Internet therapists are a thing and there are some amazing ones out there!
Therapists and mental health providers are doing their best to create high quality content for the masses. In my opinion, it's important that licensed professionals create content to combat all the not-so-great therapy content that may have good intentions behind them, but could create more harm than good.
As someone who's been creating content for over a year now on TikTok and Instagram (I have over 2.8 million followers across the platforms (no big deal) I've come across a ton of amazing accounts that I think you all should check out. And who knows?! Maybe you'll feel inspired to create an account and start posting content!
