Answer by Melissa
therapy and counseling are essentially the same. it all depends on which type of therapy you chose. A psychologist has a Phd in philosophy, a licensed clinical social worker does not but has certification from the country or state. Both conduct therapy, but a psychologist can assess and evaluate. A psychiatrist treats mental disorders through medication (a psychologist or lcsw can not).
