With rapid changes in society, the psychological problems experienced by modern society are becoming more and more serious, both quantitatively and qualitatively. This is also experienced by Christians. Counseling is needed as one way to deal with this psychological problem. There are at least three types of counseling approaches that Christians can choose, namely psychological counseling, christian counseling and biblical counseling. The main purpose of this study is to use the Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric analysis to examine: 1) what uniqueness each counseling method has; 2) how it has developed; 3) whether there are blind spots that experts in each field cannot see through comparison. According to the research findings, each counseling technique has been developed through a similar process despite different perspectives. Although biblical counseling was designed later than other counseling techniques, all three techniques have passed the theoretical development stage and are currently undergoing clinical trials. It is hoped that an objective comparison of their effectiveness can be obtained.
