    How Virtual Therapists Can Get Found Online Without a Google Business Profile

    Google Business Profile has always been a great tool to market your practice. Most recently, it's apparent that AI will pull directly from Google Business Profile when recommending a therapist to someone. Sadly, exclusively virtual therapy practices are not allowed to have a Google Business Profile (there are workarounds, but they are not allowed, so I don't cover those in this episode). But if you have an onlie practice, no need to fret! In this episode, I share a checklist of reasonable, simple tools you can easily use to make sure your virtual therapy practice is showing up online. Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

    AI is now Your Therapist and Spouse

    According to the latest issue of the APA Monitor on Psychology, the top two trending topics for 2026 are about how people are interacting with AI for therapy and for companionship (and yes, some people are marrying their AI companion). In this episode, we dive into these two APA articles to take a look at the positives and downsides of using AI in these "human-like" interactions. As always, you can expect a little snarky commentary from me as well :D Articles Mentioned: Article: "AI, neuroscience, and data are fueling personalized mental health care” https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-personalized-mental-health-care Article: "AI chatbots and digital companions are reshaping emotional connection” https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-digital-ai-relationships-emotional-connection LINKS: *Some links are affiliate links.

    The Importance of Staying Curious with Therapy Clients

    In today’s episode we talk about a core element of the therapeutic alliance that we rarely talk about in our field: curiosity. As a profession, we spend quite a bit of time honing in on specific techniques, but we don’t spend enough time talking about the most core element of therapy: the therapeutic alliance. We know from research that a strong, genuine connection with a therapist is the strongest predictor of therapeutic outcomes. So let’s talk about it more! Links from today’s episode: Frontiers in Psychology Article: "Psychotherapy as investigation: cultivating curiosity and insight in the therapeutic process” https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2025.1603719/full The “Dodo Bird Effect” Definition: https://study.com/academy/lesson/dodo-bird-verdict-in-psychotherapy.htmlLINKS: *Some links are affiliate links.
