Slang shouldn't be used in formal situations such as a job interview, a speech or in an essay for school. However, it's fine to use slang when just hanging out with friends.

What are some methods a therapist could use when hearing slang?

Why would you want to use methods? Slang is not some horrible thing that makes people mentally ill or something! If you don't understand the slang, you should, of course, ask for the meaning. If the therapist personally does not approve of slang -- well, my suggestion would be to find another line of work because everyone uses slang and you can't just stop talking to anyone who does use slang!
