I watched a few of the videos and found a lot of "boilerplate" statements and particular words or catch phrases. I think most of the woodenness is probably due to the situation of speaking into the void of nothingness, which I'm not sure can capture what it's like to interact with a person.
I don't think I"m the target audience for this kind of advertisement. I would no more look for a therapist on youtube than I would sign up for online dating. The last time I dated, people called each other on landline phones and left messages on answering machines.
I select therapists by referrals from people in the community I know and/or friends. I did find a consulting therapist on psychology today's website but I'm not sure if I just searched online for info on her after somebody told me. It was a few years ago.
I didn't find any of the few of them I watched so irritating I would rule them out if someone recommended them, but it was like non-information to me. Totally useless, if I were looking.
