Find Faith-Based Healing with a Christian Counselor

Here I am, A Chicken Tender… get it? I enjoy “tending” to my backyard hens in my spare time.
Jane Perkins (that’s me!), I have been a counselor (LPC) who has been navigating the mental health maze for the past 27 years, and I offer action-oriented, faith-based biblical counseling online. Think of it as getting your emotional oil change with a spiritual tune-up. I opened my online office in 2023 to bring a biblical perspective to the mental health party – because let’s be honest, sometimes, “Tell me more about your inner child” or “How does this make you feel?” just doesn’t cut it. You don’t bring your feelings to a battlefield. Our trials and struggles result from a spiritual war requiring you to wear God’s armor and FiGHT. Our challenges are not merely mental; they are spiritual. And together, we WILL learn how to take action and be on the defense and the offense for our minds.
Why do I do what I do?
Before going off on my own, I worked as an Agency Counselor, and a powerful realization struck me: individuals grappling with mental health challenges often faced their struggles without God. It was apparent that the worry, fear, and panic were not merely a psychological response but a palpable spiritual battle against unseen forces. Depression transcended simple sadness, revealing a deep yearning within the soul for connection with the ultimate Comforter. My approach integrates sound clinical counseling strategies and truth with the transformative power of biblical teachings through Christian counseling, providing you with clarity on both the neurological (“Why is my brain doing this?”) and the spiritual (“How does God want me to handle this?”) dimensions of your experience.
I’m all about making sure you feel heard and valued.
That’s why I offer a free 20-minute consultation. Consider it a “meet and greet” where you can ask me questions and see if therapy with me resonates with your soul. There is no commitment, and there are no awkward goodbye hugs (it’s online, after all!).
- Ask any questions you may have about the services and approach.
- Discuss your specific needs and concerns in a confidential setting.
- Understand how the online Christian counseling process works.
- Determine if our services are the right fit for your journey toward healing.
Who Are My Clients?
I specialize in helping those who are seeking help with:
- Anxiety that feels like a runaway hamster wheel, panic attacks that make you think the rapture started without you,
- Compulsions that have you counting ceiling tiles at 3 AM,
- Depression that makes getting out of bed feel like scaling Mount Everest in flip-flops.
- Grief that feels like carrying a piano on your chest.
- Let’s not forget the tangled web of addictions, those sneaky habits that promise comfort but deliver chains.
- My heart also goes out to those navigating the complex emotions after an abortion, and I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for post-abortion consultation rooted in God’s grace and healing.
- Purpose: And if you’re staring at the ceiling wondering, ‘Okay, God, what’s the deal? What am I even supposed to be doing with this life?’ I’m here to help you navigate the journey of finding God’s purpose for your life.
Basically, the things that make life challenging, interesting, or a sitcom gone wrong—I guess it depends on how you look at it.
My goal? To guide you towards healing through the ultimate GPS: FAITH in the one who created us!
What’s in a Name?
The name “Are You Ready Counseling” isn’t just a random string of words. It reflects a core belief that even though counseling and faith-based support are available to all, the readiness to embrace help is a personal and crucial step. Like that last slice of pizza, but you gotta be ready to grab it. True change starts when you say, “Yep, I’m done with this mess, and I’m ready for God’s help.” And who’s my ultimate boss? Well, let’s say He has a pretty impressive track record and provided a book about his love, power, mercy, and instructions to find answers.
My Approach to Counseling Therapy: Integrating Faith and Clinical Expertise
Jane’s approach uniquely blends her extensive clinical expertise with the unwavering truth of biblical teachings. I know and have seen how God’s Word has provided profound insights and guidance for navigating life’s difficulties and achieving lasting emotional and spiritual restoration. My online counseling services offer:
- Biblical Perspective: Addressing your struggles through the lens of Scripture, offering scriptural insights, and applying God’s principles directly to your challenges.
- Professional Guidance: For 27 years, I have been a licensed professional counselor. I have provided clinically sound therapeutic techniques informed by my training and experience in mental health.
- Focus on Root Causes: We go beyond symptom management to explore the underlying issues contributing to your distress, helping you address these at their core through a faith-based approach.
Who’s In Charge?
God is the ultimate supervisor and executive director at Are You Ready Counseling, LLC. His wisdom and guidance are the foundation of good counseling. We are all in good hands as long as we are dedicated to partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring about genuine transformation in our lives.
Online Christian Counseling
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.

Reviews:
“Well worth my time and investment.” – Kelly S.
Jane is a real pro. She is kind and caring and was well worth my time and investment.
“Jane helped me to face my emotions of grief” – John B.
Losing my wife was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. I am a christian and believe in God but, I still struggled. Jane helped me to face my emotions of grief while she encouraged me to invite God to stand right next to me. Her guidance helped me with the grief in a way that kept my wife’s memory alive but also strengthened my relationship with God. The free consultation was good. It was the first step and I’m glad I signed up for counseling.
“Zeroed in on my issues…yet treated me with the utmost respect ” – David S.
Jane is awesome! I’ve had several therapists in my lifetime, all of them good, but she is by far the best. She zeroed in on my issues, kept my feet held to the fire with accountability, yet treated me with the utmost respect that is befitting a Christian ministering to a Christian. I highly recommend her counseling ministry to anyone!
