About Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy — also called talk therapy — is treatment provided by a licensed clinician through structured conversation. It's used for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and a wide range of other mental health concerns. Most patients in psychotherapy don't need medication; for those who do, talk therapy and medication are typically more effective combined than either alone.
Sessions usually run 45 to 60 minutes, weekly to start, with frequency adjusted based on need. Modalities vary widely — cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and many others — and a good therapist will tailor approach to the patient and concern. Initial sessions focus on understanding history and goals; ongoing work depends on the modality and what's surfacing.
Insurance coverage for psychotherapy is broad. Most commercial plans, Medicare, and Medicaid cover sessions with in-network providers; many therapists also offer sliding-scale fees or out-of-network superbills. Telehealth therapy is widely available and clinically equivalent to in-person care for most conditions.
Clinics in our directory include solo private practices, group practices, and integrated mental health centers offering therapy alongside psychiatric care.
