Maggie had always been introverted. As a kid she preferred to play alone in her dollhouse instead of outside with the rambunctious kids in her neighborhood. But in her 20s, she suddenly found that she wasn’t seeing anyone in person for weeks at a time. She turned down every invitation to get dinner with friends, or to see a movie at the theater. She closed her online dating account. She even managed to avoid video meetings with her coworkers, who also worked remotely.

When Maggie thought of hanging out with other people, her heart started racing and she worried that she wasn’t fit for company. People would think she was weird or stupid. People would judge her body or her clothes. The whole idea of socializing just gave her too much anxiety. And yet being isolated was making her feel more and more lonely and depressed. She’d even started to spend the weekends entirely in her bed, ordering groceries to her house instead of going to the store. Even the thought of interacting with her postal carrier gave her anxiety. What should Maggie do?

Maggie could benefit from seeing a psychologist at Thriveworks in Modesto, CA. Our psychologists are highly-trained, top-rated professionals in their mental health fields. They can offer support for a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems.

How Do I Know Whether to See a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist, or Someone Else?

There are many practical differences between the mental health professions, but they all have in common the same goal: to help their clients thrive. And mental health degrees don’t have to be terminal. Many Thriveworks mental health providers continue their educations in one way or another through specialized training and licenses. For instance, whenever there’s a new and effective treatment for a mental health disorder, you can bet that Thriveworks providers are learning all about it.

Here’s a quick rundown of some types of mental health providers and what they can help you with:

  • Licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs)

They earned master’s degrees in social work and can address both psychotherapeutic and practical needs like healthcare assistance and family services.

  • Psychologists (PsyDs or PhDs)

  • Licensed professional counselors (LPCs)
