Many people now need assistance with lgbt counseling, and many people find it very challenging. I am just one of those people myself, and I know how hard it is sometimes for us to find some sort of normal support. Luckily, after that, I was told where to go. For example, you can easily find those that can offer lgbt online counseling and help solve family problems. And it's not less than other couples, we still have them. It is best to not learn about the study and seek assistance from an online psychologist.

In reply to Jennifer Lane. Thanks so much for the additional information, Jennifer! It's hard to include all the details, particularly since so much varies from one country to the next :).

Good job with this description! I would add that differences among degrees include that psychologists have a PhD or PsyD and psychiatrists have a MD (medical doctor). Psychiatrists are less likely to do talk therapy these days and focus more on medication management. Masters-level licenses vary by state, but include licensed social workers that have a MSW, professional counselors that have a LPC, and marriage & family therapists that have a MFT.
