Therapists focus on talk therapy and may hold titles such as licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or marriage and family therapist (MFT). Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. On Headway, you can find both therapists and prescribing providers to match your needs.
