it depends but if this therapist is for a medical condition (whether physical or mental), then you will be able to claim an itemized medical deduction for your out of pocket costs for these therapy sessions.

TurboTax will guide you on entering all of your medical expenses so include everything you paid out-of-pocket including prescriptions, glasses, dentist bills, etc.

Here is a link for more information about claiming medical expenses on your tax return

To enter medical expense information in TurboTax, log into your tax return (for TurboTax Online sign-in, click Here and click on "Take me to my return") type "medical expense" in the search bar then select "jump to medical expense". TurboTax will guide you in entering this information.
