Looking for a new therapist, the first thing I do after checking to make sure they take my insurance, is google them to see what information I can find. That just seems natural to me--I'm making a big choice with my time and money, anything that helps me suss them out is useful. I think in their business they should keep their social identities locked down and open only to whatever chosen internet "friends" they have. That's what I do. If there's stuff important to me I can't find, like whether they have children, I just ask at the first visit.
It's true there's stuff on the internet you can't help like your address and property value, but there's nothing to do about that except to try to ignore it.
