Hi, I'm not sure you mean what you say. You format disk drives in disk utility, located in /applications/utilities/. The method is identical and has nothing to do with seeing or mounting the disk on your desktop. In fact, you cannot format a drive with encryption. You can write encrypted data to a drive, or some drives support hardware level encryption, but formatting has nothing to do with encryption for the most part. If you want to use encryption, it is done via the MacOS in System Preferences Security File Vault. If you are using a third party external drive that boasts hardware level encryption, you'll have to refer to the manual to see if it is actually supported on the Mac.
