That could be a bigger problem, but all of my therapists have been Christians but none of them brought religion into my sessions unless I brought it up first.
I have more of a problem with outright Christian counsellors than people with private beliefs. However, many Christians would see my main problem as being an atheist. If I am not "saved" that person may see me as doomed until my religious status changed. I have looked up some therapists that were not Christian counsellors per se but touted it on their profiles or websites. If it was a friend or coworker I take no issue with their beliefs as long as it does not impinge on the rights and happiness of others. I need someone from a worldview that is not alien to mine.
