Therapists, or psychotherapists, apply psychological theories and practices to help patients develop emotional or cognitive skills and reduce negative psychological symptoms. They must be certified and have a relevant graduate degree in order to practice.

Psychiatrists diagnose serious mental or emotional conditions/illnesses, prescribe appropriate medications, and monitor the effects of medications and therapies. They can administer psychotherapy and brain stimulation therapies in addition to prescribing medications.

The term counselor is often used as a catch-all phrase for therapists, career counselors, life coaches, and even psychiatrists. In this sense, it’s true that therapists and psychiatrists are also counselors. However, there is a difference between a mental health counselor and a career counselor. The former is essentially a therapist but would need to have a master’s degree and be certified to practice. A career counselor focuses on helping an individual identify, pursue, or change careers. They would not address serious emotional and mental issues the way a therapist/psychiatrist does.

Earning a psychology degree online is a great option for students that need greater flexibility or cannot attend in person. Forty-five core credits in psychology are required to graduate.
