Not every therapist will feel like the right fit, and that’s completely okay. At Cognitive Analytica, we believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and comfortable. If you ever feel disconnected or unsure about your progress, switching therapists is a normal and healthy part of your mental-health journey.
The bond you form with your therapist, called the therapeutic alliance, is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes. It’s not only about the therapist’s qualifications, but about how comfortable, understood, and supported you feel in each session.
Some therapists take a structured, goal-oriented approach like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while others use reflective, insight-based methods like psychodynamic therapy. It’s natural that one style may resonate with you more than another.
If you’d like guidance on how to evaluate a therapist’s background and approach, see our guide on How to Find the Right Therapist in Lebanon. It explains how to verify licenses, understand different modalities, and identify the traits of a professional who aligns with your personality and goals.
Sometimes, even with effort and patience, the connection just doesn’t click — and that’s valid. You may feel unheard, uncomfortable sharing openly, or notice that progress has plateaued. You might even sense that your therapist’s communication style doesn’t align with yours.
These feelings don’t mean therapy isn’t working; they simply mean this partnership may not be the best match. It’s completely ethical to bring this up with your therapist — most professionals will understand and even help guide the transition.
