Terapeutti

Terapeutti is a term used to describe a professional who provides therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families. Therapists work to reduce psychological distress, improve coping skills, and support mental health and well-being through structured conversations and related techniques. The exact scope of the profession varies by country and licensing regime, but broadly includes practitioners who assess needs, develop treatment plans, and apply methods to help clients manage emotional, behavioral, or interpersonal problems.

Education and credentials vary by jurisdiction. Many therapists hold degrees in psychology, social work, counseling, or psychotherapy, and complete supervised clinical practice. Some places require formal licensure or certification for certain titles; ongoing professional development and ethical training are typically expected.

Common modalities and specialties include talk therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic approaches, as well as family or couples therapy. Some therapists work with trauma, crisis intervention, or preventive mental health, and others operate in settings like schools, hospitals, private practice, or community organizations.

Ethical and professional standards emphasize confidentiality, informed consent, and appropriate boundaries, along with cultural sensitivity and adherence to evidence-based practices. Therapists often collaborate with other health professionals and may refer clients to additional services when needed. Overall, terapeutti is a broad designation for professionals dedicated to supporting emotional and psychological well-being through structured, client-centered care.
