If I'm allowed 2 dogs, can I have a therapy dog as well as the 2 I own?

I have bad anxiety and panic attacks and don't really go out to avoid a panic attack and tbh, any dog in the world helps ease the feelings a little...but I have a third dog and was wondering if I had her registered as a therapy dog, would she still technically count as having another pet?...I really don't wanna lose her!!!!!!!!

No, you are becoming agoraphobic to avoid panic attacks. Another dog wont help any more than the 2 you already own.
Go see your doctor and get anti anxiety meds and cognitive behaviour therapy. Tackle the problem in a way that works instead of using a live animal as a crutch.
Dogs dont make good emotional crutches; they let us down, they can get sick and die.
CBT would solve the problem permanently, then you wont suffer the anxiety.

Why do you so many of you keep confusing therapy dogs with "ESA" dogs???
1) therapy dogs are well-trained dogs that have been tested and APPROVED to be therapy dogs and are registered with organizations like TDI - Therapy Dogs International. They go with their owner to nursing homes, hospitals, etc. They also most often have already earned their Canine Good Citizenship title with the AKC. My own Newfoundland has both CGC and TD after his registered name and has just started visiting facilities.
2) Service Dogs are professional trained to perform specific tasks for their owners - Guide Dogs for Blinds, dogs that detect seizures, etc.
2) "ESA" dogs have NO legitimate registry as there is NO testing, NO assessment of temperament and NO registration. This is just a bogus designation people are giving their PETS.
WHY do you think you "need" an "ESA" dog? ANYONE can benefit from having a dog around you don't need to call it something it isn't.
If you already have two dogs why would a third untrained dog make ANY difference to you?
If you're only allowed 2 dogs where you live - too bad. Why the hell did you get this dog KNOWING you couldn't have it? Shame on you.

Nope
A therapy dog is dog that is well trained and is allowed to visit hospitals and the like. they are PETS by law therefore you can't have three dogs and claim one is a therapy dog. You would be forced to get rid of the third dog.
ESA are just pets and you will be forced to get rid of the third dog.
You can want it all you want. You can't have a third dog. You ahve tow you are clearly bored of and you want another dog and are willing to lie and make up excuses to get it and will whine and cry when you are forced to get rid of it despite knowing you cna't have three. Dogs can do nothing for you at all

No. Esa and therapy dogs are just PETS. You are already allowed two pets. Either one of the two could just as easily be your esa.

A therapy dog is nothing more than another pet with a good citizenship certificate, it has the same restrictions as any other pet.
It may visit, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices but only if invited.
It will not help your "bad anxiety and panic attacks" for that you need to seek the help of a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, and medication.
They don't require registration, whether they're Therapy, ESA or Service dogs.
Perhaps you mean an ESA, which is still considered a pet with the same restrictions as any other pet.
For a person to legally qualify for an emotional support animal (ESA), he/she must be considered emotionally disabled by a licensed mental health professional (therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.), as evidenced by a properly formatted prescription letter. Typically, a medical doctor does not qualify because they are not a licensed mental health professional.
The letter should state that:
You are currently his/her patient
Are under his/her care for the treatment of mental disability found in the DSM IV or V (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, version 4 or 5).
Your disability substantially limits at least one major life activity
He/she prescribes for you an emotional support animal as a necessary treatment for your mental health.
In addition, the letter must be dated, written on his/her letterhead, include his/her license type, number, date of license, and state in which the license was issued.
No public or private entity (motels, restaurants, stores, trains, taxis, busses, theatres, parks, beaches, libraries, zoos, schools, etc.) is required to allow your ESA to accompany you and in all other instances, your ESA has no more rights than a pet. That means they aren't protected by law to accompany you into any public place that does not allow pets.
