Brief Explanation
Sometimes people have difficulty dealing with change. A therapist can help people adjust. In this spot, listeners are dealing with the change in their regular coffee shop, Bess Eaton, to a new coffee shop, Tim Horton's. Hence, the coffee therapist.
The comedic appeal of this spot is the unsoothing, curt, untheraputic voiceover that contrasts with that of a conventional therapist.
