In my experience, bad.

For me, it seems crazy in the year 2020 that a therapist wouldn't introduce basic analytics into the process with something like a brief mood survey after each session to know if therapy is ...for lack of a better term..."working".

Zero therapists I've found via the NYC therapist-finder sites do this.

Yup, we agree user feedback and monitoring are really helpful - hopefully the profession gets to that point.

Not to sound too frustrated here, but these CBT techniques are now 40 years old. So hoping the profession slowly comes around seems too mild of a take for me.
