therapist, the rapist

Therapist or therapist ( one word ) means a person trained to help people overcome psychological or physical problems--
He sees a therapist every week; he has a lot of emotional issues.
She has been seeing a physical therapist ever since the accident.

The rapist or the rapist ( two words ) means a certain ( the ) sex offender ( rapist )--
A woman was assaulted last night; the police are looking for the rapist.
In this episode, the rapist turns out to be a detective who was fired from his job.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"A therapist may help her get over her anxiety about the rapist."
