There is often confusion with these roles because we all kind of do the same stuff more or less. The way I look at it is as "Therapist" is the job title, but what you studied and got your education in is your trade. I would recommend anyone that is interested in getting into one of these helping professions, to really look into the differences to see which works for you. Also, talk to people (if available) that are in the profession to see how it aligns with the way you want to help. I am technically a Therapist in my job, but I am a social worker by trade. I am currently working in a school setting so I deal with children and the difficulties they face in an educationally related aspect. But as a social worker, I can also treat individuals who have "heavy" diagnoses as Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), and I have in the past. I think maybe in the future it could be cool to look at the breakdown of each type of therapist (LMFTs, LCSW, PsyDs, and Clinical Psychologist) what is the same and different. Anyways, good information Renae! Proud of you!! :)

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! I was trying to do a BROAD overview, but there are so much overlapping in all the mental health fields! That's a great idea! I will add it to the list 💕

[@LisComedyShow]

I was curious what a MFT was because I didn’t immediately recognise the term and my brain went “it must mean you’re a MOTHER F*CKING THERAPIST” and I guess it’s not entirely wrong😂

[@RenaesCorner]

hahahaha!!! you are not wrong :)

[@bellajomello4378]

Thank you for posting this video! I was so confused with the titles since I know they could be similar at times. You're the best!!

[@RenaesCorner]

Thank you so much for watching!! 💕💕

[@kaylan9547]

I'm a master's level therapist (LMHC) and one of my very first cases (as an intern!) was a woman with a schizophrenia dx. At the master's level, there really is not any difference compared to the doctorate level regarding access to the populations one might want to work with. If all one wants to pursue is therapy, the master's track just make the most sense in so many ways. But, as you mentioned, if research, teaching, etc is a goal, the PhD makes more sense. Obviously, the main difference is education/training, as phd programs are longer and more intense. That being said, experience is really one's best teacher! Lol!

[@RenaesCorner]

That's absolutely true! Like the aspect of doing therapy at the Masters and Doctoral level are pretty similar!

[@kemidauda2201]

Thank for this video and your entire channel to be very honest! I'm approaching my senior year in college and recently learned about PsyD programs. I'm honestly still a bit confused since therapists and psychologists almost are identical titles. Also, from a comment I read below, the title therapist can apply to so many different professions. Nonetheless, I really appreciate your channel and videos. It is extremely hard to find content on clinical psychology programs, especially PsyD programs

[@RenaesCorner]

Thank you so much for your comment! There is SOOO MUCHHH overlap in the field!! 💕

[@watcherwlc53]

It can make sense to regard therapist as a job title, and that job can be filled by people with several types of credentials, including clinical or counseling psychologists. To be a psychologist one must have the PhD or PsyD in some field of psychology. Some people who study research psychology only or organizational psychology only may not have clinical training and may not have the right credential to be a therapist. Definitely can all be very overlapping and confusing.

[@janeelizabxth]

Wow I just started in psychology and this video rly helped!! Tysm💕

[@RenaesCorner]

Oh awesome!! Thank you for watching!

[@lashondahaywood6157]

I'm glad you mentioned assessments. I really want to do assessments. So I will continue thinking about pursuing my doctorate. I have no idea how I am going to pay for it right now lol.

[@RenaesCorner]

Hmmm so many PhDs and some psyd programs are funded so that’s how I am paying for it. The school will offer fellowships or graduate assistantships to help you pay for school.

[@HeyItsAraba]

i cant tell you how helpful your videos are! thank you so much

[@RenaesCorner]

Awwww I am so glad that you like them! Thank you for watching!

[@pesamesagisum]

This was so helpful! Thank you! 🙏

[@RenaesCorner]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@1jazzjasmine]

Great video! Did you graduate with PsyD or PhD? When you're referring to therapists, does that fall under clinical mental health counselors as well?

[@RenaesCorner]

Great Questions! I am currently in my last year of my Phd. and I would say that clinical mental health counselors are a type of therapist. :)

[@in3xt987]

So basically clinical is deeper than therapist , like therapist can help people who don’t have disorders , he only helps normal people who need to talk or something like that

[@RenaesCorner]

Kinda like Therapist is a huge umbrella term. Clinical psychologists and what we think of as like traditional therapists (MFTs, Social workers, Counselors) fall under that broader term. I would say that it really ranges on what types of setting the person works in. In some situations what you are saying is exactly true, but there are also some therapist who work with more severe psychopathology. I hope this makes sense!

[@AvuzwaKeei]

Hi, I wanted to know how does a Clinical Mental Health Counselor become a Counselling Psychologist?

[@RenaesCorner]

They can with additional schooling, but just doing a masters in clinical mental health will not make you a counseling psychologist. But like it could be a steppingstone towards that field.!

[@loonymusic4499]

I never knew there were different, I just thought it was the same lol

[@RenaesCorner]

Yup! I like to this of therapist as a part of what a psychologist does~

[@DullRio]

I saw SPSS and immediately panicked because I should be writing my dissertation right now instead of being on youtube lol.

[@RenaesCorner]

Hahahah! Same same!

[@DullRio]

Renae's Corner KZbin is such a trap! Just subscribed. Sending support to all my fellow PhD-ers. Low key thinking of starting content like this too - another distraction/avoidance tactic? 😛

[@coachtokunbo6629]

Is there a visual presentation anywhere going over this topic?

[@RenaesCorner]

Hmmmm, I am sure there are some out there on the internet, but this was just me reading and taking notes from several sources.

[@lungelongubane4242]

So if u wish to be a therapist which modules should u take with psychology such as English or communication sciences currently doing psych and English combo

[@RenaesCorner]

Hmmm those sound good! English will be helpful due to the amount of writing psychologists and therapist do! I mostly did psychology courses with a few sociology electives because I’m interested in racism.

[@jaywieriman321]

Everyone who studies counseling should check out the KZbin titled "Who makes the best counselors".
