What is a therapist?

A therapist is a licensed mental health professional trained to help people understand and address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges through structured conversation and evidence-based interventions. Types include LPC, LCSW, MFT, and PhD/PsyD psychologists. Lovon is not a therapist and does not provide clinical treatment — it is an AI emotional support companion designed to complement, not replace, professional mental health care.
