I am with a psychologist, as it turns out, but I would not select a therapist based mainly on degree type. If you want to know if a therapist can deal with your problems, the only way to get an idea of that is to discuss your problems with them and see if they seem knowledgeable of and comfortable with them. If you want someone who can offer more than supportive conversations or who can explore childhood issues, you can mention that and see if they can talk intelligently about it. A higher degree is no guarantee someone can help you; and a lower degree does not necessarily indicate they can't.
