Dear Therapists with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch are both clinical therapists, TED speakers, bestselling authors, and advice columnists -- so when they team up for a podcast, the result is something genuinely useful. Dear Therapists, produced by iHeartPodcasts, brings listeners into real therapy sessions with everyday people working through serious relationship and personal challenges. With 84 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from over 2,300 reviews, it has built a loyal following. The format is what makes this show special. Each episode follows a clear structure: a person or couple presents their problem, Lori and Guy conduct an actual therapy session, and then there is a follow-up to see what changed. Topics range from infidelity and trust rebuilding to sibling conflict, boundary-setting with critical parents, and navigating grief. The sessions feel authentic because they are -- these are not actors or scripted scenarios. Lori wrote Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and Guy is the author of Emotional First Aid, so both hosts bring serious credentials along with warm, direct communication styles. They complement each other well; Lori tends to ask probing questions while Guy often reframes situations in ways that shift perspective. The show recently moved to encore episodes, replaying their strongest sessions. For couples looking to understand how therapy actually works and pick up concrete tools for their own relationship, this is one of the most practical options available.
