you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey however you can likewise pay beforehand and that will make the cost more affordable for you overall and after that based on your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that much better help offers both kinds of mental health professionals so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak with them and you can set up a time to have your first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls but it is great to know that all 4 alternatives three truly to me but they say it’s four are offered and i understand that’s absolutely good for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more nervous about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uneasy when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and then you await your counselor to join and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your conference throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you type of session to figure out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you want to address what are your choices as somebody attending therapy what are your therapists preferences and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can talk about your issues and whatever it is that you wish to deal with and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i believe this does differ by counselor however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have spent for all of my sessions in advance to get that more affordable rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the most significant pros of better help is that it is an online therapy service which makes it very available and really hassle-free for many people as long as you have a web connection you can select a range of different methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you reminders about your visit so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email suggestions and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly effective and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anyone who uses betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no extra cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my opinion the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it sort of sucks particularly considering that better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network but i believe actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Youtubers Promoting Better Help
or messaging or talking during a session photos are shared really oddly they’re shared as files and you can just send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse select the image then put it in and then the individual can’t see a sneak peek of the image they need to click into the file to see it it’s just very out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it actually produces a line break so
