I prefer client, because it sounds like a business transaction... which implies that I have a choice in the matter. Which I do. "Patient" makes it sound like I'm sick and I need healing. I suppose a mental health diagnosis could qualify me as "sick," but I don't see it that way. And I don't go to therapy to be healed, either. It helps me find ways to cope and think better
