Online Psychologists (PhD)

32 psychologists (PhD) available online.

There are 32 psychologists (PhD) practicing online. A PhD in clinical or counseling psychology is a doctorate that trains psychologists in both research and clinical practice. To practice as a psychologist, a PhD graduate also completes supervised experience and passes the state's licensing exam. This represents 4% of the 837 total licensed therapists listed online. Among the 9 license types listed online, PhD ranks eighth, after LCSW (321), LPC (165), and LMFT (94) and others. Adding 13 PsyD listings, FindSupport's online network has 45 psychologists listed in all. Psychologists generally don't prescribe medication; for that, people usually see a psychiatrist, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, or their primary care doctor. Across all 837 therapists listed online, 1 works with couples and 1 works with children; each PhD's profile shows which of these they do. These listings give no city because the therapists work online. Therapists can generally see clients online only in states where they're licensed, and the rules vary by state. FindSupport can also suggest therapists online from a short description of what you're going through (your concern, language, insurance, or budget), free of charge.

What is a PhD psychologist?

A PhD psychologist completed a research-focused doctorate in clinical or counseling psychology along with supervised clinical training. PhD psychologists provide psychotherapy and psychological testing, and many also teach or do research. For a client, therapy with a PhD psychologist is much like therapy with a PsyD; the difference lies mostly in how the degree program was weighted.

What is a PhD psychologist?

A PhD in clinical or counseling psychology is a doctorate that trains psychologists in both research and clinical practice. To practice as a psychologist, a PhD graduate also completes supervised experience and passes the state's licensing exam. Licensed psychologists provide psychotherapy and psychological testing; in most states they don't prescribe medication, and licensing requirements vary by state. A PhD in another field is not a psychology license, so check each profile's license. To confirm a license, search the licensing board of the state where the therapist practices.
