Kasie Lammé, M.A.C.

Biblical Counselor

About ME

I believe meaningful change is possible because God meets us in both our suffering and our sin with grace, truth, and steadfast love. My desire is to provide compassionate, thoughtful, and practical biblical counseling that helps people grow in faith, find hope in Christ, and learn to walk faithfully through the challenges of everyday life.

Education & Training

I earned a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA and a Master of Arts in Counseling (M.A.C.) from Westminster Theological Seminary in 2015. Westminster's counseling program was developed in close partnership with CCEF (the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation), whose Christ-centered approach has deeply shaped how I understand people, suffering, sin, relationships, and the process of lasting change.

MINISTRY & COUNSELING EXPERIENCE

For more than a decade, my primary ministry has been in the local church. I have served through discipleship, Bible study leadership, mentoring, women's ministry, and personal counseling, walking alongside people through seasons of suffering, anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, family challenges, spiritual questions, and sin struggles.While much of my ministry experience has focused on women, I also counsel men and married couples. It is a privilege to help people apply the wisdom and hope of God's Word to the realities of everyday life.

MY APPROACH TO COUNSELING

Every person has a unique story, and every struggle is shaped by a combination of circumstances, relationships, desires, fears, strengths, weaknesses, sin etc. For that reason, I seek to listen carefully and thoughtfully before offering counsel. I want to understand not only what is happening in your life, but also how those experiences are affecting your relationship with God and others.I believe that the Bible speaks meaningfully to the real struggles people face. Biblical counseling is not about offering simplistic answers or quick fixes. Rather, it seeks to bring the wisdom, comfort, and hope of God's Word to bear on the complexities of everyday life.In counseling, we will explore both the hardships you are experiencing and the ways you are responding to them. Together, we will seek to understand your circumstances in light of Scripture, identify areas where God is at work, and pursue practical, faith-filled steps toward growth and change.My goal is not simply to help you solve problems, but to help you know Christ more deeply in the midst of them. Whether you are facing suffering, relational conflict, anxiety, grief, discouragement, unwanted habits, or spiritual struggles, I desire to walk alongside you as we seek the hope, wisdom, and transforming grace that God provides.

LIFE & FAMILY

My counseling is informed not only by formal education and ministry experience, but also by the ordinary joys and challenges of family life, caregiving, suffering, and my own walk with Christ.My husband is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), and together we have spent many years serving Christ and His church. We have two children who keep our days full of energy, laughter, and countless opportunities to grow in patience, humility, and grace.Our home is also multi-generational, as my elderly mother lives with us. Caring for her and walking with her through the challenges of aging and grief has given me a deeper appreciation for the burdens many individuals and families carry.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, family challenges, spiritual questions, or sin struggles, my desire is to help you bring God's Word to bear on the realities of your life. Together, we will seek to understand your circumstances in light of Scripture and find hope, wisdom, and encouragement in Christ.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is biblical counseling?

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.

How is biblical counseling different from traditional therapy?

Traditional therapy often approaches problems primarily through psychological theories and methods. Biblical counseling begins with the conviction that God speaks authoritatively through His Word and that lasting change comes through the transforming work of Christ.

In counseling, I seek to understand both the circumstances you face and the condition of your heart, helping you apply biblical truth in practical ways that bring hope, wisdom, and spiritual growth.

Do you ignore physical health, trauma, or medical concerns?

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.

Do I have to be a Christian to receive counseling?

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.

What can I expect during the first session?

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.

What can I expect in a typical counseling session?

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.

What are your qualifications?

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.

Are you a licensed professional counselor?

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.

Do you accept insurance?

No. Because I do not provide mental health diagnoses or clinical treatment, I do not accept insurance or submit claims for reimbursement.

Do you offer discounted rates?

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 well below typical private-pay fees. Because these rates are already minimized, I am unable to offer further discounts at this time.

If 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.

How do virtual counseling sessions work?

All sessions are conducted online through Upheal, a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Prior to your appointment, you will receive a private link by email.

You simply need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera, and a quiet, private place where we can meet without interruption.

Whom do you counsel?

I currently counsel adults, including individuals and married couples. At this time, I do not counsel children or teenagers.

Because sessions are conducted virtually, I am able to meet with people in many locations from the comfort of their own homes.

Are my counseling sessions and records confidential and HIPAA-compliant?

Yes, in practice! Because I do private-pay biblical counseling and do not process health insurance, I technically fall outside of federal HIPAA mandates. However, your privacy is priority. I voluntarily protect all counselee data, intake forms, and scheduling records using a secure, HIPAA-compliant digital infrastructure so that your information remains completely private and safe.

Is online Biblical Counseling right for me?

Online Biblical Counseling may be a good fit if you desire Christ-centered guidance rooted in Scripture and are seeking help with concerns such as:

  • Anxiety and worry
  • Relationship struggles
  • Marriage challenges
  • Parenting concerns
  • Grief and loss
  • Anger and conflict
  • Spiritual struggles
  • Life transitions
  • Suffering and hardship
  • Habitual sins and personal growth

Biblical counseling may not be the best fit if you are seeking psychiatric care, clinical mental health treatment, court-ordered counseling, or crisis intervention.

If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, thoughts of harming others, a psychiatric emergency, or another immediate crisis, please contact 911, a local emergency service, or an appropriate crisis resource right away.

Informed Consent & Counseling Agreement

I. INTRODUCTION & BIBLICAL FRAMEWORKWelcome to Lamme Biblical Counseling. I am honored to walk alongside you. My ministry approach is rooted entirely in biblical counseling, which views the trials, relationships, and emotional struggles of life through the lens of God's Word.You do not need to identify as a Christian to receive care here, but please understand that the principles found in the Bible will serve as my foundational guide. I hold that Scripture is the ultimate, authoritative standard for faith, conduct, and soul care. If you have any questions about this approach at any point during our time together, I welcome you to discuss them openly with me.II. DESCRIPTION OF CARE & NON-LICENSURE DISCLOSURELamme Biblical Counseling provides strictly non-clinical, pastoral care. While I hold specific theological and counseling credentials, all care provided through this ministry is non-clinical and spiritual in nature.I do not offer professional clinical therapy, psychological testing, or psychiatric medical treatment. My services are an exercise of my religious beliefs and ministry convictions. If your situation requires specialized clinical diagnostics, medical attention, or psychiatric stabilization, I will gladly encourage you to secure those services from appropriate professionals alongside my biblical discipleship.III. SCOPE OF VIRTUAL PASTORAL CARE AND EXCLUSIONSLamme Biblical Counseling operates strictly as an online, non-clinical pastoral ministry. Because I am a solo practitioner providing remote care, my services are designed for individuals seeking spiritual growth and biblical discipleship. My virtual practice is not equipped to provide crisis intervention, clinical stabilization, or forensic legal documentation.By agreeing to these terms on the scheduling portal, you certify that you understand I am unable to provide care if any of the following conditions are true, and you agree to seek appropriate localized care instead:Active Harm or Crisis: You are experiencing active thoughts of hurting yourself or others, or you are in an urgent psychiatric crisis or life-threatening emergency.Severe Clinical Diagnoses: You have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness or psychiatric condition that requires ongoing psychological supervision, specialized medical treatment, or localized psychiatric stabilization.Court Mandates & Legal Proceedings: You are seeking counseling to fulfill a court order, family court proceeding, child custody dispute, or criminal probation mandate. I do not provide progress reports, compliance records, or evaluations for legal use, and you explicitly agree not to subpoena my records or request my testimony in any secular legal proceeding.Technology Requirements: You do not have a stable, reliable internet connection or a private, quiet, and secure space free of distractions to conduct online video sessions.If any of these conditions become true during the course of our counseling relationship, I reserve the right to immediately pause or terminate services and refer you to emergency services, localized clinical professionals, or your local church elders to ensure your safety.IV. THE LOCAL CHURCH & ECCLESIASTICAL PARTNERSHIPI believe that sanctification and deep emotional healing happen best within the context of a local Christian community. Therefore, Lamme Biblical Counseling functions in partnership with—not in isolation from—the local church.By agreeing to these terms, you consent to allow me to communicate with your pastor, elders, or small group leaders regarding your care if I deem it necessary for your long-term spiritual accountability, protection, and corporate church care (pursuant to the restorative principles in Matthew 18:15-17).Please be assured that I will always communicate with you directly before making any contact with your church leaders. This partnership will never be done as a surprise to you; my goal is to walk transparently alongside you and engage your church as a unified team for your long-term care.If you do not currently have a local church home, I will actively work with you to help you find and engage with a local gospel-centered congregation.V. FEES & FINANCIAL POLICYBy scheduling a session, you acknowledge and agree to the current fee schedule for Lamme Biblical Counseling as listed on my website and online booking portal. You authorize me to process payment for the full session amount at the time of booking or at the conclusion of each scheduled appointment.Because my counseling services are strictly biblical and pastoral rather than medical or clinical, I do not accept health insurance, nor do I provide clinical diagnostic codes or insurance 'superbills.' All payments are strictly out-of-pocket as an investment in your personal spiritual care.You explicitly agree that if you miss a scheduled session or cancel/reschedule with less than 24 hours' notice, your card on file will be automatically charged the full fee of that reserved session. This policy is applied uniformly to respect my schedule and protect the time slot reserved for your care.VI. CONFIDENTIALITY & SCRIPTURAL EXCEPTIONSI treat the details of your life with profound respect and discretion. Guarding your trust is a matter of Christian love and ethical stewardship (Proverbs 11:13). However, biblical confidentiality is never absolute. There are specific, narrow circumstances where scriptural obligations, safety protocols, or civil laws require me to share information outside of our sessions:Safety and Mandated Reporting: If there is reasonable suspicion or disclosure of physical/sexual abuse, neglect, or exploitation involving a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult.Imminent Harm: If a counselee expresses clear, active intent to end their own life or inflict severe bodily harm upon another person, I will intervene to ensure safety by notifying family members, local church leaders, or crisis responders.Peer Consultation: To ensure the highest biblical standards of wisdom, I may occasionally review case details anonymously with trusted, senior biblical counseling peers or professional ministry mentors. Your identity, name, and distinguishing personal characteristics will remain strictly protected and entirely confidential during these peer reviews.Ministry Communications: I may occasionally contact you regarding training resources, spiritual literature, or ministry updates. You may opt out of these specific administrative communications at any time by notifying me in writing.VII. MANAGING DUAL RELATIONSHIPSIn close-knit church communities or local ministry circles, "dual relationships" occur when a counselor and a client interact in settings outside of counseling sessions (such as attending the same church, social events, or community groups).Dual relationships are often unavoidable and can even enhance community care. However, I am committed to ensuring these overlaps never compromise your care or my objectivity. Counseling will never involve romantic or exploitative contact of any kind. It is your responsibility to inform me immediately if an overlapping social relationship becomes uncomfortable for you, so we can address it gently or transition your care if necessary.VIII. 24-HOUR CANCELLATION POLICYWhen you schedule a session, that specific block of time is reserved exclusively for you, and other individuals in need of care are turned away.All scheduling adjustments, cancellations, or slot modifications must be finalized through the administrative booking system at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.If you fail to provide a 24-hour notice or miss your appointment entirely, your payment card on file will be automatically charged the full fee of the reserved session.This policy is applied uniformly to respect my schedule and to keep my calendar open for those experiencing sudden crises.IX. PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT & RIGHT TO DISCONTINUELamme Biblical Counseling reserves the right to suspend or terminate counseling services if an environment is created that is persistently hostile, volatile, or emotionally unsafe for me. Prior to any discontinuation of services, I will make an effort to address the behavioral barriers with the goal of biblical reconciliation. However, I remain firmly committed to maintaining a constructive, peaceful, and respectful environment for both my clients and myself.X. CRITICAL EMERGENCIES BETWEEN SESSIONSI cannot provide 24/7 crisis monitoring. In the event of a severe psychological crisis, panic, or life-threatening emergency between scheduled sessions, do not wait for a response from me. Please immediately dial 911, contact a national crisis lifeline, or report directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.XI. SCRIPTURAL RESOLUTION OF DISPUTESPlease read this section carefully, as it affects your legal rights. By agreeing to these terms in the booking portal, you agree to waive your right to a trial by jury in a civil court.Believing that the Bible explicitly commands Christians to resolve their personal and structural differences internally rather than through secular civil litigation (1 Corinthians 6:1-8), you agree that any dispute, legal claim, or disagreement arising out of our counseling relationship will be settled strictly through Christian conciliation.This process requires a mutual, good-faith commitment to mediation and, if a resolution cannot be reached, legally binding arbitration. Both stages will be facilitated according to the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation established by the Institute for Christian Conciliation. The decision of the arbitrator is final and binding, and both parties explicitly waive their right to pursue civil litigation or jury trials in state or federal courts, except to formally enforce an arbitration ruling.XII. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENTBy checking the agreement box on the scheduling page, you certify that you have read this document completely, clearly understand the non-clinical, biblical framework of Lamme Biblical Counseling, and voluntarily agree to enter into care under these exact terms.
