Wrestling with God’s Sovereignty and Fear of the Unknown
You believe God is in control, but you still feel anxious about the future, health, finances, children, etc.
The guilt and tension that this produces are too much to handle.
Just as you would turn to a trusted physician when your body is in pain, it’s equally vital to seek godly guidance when your heart and mind are in distress. Life brings emotional wounds, mental strain, and behavioral struggles that cannot always be resolved through worldly wisdom alone. A Christian biblical counselor who offers counsel based on Scripture approaches these issues with the truth of God’s Word, not just human insight. God’s Word brings clarity, comfort, and correction—healing that goes beyond symptoms and reaches the soul. Don’t neglect the profound, restorative wisdom of Scripture; your spiritual and emotional well-being deserves care rooted in God’s truth.
There is a Gap Between Psychology and a Christian Biblical Counselor
In a world saturated with mental health resources, the search for a counselor who truly integrates faith and clinical expertise can be challenging. Many Christians seek help to navigate a landscape where spiritual needs are often overlooked or minimized. There is a lack of biblically based outpatient counseling.
Jane Perkins identified this gap, which led to the opening of Are You Ready Counseling, LLC. She recognized the need for counselors who acknowledge and integrate biblical principles in therapy. Christians are underserved in the counseling profession. Jane is a Christian Biblical counsel to those seeking online outpatient therapy that truly honors Christians by acknowledging everyone’s need for God’s assistance. Biblical Christian counseling answers this need.
Secular psychology, despite its value, disregards this crucial dimension, hindering complete healing for those rooted in faith. Christians need to be counseled biblically by a Biblical counselor.
Seeking out a counselor is a sign of strength, not weakness. (Proverbs 11:14)

When You Believe God Is In Control… But You Still Feel Afraid
Seek out a Christian who can biblically counsel you
You know in your heart that God is in control. You trust His Word, you believe He’s good, and yet—you’re still lying awake at night. Worried about your health. Stressed about your children. Anxious over finances or the future. And that tension leaves you feeling ashamed, as if your fear means your faith is failing.
You’re not alone—and you’re not an evil Christian for wrestling with both belief and fear.
At Are You Ready Counseling, I walk alongside Christians who are struggling to reconcile God’s sovereignty with the weight of real-life anxiety. Together, we unpack that inner conflict, applying biblical truth in a way that brings clarity, peace, and lasting hope, not just more guilt.
If you’re ready for counsel that honors both your faith and your humanity, you’ve come to the right place.

A Christian Biblical Counselor:
Providing Nourishment Directly from Scripture
As Christians, we eagerly anticipate God’s presence when we invite Him into our troubles and trials. (Isaiah 30:18)
God designed you for connection; He did not create you to go through life alone. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
God utilizes anything that overwhelms you or affects your coping ability; He incorporates it into your spiritual journey. (Romans 8:27-28)
A Biblical counselor addresses root causes, provides holistic healing, and guides you through emotional, mental, behavioral, and relational issues. (Matthew 15:18-20)
Your identity and relationships directly influence your thoughts and responses to life events; your ability to change depends on whom you belong to. (Romans 14:7-8 & Ephesians 2:19)
Assisting you in rediscovering the Joy of a Grace-Filled Relationship with God
If your walk with God has started to feel more like a checklist than a relationship, I help Christians slow down, breathe deep, and return to joy-filled, grace-centered faith.
You’re reading the Bible. You’re praying. You’re checking all the “right” boxes.
But somewhere along the way, your walk with God has started to feel more like a routine than a relationship. The joy feels distant. The grace feels buried under pressure. And your heart is quietly asking… “Is this really what it’s supposed to feel like?”
If that’s you, take a deep breath. You’re not failing—you’re just weary.
At Are You Ready Counseling, I help Christians slow down, reconnect with God’s heart, and rediscover the beauty of grace-filled faith. Together, we’ll trade performance for presence, striving for stillness, and guilt for the kind of peace Jesus died to give you.
Let’s return to joy, one step at a time.

You may have concerns:
“Can a counselor truly help me through a phone or computer?”
- Healing from emotional pain requires both knowing and being known. True change occurs through relationships. Therapy provides a safe place to be understood when you feel isolated. It is a temporary space for learning, growth, and practicing new ways of thinking and living.
“Will you understand what I’m going through over a screen?”
- The first session focuses on listening. The beauty of being online is that facial expressions and posture are still very readable. I listen and observe too deeply to understand your unique struggles and their origins. Proverbs 18:13 states, “If one answers before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” I will listen first. Then, we will collaborate to chart the right course forward.
“Will I depend on a stranger forever?”
- I consider myself a solution-focused therapist. I do not want to draw your struggles out as much as you want to address them. However, the duration of therapy varies. Some experience relief after a few sessions; others take more support. The goal remains constant: to facilitate your growth and obtain peace. Christian counseling emphasizes deepening your relationship with God, applying His principles, and seeking His guidance to overcome life’s challenges.
“Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?”
- Let me assure you: it is. As a fully licensed and insurance-recognized therapist, I offer the same professional expertise and compassionate care online as I do in a traditional office setting. The only difference is the setting. Research consistently demonstrates that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. You will receive the same quality of care, dedication to your well-being, and integration of biblical wisdom, all from the comfort and convenience of your own space.
