Hi Simon, We do bill members on a subscription/membership basis, but you can cancel the membership with just a few clicks from your "My Account" page at any time. We can also work with you to determine any refund you might be eligible for if you haven't been using the service during your recent billing cycle. To help ensure we can get this resolved for you, I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account. Someone from our team can follow up with you directly.

This is the third time that my husband, my son, and I have met with our therapist over a video call. She is noticably very attentive, and with many questions she has helped us work through our areas of concern. My only regret is that we did not start sooner!

They make it very simple and easy. Your in control of the therapy you feel comfortable with. Its not intimidating at all.

I would give BetterHelp a 0, if I could. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a therapist and I’ve had some bad ones. I was matched with a very close minded, judgmental and overall miserable old lady. She had very strong opinions about my past/current choices and made sure to let me know, even though I never asked. She was very disrespectful, rude and assumed she knew everything about me after talking for a few minutes. She looked nothing like her picture either. I don’t know where they find these people but she should NOT be a therapist. I was so upset I cried after the session. A huge waste of my time and money. I will never recommend this app but I will make sure to let anyone know to not use their services.

Hi Whitney, We're truly sorry to hear about what you experienced with your therapist. We take clinical quality very seriously, and what you've described is the opposite of what we would expect from a mental health provider. We'd appreciate the chance to see how we can make this right for you. I've requested the email address associated with your account so that we can have a member of our management team follow up with you. Once we gather some more details, we can file a report with our Clinical Operations team so they can investigate what happened and take the appropriate actions. Talk soon, BetterHelp Team

Ich habe Erfahrung mit Therapie und wollte aus Neugier mal schauen warum betterhelp in der Werbung so angepriesen wird. Bevor es losgeht muss ein Fragebogen ausgefüllt werden und wer spätestens dabei nicht schon skeptisch wird verliert viel Geld und wertvolle Zeit. Da wird man zum Beispiel gefragt ob der/die Berater/in religiös oder aus der LGBTQ Szene sein darf. Dann kann die angebliche Beratung auch ausschließlich über Nachrichten stattfinden. Ich vermute dort auf jeden Fall Chatbots hinter. Das hat nichts mit professioneller und echter Beratung zu tun. Finger weg.
Response from BetterHelpAug 3, 2026
Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, deine ersten Eindrücke zu teilen. Wir möchten zunächst klarstellen, dass BetterHelp keine Therapie anbietet, sondern psychologische Beratung durch qualifizierte Berater:innen Der Fragebogen zu Beginn dient dazu, dich möglichst passend mit einer Beraterin oder einem Berater zusammenzubringen. Fragen zu Themen wie Religion oder der LGBTQ+-Community sollen sicherstellen, dass persönliche Wünsche und Bedürfnisse bei der Vermittlung berücksichtigt werden können – selbstverständlich nur, wenn sie für die ratsuchende Person relevant sind. Außerdem ist die Nachrichtenfunktion lediglich eine zusätzliche Option, um den Kontakt möglichst flexibel und niedrigschwellig zu gestalten. Die meisten unserer Mitglieder nutzen Live-Sitzungen per Video oder Telefon, können aber zwischen den Terminen auch Nachrichten mit ihrer Beraterin oder ihrem Berater austauschen. Wir möchten außerdem betonen, dass BetterHelp keine KI oder Chatbots für die Beratung einsetzt. Alle Nachrichten und Live-Sitzungen erfolgen ausschließlich durch qualifizierte psychologische Berater:innen, die ihre Antworten persönlich verfassen. Es tut uns leid, dass unser Angebot bei dir einen anderen Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Wir hoffen, diese Informationen helfen dabei, unser Konzept besser einzuordnen.

I went through a detailed and personal initial process, including a fairly extensive written description of highly personal information only to find that their “insurance accepted” is a misnomer— the list is quite limited. I clicked on “show me my discount” to pay out of pocket, but their system canceled me out anyway. They just made a highly uncomfortable process worse.

Hi Betsy, Our apologies for any frustration with this experience. We do work with many health insurance providers, but not all specific plans offered through those providers cover BetterHelp sessions. That being said, we do offer other ways to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. We also want to look into what happened with the automatic account cancellation, as that is not how the system is designed! I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account so that we can have a member of our Technical Support team investigate this further for you, and see if there's a way we can still help!
