The first season of the American Improvisational comedy television series Web Therapy premiered on July 19, 2011, and concluded on September 20, 2011 on Showtime. The series stars Lisa Kudrow as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who has conceived of a new form of therapy: the titular "web therapy". This season contains the webisodes from seasons one and two of the web series.
The season starts with Fiona setting up her new therapy business on the internet. Some of her first few clients include Richard Pratt, an old co-worker of hers who has a crush on her, Gina Spinks, the ditsy receptionist at Fiona's former workplace, and Jerome Sokoloff, who is, in her own opinion, boring.
When her web therapy success starts to blossom, she gets high-profile clients in an Internet psychic, a woman doing promotional advertising for products. Also signing on is her former boss from Lachman Brothers, Robert Lachman, who is also her potential investor, and Ted Mitchell, a therapist who recommends some of his clients to her. A minor setback occurs when a couple records their sessions with her, giving false information, and publishes them without her consent. When they put a link to Web Therapy onto the site, all is resolved. Another hindering in Fiona's business is her mother, Putsy Hodge, who dislikes Web Therapy and is quick to let her know. She reveals she took in a son who she put up for adoption long before marrying Fiona's father. Fiona also sees that Putsy is starting to become unstable and worries for her, and tries to declare her insane in order to give her the best care. Putsy is not happy and decides she wants nothing to do with her daughter for a while.
Fiona has Kamal Prakash, an IT worker at Kip's office, help her in setting up her online business. He records various testimonials with her clients, including Jerome and Gina. He and Gina flirt during the recording of her testimonials, which greatly irritates Fiona, and they start dating soon after.
When Kip, Fiona's husband of nearly 17 years, worries that Fiona's Web Therapy is ruining his and her reputation, he orders her to shut it down, but she doesn't comply. Fiona soon finds a rival in Robin Griner, who happens to know Kip and is planning to have sex with him during his weekend business trip in Atlanta. Despite Fiona's attempts to warn her that Kip will not cheat on his wife, Robin goes through with it and returns home dejected after he turns her down. She tells Fiona that she heard that Kip only hit on her because he thought she was a transvestite. This leaves Fiona confused.
