Kasie Lamme, M.A.C.

Biblical counseling is a form of intensive discipleship that applies the truth of Scripture to the struggles, suffering, sin, and challenges of everyday life. I believe God's Word provides wisdom, comfort, hope, and direction for the human heart and helps believers grow in faith and obedience to Christ.

Biblical counseling is rooted in the conviction that God speaks through His Word and that lasting change ultimately comes through a relationship with Christ. While many forms of therapy draw primarily from psychological theories, biblical counseling seeks to understand people through the lens of Scripture while carefully considering the realities of suffering, relationships, physical health, and life circumstances.

No. I recognize that God created us as both physical and spiritual beings. Physical illness, brain chemistry, trauma, sleep, and other bodily factors can significantly affect our thoughts, emotions, and daily lives.

While my counseling focuses primarily on spiritual care and biblical application, I take physical realities seriously and encourage appropriate medical evaluation and treatment when needed.

Not at all. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and beliefs and seek to treat every person with dignity and respect.

However, because I practice biblical counseling, my guidance and counsel are rooted in Scripture and the Christian faith.

The first session is a relaxed conversation designed to help us get to know one another. We will discuss what brings you to counseling, your personal history, your current concerns, and your goals for our time together.

This initial meeting also gives you an opportunity to ask questions and determine whether my counseling approach is a good fit for your needs.

Counseling sessions are conversational and practical. Together we will discuss the challenges you are facing, explore relevant biblical truths, pray when appropriate, and consider specific ways to apply God's Word in daily life.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary. In seminary, my counseling classes were administered by Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF), a leading biblical counseling ministry that emphasizes applying Scripture thoughtfully and sensitively to the suffering and sin struggles of everyday life. In addition to my graduate training, I have spent many years serving in local church ministry through discipleship, Bible study leadership, mentoring, and pastoral care.

No. I am not a licensed mental health counselor, therapist, psychologist, or social worker. Although I hold a master's degree in counseling, I provide biblical counseling and discipleship rather than clinical mental health treatment.

I do not diagnose mental health disorders, prescribe medication, provide psychotherapy, or offer services that require professional licensure.

Our standard and intake session rates are based on the length of the appointment:

• Individual Sessions: $80 for a standard 50-minute session ($120 for the initial 80-minute intake session).
• Marriage & Couples Sessions: $130 for a standard 80-minute session ($165 for the initial 110-minute intake session).

Extended sessions are also available if you need more time. For a full list of options and to schedule, please visit our Book Now page.

No. Because I do not provide mental health diagnoses, I do not accept insurance or submit claims for reimbursement. However, I do reserve a limited number of schedule slots for a reduced-fee sliding scale.

I believe biblical counseling should be accessible to every Christian. To ensure cost isn't a barrier to receiving care, my standard rates are already kept below typical private-pay fees.

However, if you are experiencing genuine financial strain, I do reserve a limited number of schedule slots for a reduced-fee sliding scale. Please let me know during your free 15-minute consultation call, and we can discuss a sustainable rate that fits your household budget.

If those slots are full and you require additional financial assistance, I encourage you to check if your church can help sponsor your sessions, or feel free to submit this Counseling Assistance Request Form.

My office is hosted inside Fair Hill Church in Elkton, Maryland. Here is what to expect when you arrive:

Parking & Entry: You can park in the main lot or on the street. Head to the main entrance, which has three sets of double doors. Please enter through the doors on the far right.

Where to Go: My office is located directly off the main lobby. You will see a sign on my door that says, "Kasie Lamme, Biblical Counselor."

Checking In: There is no need to check in with church staff. Simply take a seat in the lobby, and I will come out to meet you at our scheduled session time.

Arriving Early: If you arrive more than 10 minutes early, the exterior doors may still be locked. If they are, please feel free to wait in your car—I will unlock the doors and open the lobby a few minutes before our scheduled start time.

All sessions are conducted online through Google Meet, using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video connection. When you book a session, a private video link will be automatically generated and emailed to you in your appointment confirmation.

To prepare, you will just need a reliable internet connection, a device with a working camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space where you can speak freely without interruption.

I counsel youth and adults, including individuals and married couples.

If you are seeking counseling for your child, please start by scheduling a free consultation. This helps us discuss their specific situation and ensure I am the right fit for their needs.

While my physical office is in Elkton, MD, I am able to work with clients across state lines. Because biblical counseling is pastoral and ministry-focused rather than state-licensed, our online sessions are not restricted by geographic boundaries. You can receive care from the comfort and convenience of your own home, no matter where you live.

Your privacy is my absolute priority. Because this is a private-pay biblical counseling ministry and I do not process health insurance, this practice technically falls outside of federal HIPAA mandates. However, I voluntarily choose to protect your information with strict security measures.

Our actual video counseling sessions are completely confidential and conducted over a fully HIPAA-compliant, secure version of Google Meet. For general administrative tasks like online scheduling and intake forms, I use standard, high-level digital encryption to ensure your data remains safe, private, and secure.
