The overall decline rolled on -- LinkedIn and Psychology Today slipped again, and Psychology Today's share of the #1 spot fell further, now down around a quarter of that position.
But the standout this week is a name we've seen before: Therapy Solutions for Kids. It was the single biggest mover on the week, jumping from near the bottom of the rankings straight into the top 10. Longtime readers may recognize it -- it surfaced and then faded earlier in the report's history. Now it's back, and sharply. We're flagging the return rather than drawing conclusions; a domain that snaps back into visibility like this is exactly the kind of thing worth watching.
A back-published edition from our spring catch-up, with AI helping on the writing.

Psychology Today holds the #1 spot for therapist searches, but its share has kept sliding -- now around 26%, down from the 40s a couple months back. Still first, but by a much narrower margin than usual.
That's it for this week -- the notable move being Therapy Solutions for Kids surging back into the top 10 after a long absence.
