Mental Health Therapist FAQs

What are the different types of therapy?

  • Cognitive therapy is a form of talk therapy focused on uncovering patterns in thoughts or behaviors that could be contributing to feelings of distress.
  • Behavioral therapy works to alter the ways in which you respond to certain situations and triggers that could be causing distress.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combines the powers of cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy to help you understand the relationship between how you think, feel and act, and how each influences one another.

What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist?

Psychologists have at least one degree (bachelors, masters and/or doctorate) in psychology and complete multiple years of supervised therapy practice to earn their licenses. “Therapist” is more of an umbrella term, including professionals who are trained (and may be licensed) to provide various forms of mental health treatment. Psychoanalysts, counselors and social workers may often be referred to as therapists.

How much is it to speak to a therapist?

The average cost of psychotherapy in the U.S. ranges from $100 to $200 per session, depending on your state and therapist. Most therapy providers bill with a per-session rate, but some practices and platforms provide therapy services for a monthly subscription fee.
