Successful change usually includes one-on-one counseling to deal with the underlying emotional and spiritual causes of sexual temptation and behavior. To find helpful counseling, people need to give thoughtful consideration to their needs and resources, as well as discover what is available in their local area. Discernment and common sense should direct the choice of a counselor, making sure he or she is professionally qualified and duly licensed by the appropriate governmental authorities.

The Christian Broadcasting Network website has a helpful article called "Choosing a Christian Counselor," which spells out the various types of counseling options and the professional requirements for certification.
