More like cooperation than rivalry. But you are right that the "talk therapists" typically are educated as (practicing) psychologists. Unless they are also MDs they cannot write prescriptions, and work together with those who can (when needed). Sort of like surgeons and anesthesiologists, although the analogy is weak, of course.
Many professional therapists are working online now. There are advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Sometimes it is better for a patient to be at home in a comfortable situation during a session. Sometimes visiting the therapist in an office provides a welcome change of scenery.
In some cases, such as certain addiction clinics, the patients are required (by law, if I remember correctly) to visit the clinic, at least for some sessions.
