'der Therapeut' and 'die Therapeutin' refer to the same profession. Both provide therapies and treat mental or physical problems. The difference is the grammatical and natural gender of the person: 'der Therapeut' is used for a man, or sometimes generally for the job title. 'die Therapeutin' is used for a woman. Learners may confuse the words because the professional meaning is the same. So what matters here is not the activity, but the form used for the person.

The therapist talks with Sofia about her fear of the exam.
Ich habe morgen einen Termin bei meinem Therapeuten.
I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow.
