* ''Series/CobraKai'': After Anthony gets suspended at school for bullying Kenny, Daniel and Amanda discuss getting him some therapy to address the issue. Daniel's cousin Louie suggests they have his sister Vanessa, a graduate student in child psychology, assist them with Anthony. The two of them agree after witnessing her expertise, but it backfires on them when she reveals that the two of them have to be assessed before she talks with him. The ensuing session forces them to confront the fact that a lot of Anthony's behavior stems directly from their spoiling him and letting screen technology be a babysitter.

* ''Series/TheSopranos'': After Carmela attends one of her and Tony's couples' therapy sessions with Dr. Melfi alone, Melfi suggests that Carmela try regular therapy with another psychiatrist (Melfi herself cannot treat Carmela one-on-one due to conflict of interest). When she schedules a session, the therapist bluntly gives her a reality check on her life's situation, namely, that Tony is not and will never be a good man, she's an accomplice by living off his blood money, she has no moral justification for staying married to him, and she needs to get herself and the kids away from him if she ever wants to achieve a sense of normalcy. Naturally, Carmela chooses to ignore his advice.

* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'': As an engagement gift, Frasier gives [[WillTheyOrWontThey Sam and Diane]] a therapy session with a friend of his. He comes to the conclusion that the two have a completely unhealthy relationship, there's no trust between them and they should never see one another again. Diane utterly refuses to accept this, and spends the entire evening badgering the man (who notes nothing about this is helping Diane's case), until he finally has a screaming breakdown as only Creator/JohnCleese can deliver.

* Played with in an episode of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory,'' where Penny (as a pharma rep) is trying to sell a drug to a therapist who refuses to see her. The gang suggests Leonard make an appointment and use it to talk up Penny so that she can use it as her opening, and he reluctantly agrees. He comes out of his session feeling better and with an invitation for Penny to talk to the therapist, but when Penny gets there, the therapist isn't interested in hearing her sales pitch. She wants to talk about why Penny thinks it's okay to manipulate her boyfriend like that. Then, after some awkward attempts at justification, Penny winds up opening up to the therapist, which does pave the way for some introspection, and at no point is Leonard framed as the bad guy in the episode. But if you consider the point being "sell this drug to this therapist" rather than "make my boyfriend do what I want him to," then it was a failure, because Penny admits to the unpleasant side-effects at the end of her session, basically guaranteeing she doesn't get the sale.

To her surprise, instead of sympathizing with her, the therapist and all the other couples tell her that she clearly isn't communicating with him properly, it's ridiculous for her to expect Tim to be able to read her mind and see how she's feeling all the time, and she's being way too critical and demanding of him.
