Psychiatrists are normally not the ones who oversee the therapy, but instead are there to diagnose your problem and prescribe drugs so the chances are you've already 'opened up' to the counsellor you had already been seeing before you decided your GP wasn't good enough and asked for a consultation. Psychiatrists are the only ones working in mental health who require a doctorate. 'Psychotherapist' is the blanket term for the clinical psychologist, counsellor, behavioural therapist or psychoanalyst who provides the 'talk therapy'.

Apologies for being a nerd/pedant. I've just been using Yahoo! Answers a lot today.
