Watch real therapy happen, across every major approach
The APA PsycTherapy video subscription is the APA’s video demonstration collection — genuine therapy sessions recorded with real clients, spanning cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic and other modalities. Seeing skilled clinicians work is a different kind of learning from reading about technique, which is why it is a mainstay of training programmes.
Inside this resource
Sessions across every major modality
The library moves through cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic and further approaches, so trainees can compare how the same presenting problem is handled through different theoretical lenses.
Real clients in the APA PsycTherapy video subscription
These are actual sessions, not scripted role-plays, covering a range of populations and clinical conditions — the messiness and pacing of real practice that textbooks cannot convey.
A supervision and teaching tool
Because sessions can be paused, replayed and discussed, the collection works as structured material for supervision groups and classroom teaching, not just private viewing.
Who this serves
- Psychology trainees — watch expert clinicians work before and between their own supervised sessions.
- Clinical supervisors and educators — ready teaching material to pause, replay and discuss with a group.
- Practising therapists — see approaches outside your own training applied to real presentations.

Dr. Marco R. –
Excellent material. I wanted more sessions in a couple of the newer modalities, but what is there is high quality and genuinely useful for teaching.

The range of modalities is the strength — comparing CBT and humanistic on similar cases is gold for supervision.
Dr. Hannah W. –
Watching a real psychodynamic session start to finish taught my trainees more than three lectures did. We pause and discuss constantly.
K. Ito –
Real clients, real pacing. Some videos are older but the clinical value holds up completely.

Seeing skilled therapists handle silences and ruptures was eye-opening. Streaming was smooth on campus wifi.
