Dear Therapists with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch are both licensed therapists, published authors, and TED speakers, and together they host a show that gives listeners something unusual: the chance to sit in on a real therapy session and then hear what happened afterward. Each episode brings in an everyday person dealing with a genuine life struggle, and the two therapists work through it live, offering concrete advice that's grounded in clinical experience. The follow-up component is what makes this format special. Guests return later to share how the session impacted their lives, which closes a loop that most therapy podcasts leave open. Gottlieb brings the warmth and emotional attunement you'd expect from the author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, while Winch provides a more analytical, solution-oriented perspective. They balance each other well, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. With 84 episodes and a 4.8 star rating from over 2,300 reviews, the show has earned a loyal following despite a more modest episode count than some competitors. The podcast airs weekly on iHeartPodcasts and continues to release new episodes as of early 2026. Recent episodes have tackled topics like coming out as transgender, sibling rivalry, and family pressure around marriage timelines. The sessions feel personal and unscripted in the best way, and the actionable advice makes it easy to take something useful away from each listen.
