I got very lucky with my T. I got on to google maps and searched for a counselor near where I work. Then I checked my insurance to make sure she was in-network, and booked my first appointment. The process was very unlike how I usually choose a provider. I didn't do any research, I knew nothing about her, and I even forgot her name at first. Crazy! She has turned out to be pretty great and she's the first therapist I ever felt any kind of connection with. It wasn't until later that I started looking at her website and learning more about her.
