A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

Counseling for mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, is very effective and many people benefit greatly from meeting with a licensed professional therapist to improve the quality of their lives. For some people, the combination of medication management with counseling has proven to be helpful.
