[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are more lesser-trained therapists than there used to be in the past. It used to be a good number of PhDs or at least masters’ - now it’s almost all LPCs. Not that there aren’t any good LPCs - it’s just more variable. And they have much less training.[/quote] LPCs have master's degrees in counseling. The amount of training isn't the issue, though. I've had excellent therapists who were pre-licensed (supervisees in social work) and horrible ones who were PhDs with decades on experience. The research shows that the connection you have with the therapist is a much bigger prediction of success in therapy than the person's degree or years of experience. It can take a lot of time to find the right person. OP, I don't blame you for being frustrated! I agree with the suggestions to ask your therapist friends for referrals.[/quote]
