Web Therapy is an American comedy series that premiered on Showtime on July 19, 2011. It is based on the web series of the same name and stars Lisa Kudrow as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who works with patients over the Internet.
Web Therapy initially received mixed reviews from critics but has since received more positive reviews, with many critics praising Kudrow's performance.
On August 11, 2015, Showtime cancelled the series after four seasons.
The series follows Fiona Wallice, a therapist who has conceived of a new form, or as Fiona pretentiously calls it a new "modality," of therapy: the titular "web therapy". In her estimation, the traditional "50 minute hour" version of therapy gives people too much leeway to talk about irrelevant things. By dramatically shortening session time, she hopes to get results more quickly. The sessions are taped in the hope of attracting investors into promoting her new technique as a worldwide therapy option.
Kudrow's former Friends costars David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and Courteney Cox have all appeared as guest stars on Web Therapy. Other guest stars that have appeared over the course of the series include: Maulik Pancholy, Steven Weber, Bob Balaban, Patrick Curran, Jane Lynch, Rosie O'Donnell, Selma Blair, Conan O'Brien, Molly Shannon, Steve Carell, Minnie Driver, Meryl Streep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Meg Ryan, Sara Gilbert, Chelsea Handler, Megan Mullally, Mae Whitman, Darren Criss, Bill Cosby, Calista Flockhart, Jon Hamm, Caspar Lee, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dax Shepard, Craig Ferguson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Lauren Graham, Nina Garcia, Allison Janney, Julie Claire and Christina Applegate.
