"For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world...I am the bread of life." (John 6:33,48)
Is it true that Jesus - who is the Word of God and the bread of life - gives those who choose to follow him everything they need to live a life pleasing to God and loving towards others? Is is true that the Holy Spirit provides all the power needed to live a life pleasing to the Lord?
"Christian" psychology or counseling is religious peoples attempt to try and 'help' other respectors of religion with their world-centered beliefs, dressed up in biblical words and phrases and calling it all "christ-centered". "Christian" psychologists and counselors simply mix humanistic philosophies with the some of the truth in the scripture. Of course, they would never admit to their primary beliefs being humanistic, for they believe themselves to be both biblical and uniquely enlightened "experts" and "professionals".
The false, self-centered beliefs of that which call's itself "Christian Psychology" are ensnaring most people who participate in christianity. The religious system's leaders are entirely embracing the philosophies of christain psychology and are thus hastening both the nullification of Jesus' teachings and thus deepening the deception of the people who submit to them.

You're right, but in my opinion, no true believer (Christian) relies on psychology. Psychology and Christiany doesn't mix. There's a conflict when one tries to have both. Psychology teaches to look within yourself, while Christianity teaches to look to Christ. If you're a Christian, trying to use Psychology, then it's like you're telling the Lord that what He's done on the cross is not enough. So they feel they got to add something else to it. Jesus's work was a complete work. When He said, "it is finished" that's what He meant. If one is not a christian, why would he go to a christian psychologist?

Christian psychology is a pointless and potentially harmful practice, but not for any of the reasons you've put forward.
