Psychologist hiring typically involves candidates with doctoral degrees and licensure, working in clinical, research, or educational settings. Therapists often hold master's degrees and focus on providing counseling or therapy services. While both roles serve mental health needs, psychologists generally have more extensive training and work in broader environments, whereas therapists focus on therapeutic interventions in more community-based settings.
