Most people wouldn’t think twice about visiting a doctor if they were sick, but that same approach isn’t always taken when it comes to mental and emotional challenges. Unfortunately, this delay in getting help can cause increased suffering for those who are struggling with mental illness.
If you’re concerned about your mental health, you might benefit from speaking to a licensed psychiatric provider, psychologist, therapist, or counselor. And no matter your specific situation, the team at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Irving is here to help.
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.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Irving, we offer:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

Benefits of Online Psychiatry
Many mental health issues are caused by a combination of factors that may be physical, psychological, or environmental in nature. Psychiatrists can often offer the comprehensive treatment needed for these disorders thanks to their medical background.
As licensed doctors, psychiatric professionals can perform a thorough analysis of your physical symptoms through a variety of psychological questionnaires and lab tests. With that information in hand, they can customize treatment to fit the specifics of your situation. They can prescribe medication, guide you through talk therapy, and provide a number of other treatment options.
Psychiatry appointments can help those struggling with many mental, emotional, and mental disorders with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. To speak to a qualified psychiatric nurse practitioner via phone or video chat, get in touch with us today at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Irving.
Schedule Counseling Services at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Irving
We believe everyone should have access to the counseling services they need to live a fulfilling and healthy life. That is why we offer therapy appointments in person and online via phone or video chat. While some prefer the traditional therapy experience, remote therapy is a convenient alternative for Irving families and individuals who have a restricted schedule, are unable to travel, or simply feel more at ease speaking with a therapist from the comfort of their home.
We also work to ensure that new clients can meet with a provider within a week of booking, even in the evenings and on weekends.
