# AI visibility checker for therapists > See if ChatGPT names your therapy practice when people in your city ask for a therapist who takes their insurance or sees couples, and who it names. Looking for a therapist is hard, and many people now start by asking ChatGPT. Enter your practice, your city and the kind of work you do. We ask ChatGPT three questions people ask when they look for a therapist and show who it names. - Page: [AI visibility checker for therapists](https://www.rankli.io/tools/ai-visibility-checker-for-therapists) - Free, with no account and no email. ## How the check works You give your business name, your city and a kind of therapy or client you work with, and your website if you want a link to it to count. The check asks ChatGPT 3 questions with web search on, the way a customer's question reaches it: 1. How do I find a therapist in Philadelphia for couples counseling? 2. Which therapists in Philadelphia take insurance and have openings for new clients? 3. Is there a therapist in Philadelphia who offers couples counseling online and in person? (Shown with the page's example values; the check fills in yours.) For each answer it shows whether ChatGPT named your business, who it named instead, and which sites it read. An answer to the same question is shared for 7 days, and the report says when it was given. ## Questions people ask AI when they look for a therapist People ask about fit, cost and access: who takes their insurance, who has evening hours, who shares their background. Each question is about who to see, and each brings different names. - Which therapists in Seattle take Aetna and have evening appointments? - Is there a sliding-scale counselor in Baltimore for someone without insurance? - How can I find a therapist of color in Oakland? - Which marriage and family therapists in Austin see couples on weekends? - Who offers grief counseling in Pittsburgh after losing a parent? - Is there a Spanish-speaking therapist in San Antonio who works with teens? - Which LGBTQ-affirming therapists in Denver offer online sessions across Colorado? - What does a therapy session cost in Boston without insurance, and who offers a free first call? The check asks 3. On Growth, Rankli asks 50 of yours every week on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. ## What ChatGPT reads before it names a therapist When someone asks for a therapist in a city, ChatGPT searches and reads practice sites, therapist directories and license records. It names the therapists whose pages answer the practical questions: fit, cost, openings and where sessions happen. ### Who you work with, in plain words People look for a therapist for couples, teens, grief or a life change. A page describing the clients you see and how you work, with no promise about outcomes, lets ChatGPT match you to that person’s question. ### Fees, insurance and sliding scale Cost is one of the first things people ask. State your session fee, the insurance plans you accept, whether you offer a sliding scale and whether you provide paperwork for out-of-network claims. ### License and the states you practice in People ask whether a therapist is licensed, and online sessions depend on the state a client lives in. Your license type and the states you can see clients in, written as text, match the records ChatGPT can find. ### Directory profiles that match your site Psychology Today and similar directories describe therapists to people who search. When your name, credentials, fees and openings there match your own site, ChatGPT reads one therapist with one set of facts. ## What three questions tell a therapy practice, and what they leave out - The check asks how people find a therapist, never what care anyone needs. It shows which practices ChatGPT names and says nothing about the quality of anyone’s work. - Answers shift between askings. Growth asks 50 client questions every week and counts how often your practice is named. - One focus per check. Couples work, teen therapy and grief counseling each bring different names, so check each focus you want clients for. - It reads the answer for the name and website you enter. A therapist listed under a personal name in directories and a practice name on the site should check both. ## Questions ### Why does ChatGPT name other therapists in my city? The pages it read describe those therapists for the question: the kind of client, the fee, the insurance, whether they have openings. If your site says little beyond a welcome note, there is little to repeat. Rankli shows each client question you lose and who is named, then writes a page that answers it. ### Can a therapy practice keep every article to its own standards? Yes. Every article can be held as a draft until you approve it. You can also list the words and claims your practice never uses, and a draft that contains one fails its checks. Rankli publishes only what you sign off. ### What should a therapist’s website say so AI can recommend it? The practical facts people ask about: who you see, how you work, your fee, the insurance you take, your openings and whether sessions are online or in person. Rankli plans pages from the questions people ask when they look for a therapist, and writes them from your own site. ### Does my Psychology Today profile affect ChatGPT’s answer? Directory profiles are pages ChatGPT can read when it searches, and it repeats what they state. Keep your profile matching your site: fees, insurance, openings. Rankli shows which pages each answer links to, so you see which profiles shaped it. ### Is the therapist check free? Free, with no account and no email. The 7-day free trial asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini up to 50 questions people ask when they look for a therapist, and lists the ones where another practice is named. ## Related checks - [AI visibility checker for chiropractors](https://www.rankli.io/tools/ai-visibility-checker-for-chiropractors): See whether ChatGPT names your clinic when people in your city ask which chiropractor to see. - [AI visibility checker for dentists](https://www.rankli.io/tools/ai-visibility-checker-for-dentists): See whether ChatGPT names your practice when patients in your city ask for a dentist. - [AI visibility checker for plastic surgeons](https://www.rankli.io/tools/ai-visibility-checker-for-plastic-surgeons): See whether ChatGPT names your practice when patients in your city ask which plastic surgeon to consult. - [Claude visibility checker](https://www.rankli.io/tools/claude-visibility-checker): See whether Claude names your business when buyers ask it for advice, and who it puts forward instead. - [Wix AI visibility checker](https://www.rankli.io/tools/wix-ai-visibility-checker): Find out whether ChatGPT names your Wix site when customers ask for what you offer. - [AI visibility checker for law firms](https://www.rankli.io/tools/ai-visibility-checker-for-law-firms): See whether ChatGPT names your firm when people in your city ask which lawyer to call. - [Every free tool](https://www.rankli.io/tools) ## About Rankli Rankli is an answer engine optimization (AEO) tool that gets businesses recommended by ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
