Are you looking at the Undergraduate or Graduate level?
Amberton has a graduate Specialization in Christian Counseling. You can find information here:
https://www.amberton.edu/programs-and-co...eling.html
Their tuition is $795 per 3 hour course and there are 4 classes required.
Liberty has an online Graduate level Pastoral Counseling Certification, but the tuition is $615 per hour part time. There are 3 classes in the certificate. Here is info:

This isn't counseling but Johnson University has a fairly inexpensive online Christian Ministries Cert at both the Undergraduate and Graduate Levels. Tuition is $2K for the cert at both levels and the Undergraduate Cert has 15 hours and the Grad Cert has 9. Information is on their website:

I would recommend taking up a course of Clinical Pastoral Education at a health system in your locale. Earning a unit of CPE will be much more affordable and useful than any online certificate.

Can you explain what this is and how I make contact? Thank you.

I'd agree about a unit of CPE, but it's usually fully face to face (B&M). Sometimes you can find a hybrid CPE, but I think there are only a handful of those across the country.
You'd call or email them. Some might have websites with info, but I found a bunch just have contact info.

Totally off the subject, but I see you have FEMA credit - and TESU hasn't taken that for credit in a while, so just wanted you to know that it won't count.

If you truly want biblical counseling, then I highly recommend ACBC
https://biblicalcounseling.com. They have a certification process with online training. I went through the training Jan-March and it was very well done. I'm not pursuing the certification, so I'm not completing the other steps, but I greatly benefited from the online training.
