Frequently asked questions

Therapists.plus is a directory and matching service for cognitive and talk therapy — CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP for OCD, CPT and Prolonged Exposure for trauma, CBT-I for sleep, couples, family and child therapy, plus coaches and skills groups. It is an educational resource, not a medical provider.

CBT is a structured, skills-focused talk therapy that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors affect each other. It usually focuses on present-day concerns and practical skills used between sessions.

Start with what you’re experiencing rather than the name of a therapy. Answer a few optional questions and Therapists.plus shows licensed therapists who fit, with the reasons why. You choose who may contact you.

Yes. Reading the guides and getting matched are free. Therapists set their own fees; many profiles show prices, insurance and sliding-scale options.

Licensed therapists list their license type and state and are reviewed before a verified badge shows. Online therapy is matched only with therapists licensed for your state. Coaches and groups are labeled separately and are not therapy.

Cognitive therapy works from the mind down, through thoughts and behaviors; somatic practice works from the body up, through sensation, breath and the nervous system. Many people use both — our sponsor Somatic Experiences covers the body-based side.

Therapists.plus is not an emergency service. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.
