We are the Association of Christian Counselors (ACC), a division of the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists. The ACC was established in 2023 when it became evident that the presence of Christian counselors was increasing (thankfully in the various NACBT trainings and supervision programs. The ACC gives Christian counselors much greater freedom to share their faith, while focusing on counseling from a Biblical (God’s) perspective.
Our philosophy is summed up by our foundational passage:
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The ACC was founded by Dr. Aldo Pucci, who is president of the NACBT and Senior Pastor of Evangel Baptist Church in Weirton, WV ( http://www.OurBaptistChurch.com ). As Dr. Pucci has stated many times throughout the years, even though the rational self-counseling skills that he teaches are very powerful and based on Biblical principles, the very first thing that he does when confronted with problems small and large is to pray.
We provide training, supervision, and support. Â
All praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!
