Kasie Lamme, M.A.C.

Biblical Counselor

Compassionate In-Person and Online Biblical Counseling for Anxiety, Grief, Depression, Relationship Struggles, Spiritual Questions, and Everyday Life Challenges.

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 find hope in Christ and learn to walk faithfully through the challenges of everyday life.I earned a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary. My counseling training was shaped by the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF), whose Christ-centered approach has deeply influenced how I understand people, suffering, relationships, and lasting change.For more than a decade, I have served in local church ministry through discipleship, mentoring, Bible study leadership, women's ministry, and personal counseling. I have walked alongside people facing anxiety, grief, relationship conflict, family challenges, spiritual questions, and struggles with sin.I believe every person's story is unique. Rather than offering quick answers or one-size-fits-all solutions, I seek to listen carefully and understand the circumstances, relationships, fears, desires, and experiences that shape each person's life. Together, we seek to understand those struggles in light of Scripture and pursue practical, faith-filled steps toward growth and change.My counseling is informed not only by formal training and ministry experience, but also by the ordinary joys and challenges of family life, caregiving, suffering, and my own walk with Christ. My husband serves as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America, and together we have spent many years serving Christ and His church. We have two children, and our home is also multi-generational as my elderly mother lives with us.Whether you are facing anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, discouragement, unwanted habits, suffering, or spiritual questions, I would be honored to walk alongside you as we seek the hope, wisdom, and grace that God provides.

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?

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.

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.

What are your rates?

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.

Do you accept insurance?

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.

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 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 20-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.

How do in-person sessions work?

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, "Lamme Biblical Counseling."

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.

How do virtual counseling sessions work?

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.

Whom do you counsel?

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.

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

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.

Is Biblical Counseling right for me?

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.
