So grateful to have found Better Help. I have an amazing therapist who is helping me significantly.

This was a much better option for me because I was too anxious about going to an appointment in person.

I didn't know what to expect from betterhelp. I'd heard it thrown around on podcasts, and seen ads elsewhere, but the idea of online counseling felt a little iffy to me. This is the best counseling I've ever had. I think the best feature of betterhelp is that you fill out a questionnaire about yourself and your needs at the beginning, and counselors get to select profiles they feel they can make a difference with. As a queer person, I don't have to worry how my counselor will feel about me coming out. I don't have to worry if discussing my experiences with religion is going to make interactions tense. I don't have to pick and choose what to talk about to make sure I don't bring bad attention to myself (all of which has unfortunately happened to me in other programs, time and time again). Rather than being limited by geography, betterhelp offers you a chance to find a counselor that really fits your needs and your growth rate. And if you don't feel like it's a good match, you can request a new counselor (but I haven't had to!) Furthermore, betterhelp offers you group seminars, an online journal (and journaling reminders), and a place to keep any worksheets or extra information your counselor may send to you. You can chat with your counselor, or have phone call or live video sessions. And all of this at a lower cost than traditional therapy. I know that this review may sound corny and staged or paid or something, but I really am healing in ways I hadn't hoped for, and I haven't even been with betterhelp a month yet. There is no anxiety about calling to make appointments, and I can reach out to Linda with problems as they come so that I don't forget to mention them when we have our sessions. If you can afford to (AND THEY HAVE FINANCIAL AIDE) I cannot recommend it enough. With the pandemic, BLM, and financial strain, it feels like the world can swallow you up. betterhelp is here to, well, help.

I had some pretty heavy things all compound into one in 2020 (like so many others), and after signing up for betterhelp, within a couple hours I already had a response from my new counselor, and I'd set up a session to meet with her just two days later. I can send her my journal entries, we can chat via text, call, or video, and I've learned so much more beyond emotionally resolving the heavy things. I recommend betterhelp all the time to my friends, family, and even a couple co-workers. It is so convenient and much more affordable and accessible than an in-person therapy session.

My counselor and counseling guidance have been a help to me to manage daily stresses in a healthy way with confidence. My emotional overwhelm before counseling was greater than my fear of using technology to seek and to engage in counseling. The combined telephone and online experiences allowed a "good fit" in discerning an appropriate counselor to meet my individual needs. The session-formats (phone, text/blog, video chat) are easy to implement, accomodate communication preferences, and have been effective for me. I and my family have benefitted from the experience and recommend it to others.

I feel so grateful to have found Betterhelp.com. I was at my wits end, and I probably would have never given it a chance had I not already tried everything else. Not only was I partnered with a skillful, compassionate and truly helpful therapist, this platform allowed me a way to communicate with her that made me feel safe. With the opportunity for texting back and forth, rather than just video or phone conversations, I finally found the courage to be open and honest in a way I never have before with anyone else! Finally, I'm being offered real answers and a new perspective I didn't even know was possible. I would highly recommend betterhelp.com to anyone looking to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It's worth every penny!

I have enjoyed working with my counselor on Better Help. This platform has allowed me to reach out and get the help I need when I need it. It is great that I know I can have a session on my lunch break or at home after work instead of having to take a half day at work.

You guys have given me a safe option for therapy. Thank you.
