Let's break it down a little and go more in depth about what a good therapist can do for you.
1) Relationships - We are all human, meaning our environment is made up of interacting with other people. Many of us have friends and family that we interact with, as well as co-workers, bosses, etc. To maneuver our interactions and adjust our behaviors, we need to understand ourselves and our position in our environment.
A therapist analyzes our interactions, behaviors, emotions and potential to handle certain stimuli. They accomplish this by asking questions, and understanding our responses, via verbal, body language and mannerisms we portray. Some will even provide a written psychoanalysis to understand our past and how it affects our current behaviors.
2) Stress - When we are stressed out due to current or past incidents, therapist can recognize and recommend medications, journaling, being grateful, and meditation techniques.
Even if you are not stressed out these techniques could assist in creating a resilience and create positive coping skills.
3) Understanding yourself - Due to many traumas we may endure or suffer from, affects our behaviors and mental health status. A therapist will help us recognize these illnesses, and how it affects our daily lives, and offers different techniques in dealing with our disability.
Overall, they help us create a plan to sustain and create a more viable solution in understanding how our illnesses impact us.
4) Personal growth - When a therapist stabilizes our illnesses and we develop skills in coping; she/he then moves on towards ways of developing our own personal goals as well as maintaining our current progress.
Understanding our vulnerability, our therapist assists us in creating a long term plan in achieving our goals. This may include seeking other professional help and guidance. For instance, my husband assists in managing my site. Also, my counselor and other's assist in giving me ideas and capitalizing on my strengths.
