can be and often are unhappy. Relationships are pleasing to God. Our relationships with God can make us happy, as our relationships with others.
Marriage Counseling
Marriage and couples therapy includes standard text talk therapy, can touch on Christian therapy as described above (providing the clients find that acceptable), teaching communication and anger management skills, getting in touch with “facts, feelings, and needs,” recognizing that happiness comes from a positive relationship and has a model to illustrate that.
