What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

Should I Consider Online Psychiatry?
Psychiatry is a field of medicine that looks at mental health disorders from both a mental and physical perspective.
Psychiatrists are medical school graduates who go on to complete a psychiatry residency, meaning they are highly qualified to evaluate and treat symptoms associated with mental health disorders of all kinds. In addition to prescribing medications, they can also administer various forms of talk therapy, including psychotherapy, exposure therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Coping strategies and self-care recommendations are also common. If you’re interested in seeing what a licensed psychiatric professional can do for you, make an online appointment today with Thriveworks Counseling in Cary, NC.
