All of the new threads have inspired me to ask a question of you all. In advance, this is a very American-centric question, because I am a stereotypical American who is ignorant of anything outside of my borders. My apologies for this.

What type of license does the therapist that you see have? Is there a particular reason that you chose this type of licensure over another? Is there a type of therapist that you wouldn't see? Anything else to add?

I see an LCSW. In my therapy history, I've seen three LCSWs and one LPC. The reason I chose an LCSW is because my market is saturated with them. There is a large graduate program for clinical social work in my area, so the majority of psychotherapists' in this area have this license. I'm not against other licenses, just that I've found that I align with the way that LCSWs conceptualize their work (especially with their bent about social justice).
