I love being able to talk to my counselor wherever I am. There have been times when I need to talk to my counselor the most while I have been out of town and a traditional session would not have been possible. From the app I can send messages to my counselor to mention something we should talk about in our next meeting or to reschedule last minute. The app also has a journal feature where you can share (or not share) a journal entry to give more insight to your counselor about a topic that you have been dealing with. I like having the option to have a video or phone call. Some days it's just nice to not have a face to face when you're feeling really down or don't want to get out of bed.

I like the different options for help and that it’s accessible on my phone. The availability doesn’t always line up with mine and sometimes for my therapist. Theres been 2 weeks I haven’t been able to see her which isn’t ideal when I am paying for each week.

I love this app! A few reasons to not give it 5* are: I'd like the recordings to be sent automatically, and with the title in the email so I can search for missed sessions in particular.

I can recommend BetterHelp, although 100% online, due to the great psychologists available via the platform. Support is excellent and speedy if you do run into issues, like I did on 2 occasions with the video feed, which however seems to have due to issues on the remote end. We were since able to resolve and subsequent sessions have been flawless w.r.t. quality.

You can make requests based on connecting with someone similar based on gender or ethnicity or faith. The few downsides are if you are new to using counselling it would be nice to have 4 intro sessions with 2 or 3 different therapists to know which style and personality you respond to best and connect with. The membership also needs to be clear that it's not based on max 4 sessions to be taken anytime instead it's where you pay one per week and monthly subscription is taken regardless of if you have 2sessions a month or 4 unless you email customer support to ask for an extension. Esp in cases where the therapist has little availability that works for you. As the sessions are expensive, it be better to pay per session or sessions than having a monthly subscription. Hopefully they incorporate these more flexible payment options to make it easier for people to budget and plan.

Simple, but great concept for people who want to get helped. My therapist Szilvia did a great job in every aspect and I am happy to have made this experience. I would recommend this to everybody. The only missing thing is shortly available support, like some kind of „emergency“-hotline

It took a few tries but I think I found a good therapist! I like the flexibility to as schedule and can do this virtually from my home. Try it out. Therapy is great!

If you are looking for therapy and are on a limited budget, I highly recommend BetterHelp. The therapists are professional and really help you work through your current issue
