The Wonderful Counselor model utilizes the narrative of Jesus and the woman at the well to introduce four steps adapted from the research of Larry Crabb for helping guide those struggling with mental health issues. This includes redeeming methods described in Guy Brewer's METAMORPH Grid to deal with the rejection, misunderstanding, and, misapplication of God's truth. The model utilizes the attributes of God's omniscience in helping care seekers understand who they are, His omnipresence in dealing with where they are in their spiritual journey, and His omnipotence in helping solve the problems encountered on this spiritual journey. Four themes described in the research of David Entwistle have been tailored to a conceptual framework called the Structure of Biblical Change from the research of David Powlison and the synthesis of the six stages of change from the research of Prochaska and Norcross to explain the goals, functions, roles of the caregiver in this model.
