Very quick and easy process. I've had 3 counselling sessions so far and I'm already feeling improved. The monthly fee entitles you to 1x 30min counselling session per week. It also has a journal where you write in how you are getting on each day and this can be shared with your counselor if you wish, so that they can understand your thoughts and emotions better. This helps them help you even better, guess that's why it's called betterhelp!

I love this app. I was set up with a great counselor who really gives me actionable advice for how to deal with the stressors in my life. It’s convenient to use and now I don’t worry about who to turn to for help!

BetterHelp pairs you up with the appropriate counselor for your specific needs. I have weekly video/phone call sessions with my counselor and I can reach her through messaging whenever I need. I started BetterHelp not too long ago and has already helped me so much, it's very convenient and accommodating for those who have busy lives like me.

Amazing resources such as webinars and video chats which aren’t normally available with other therapists

Great counselor to talk to and help with coping and assisting with goals

This app has made life easier for me. In the past I had to look for someone who took my insurance and had to see if they ever had any openings. This app finds the right therapist for you and you can talk with your therapist whenever you need to. No waiting days for an appointment and you get instant help. Obviously texting them at 3am you aren't gonna get an instant answer but they reply first thing in the morning. It also makes it easier for those of us who feel it's hard to open up to someone face to face. My therapist has also been able to help me through so much in a short time due to the availability on this app. I lucked out and was matched with the right person right away (they ask you a bunch of questions when you sign up to help match you with the right person) but you have the option to change therapists if you don't connect with the one you're matched with. It's also very affordable. I was approved for financial aid and got a semi lower rate to help during my unemployment during the COVID shutdown.

My first experience with the online counselor was not helpful. However, she was honest with me in why she was unable to help me and that encouraged me to seek another counselor as opposed to quit seeking help completely. That’s when I was paired with Dr. Rashad Skinner, who truly helped me with my difficult relationship with my mom. He was insightful, kind, respectful and responsive despite our 12 hour time difference! This was my first time seeking therapy and I’m truly grateful for the experience and for how easy BetterHelp made it due to the online platform and the entire offerings of the site. It’s perfect even for a skeptic like me, especially someone who feels uncomfortable sharing or expressing their feelings and innermost thoughts!

BetterHelp is a great website for finding the right counselor for you. You simply tell them what type of counselor you're looking for and they find someone who matches your profile. From there, you can chat your counselor and learn more about them if you want. You can also schedule your appointments as a phone call or live video. It's so convenient!! Plus there's nothing to lose; if your counselor turns out to not work for you, you can easily get a new one. They even offer worksheets and group activities if you're into that sort of thing. All around, this is the best system I've found for finding a good counselor, and I'm grateful for it.
