Most people respond well when therapists use social media to educate rather than to perform. Short, clear posts that normalize emotions, explain simple psychological concepts, or debunk common myths tend to be genuinely helpful for users. It gives people a sense of safety and familiarity with the idea of therapy, especially for those who are hesitant to seek support.
At the same time, social platforms can reshape how viewers perceive therapists. When the content is grounded, respectful, and professional, it builds trust and makes therapy feel more accessible. When the line blurs into overly personal storytelling or dramatic content, it can make viewers question boundaries or feel like the therapist is trying to be an influencer rather than a clinician.
