What Your Therapist Thinks Podcast Launches Season Two

What Your Therapist Thinks is a mental health show where actual, licensed therapists open up about what they’re really thinking, while answering the internet’s most burning mental health questions. And by burning mental health questions, they mean the stuff people are posting about anonymously on Reddit in the middle of the night. These therapists aren’t holding back. They’re telling you what they really think, including the things they’d never actually say in session. 

Kristie Plantinga, founder of BestTherapists.com, and co-host Felicia Keller Boyle, licensed somatic therapist, launched the show in September 2025.

The co-hosts pull back the curtain on the mental health profession by revealing what therapists are actually thinking.

What Your Therapist Thinks provides a bridge between clinical expertise and public curiosity by tackling today's most talked-about mental health topics with honesty and humor. The show is definitely not academic in nature, although listeners can learn a lot about mental health from the show. The tenor of the show is uplifting, positive, and, when appropriate, light-hearted.

Hosted by BestTherapists.com founder Kristie Plantinga, and licensed somatic therapist Felicia Keller Boyle, the podcast features expert therapists who break down real-life stories and the internetʼs most pressing questions.

A core focus of the show is to bring clarity to online mental health discussions.

In season one, the hosts addressed and demystified psychological buzzwords, like gaslighting and narcissism, that dominate social media. Drawing directly from anonymous Reddit posts and listener questions, each episode provided validation, actionable tools, and a professionally informed perspective on issues ranging from emotional numbness and trauma to self-worth and healing.

"The internet loves throwing around clinical terms, but most of the time, people are getting it wrong. We're here to sort that out," says host Kristie Plantinga. "Our goal has been to create a show where people can get clear answers and genuinely helpful tools, proving that conversations about mental health can be both educational and entertaining."

Co-host Felicia Keller Boyle adds, "We're touching on the stuff you think about bringing up in therapy… but maybe don't. It is a space for real chats with real therapists. We might not be your therapists, but we know some really good ones."

What Your Therapist Thinks is brought to you by BestTherapists.com—a directory that vets mental health professionals so therapy-seekers can focus on fit.

 The first episode of season two was just released on February 25, promising more unfiltered conversations, insights from licensed therapists, and the signature entertaining tone that made season one a listener favorite.

After a brief hiatus, “What Your Therapist Thinks” returns to continue its mission:debunking mental health pop culture myths and breaking the stigma around therapy. The show bridges the gap between clinical, credible expertise and the internetʼs most trending mental health topics.

This season features an impressive roster of guest experts, including industry leaders such as TherapyJeff, a creator and licensed therapist with over 4 million followers, to unpack issues such as modern dating advice and relationship dynamics; ADHD and neurodivergence in adulthood; EMDR therapy and trauma recovery, and body dysmorphia and self-image.

“The internet loves throwing around words like ‘gaslightingʼ and ‘toxic,ʼ but most of the time, the context is missing,” says host Kristie Plantinga. 

“In Season 2, …” Co-host Felicia Keller Boyle adds, “We were mind-blown by the love for Season 1. This season, we're keeping that same energy: real chats with expert therapists that will make you feel seen, and occasionally, make you laugh out loud.”

In addition to weekly episodes, season two marked the launch of the “What Your Therapist Thinks” Substack. This new community hub will offer unfiltered post-recording reactions from hosts Kristie and Felicia, monthly curated lists of podcasts, movies, and products the hosts are currently loving, and a space for listeners to connect more personally with Kristie and Felicia.

While some "mental health" podcasts can be scammy in nature, selling supplements for anxiety, doling out sketchy advice, oversimplifying complex psychological conditions, and anointing their show as the repository of all truth on mental health, What Your Therapist Thinks has some serious street cred. I admire the show's goal, which seems more instructive than prescriptive.
