It's never made a difference to me. I started off with a doctoral student (I think it was her last clinical experience to get her degree) and she was great to start with. Then after she graduated, I was referred to the ED specialist in the office who was a LPC/MA. I didn't like her at first, but that's because she was asking the right questions. I grew to really like her, and she helped me tremendously. I've seen a bunch of therapists over the past 6 years with a variety of degrees and experience, most recently an individual T with a PsyD and a group T LCSW and they both helped me so much in different ways. What I liked most about the PsyD was all in our rapport and her personality as a person and therapist, not necessarily the training she received (though that obviously isn't unimportant). The LCSW was great at her job, though we didn't click as well. Honestly, I think their experiences after school/training and the connection with the client are much more important.
