Christian Counseling in Manassas, VA—Counselors and Therapists
Having strong faith and upholding Christian values can oftentimes be difficult. Why is that? Imagine: You practice good faith daily, always remember to pray before a meal or when you go to bed, and when times get difficult, you easily come up with a plan of action by listening to God. If only it was that easy! Life gets busy and sometimes you forget to spend alone time with your faith to reconnect. That’s okay though, you are not alone.
Every day you need to get a full dose of the Word and meditate on scripture, and if you discipline yourself and remain consistent, your faith will grow and mature, and remember that God, the Word, and your faith is a recipe for success. – Stephanie Williams
When you start to waiver from your spiritual path, whether it be from lack of time or struggling with something in your personal life, it’s important to remember that it is never too late to pick up where you left off. In times of need, crisis, or life changes, looking to God for help is a large part of Christianity. Luckily, Thriveworks Manassas Counseling offers Christian counseling services to help you along your journey with Christ and through times of need. If you are ready to strengthen your relationship with God and make meaningful progress with your mental wellbeing, call (571) 589-3907 to schedule an appointment with one of our Christian coaches.
How Does Christian Counseling Work?
Much like traditional counseling or therapy, Christian counseling aims to support you through any mental health challenges you may be facing. However, much like the name implies, working with a Christian counselor means that you will work with someone who shares your same desire to walk with Christ, grow your faith, and turn to Him when times get tough.
During your session with a Christian coach, a series of assessments will be taken to better understand what your needs, goals, and concerns are. Your counselor will then use the assessment to come up with a unique plan of action that is specific to what you would like to achieve. Additionally, they will combine the practices of Christianity and the principles of psychology for a holistic approach to care. Here at Thriveworks Manassas Counseling, we understand how important it is to not just treat the person, but the mind and spirit as well.
When you are ready to start working with a Christian counselor in Prince William County, a variety of methods may be used including:
- Reading scripture: To practice good Christianity, it is important to understand and learn from the lessons presented to us in the bible. During your sessions with a counselor, you may read different scriptures and learn how to imply the lessons to the challenges you are facing in your personal life.
- Prayer: It is essential to use prayer in your daily life. Your coach will help guide you during prayer and give you the tools to better craft how you speak to God.
- Therapeutic tools: We can only grow so much in our faith when our mental health isn’t at its best. That’s why our counselors will work with you to give you the skillset you need to overcome your challenges in life. These tools may include how to manage stress, how to communicate better, and how to ask for help from your family, friends, and church when you need it.
There are so many different ways a Christian counselor can help you during your sessions aside from these three. As we mentioned before, your time with us will be uniquely crafted to meet your needs on a level that you can understand and relate to. Our goal is to help you strengthen your faith, however it best works for you.
Am I a Good Candidate for Christian Coaching?
Consider these questions: Do you wish your faith was stronger? Do you feel like you don’t know how to communicate with God? Are you struggling with something in your personal life that you need help with? If you answered yes to any of these questions, or feel like you can relate to these feelings, you may greatly benefit from Christian counseling. We can help you through many different areas including:
- Marital or relationship issues
- Grief and loss
- Mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), and more
- Feeling lost in your spiritual journey
- Insomnia and other sleep disorders
- Low self-esteem

- Unhappiness with your career
These are just a few of the areas we can help. There are so many different challenges we face through life so we must remember we don’t have to do it alone.

Barbara Darby, LPC
Barbara Darby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and holds a Masters of Science in Psychology from Nova Southeastern University. I have over 16 years of counseling experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I approach therapy using methods and techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, EMDR, Mindfulness Based Interventions, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I believe counseling is a partnership to help you heal, change, and grow. This partnership is built on mutual trust and respect. My role is to provide a comfortable, safe, confidential place for us to meet, to bring the best of my professional training, and to listen to you with an open mind and open heart. I specialize in many different life challenges including life-transitions, career changes, anxiety, depression, spiritual problems, co-dependency, trauma, and addictions. I also enjoy working with military personnel, veterans and their families, as I am a military spouse myself and a veteran. I believe that counseling is a joint effort that involves both the training of the counselor and work with commitment on the part of the client. I also offer Supervision services to Residents in Professional Counseling who are working towards licensure in the state of Virginia.
