Therapist Search Result Trends for YouTube

These graphs help show the general trend of how often and where youtube.com is included in search results for specific therapists.

Appearance Scores

Average Positions

Note: Appearance Score is how frequently this website shows up (so a higher number means it's more popular or common), while Average Position is where in those search results this website is displayed (so a lower number means it's higher up on the page and more likely to be clicked).

For quite some time, YouTube was not a big player in search results for therapists. But that changed, perhaps due to a Google algorithm update, in September 2025. Videos from the past are now surfacing more frequently when folks search for therapists -- videos that involve interviews with those therapists, informational content produced by those therapists, etc. (Basically, if the therapist's name is mentioned in the title or description of the video, it seems to rank quite high!)

To see how YouTube stacks up against the rest of the popular therapist directories and other websites, read the latest edition of our Therapist Search Report.

Note: These statistics are intended to highlight broad patterns we've observed when searching for therapists by name. While we use a consistent methodology and a reasonable sample size, the results are not exhaustive. They may not reflect every search variation, every geographic region, or every change in search engine algorithms. This information should be viewed as a general snapshot, not a definitive or complete record. (And if you have ideas on how we can make our analysis even better, we'd love to hear them!)

About Quill: Quill helps therapists write clear, accurate, and professional therapy progress notes in less time. You record (or write) a brief session summary, and Quill formats those important details into a well-written note -- so you can focus on your clients, not your paperwork. And importantly, Quill does not record therapy sessions, so you don't have to sacrifice your ethics or your clients' privacy.

Also, therapists can now create their own custom documentation templates -- so whether it's an intake assessment, custom progress note format, or literally any other type of documentation, Quill has you covered.
