Treatment With a Psychologist FAQs

What are psychologists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Irvine, CA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Irvine is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Need more help deciding?

Our psychologists help everyday people just like yourself to experience relief from the mental health challenges they’re faced with. If you think you might find value in talking to a psychologist, reach out to Thriveworks in Irvine, CA. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances. 

What Does a Psychologist Do? 

A psychologist is a licensed mental health professional who can diagnose and treat mental health conditions and disorders. Psychologists team up with their clients to help them manage and mitigate the disruptive symptoms of their mental health challenges. While everyone’s situation varies, our psychologists at Thriveworks in Irvine, CA commonly help people with: 

  • Breakups and divorces
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Relationship problems
  • Child or teen behavioral issues 
  • The loss of a friend or family member
  • Financial or work-related stress 
  • Anxiety
  • Depression 

Still, there’s no cause for concern if you’re not seeing the issues that you’re dealing with being listed above. These are just a few of the many different issues and conditions that our psychologists can assist you with. 

How Can a Psychologist Help?

Psychologists often use talk or behavioral therapy in order to help clients work through what’s bothering them. Clients can choose to attend therapy in-person or online, by phone or video. 

Psychologists are often the go-to choice for people who are experiencing family, relationship, or friendship troubles. Through group therapy, a psychologist can offer you and your loved ones the opportunity to: 

  • Set and hold healthy boundaries in different scenarios
  • Resolve relationship or marital problems 
  • Build healthier family relationships
  • Improve emotional regulation
  • Improve your communication skills
