Just not worth it
I did not like the way BetterHelp handled appointments. You pay a weekly fee, whether you can book an appointment or not. If your counselor is booked the next week, you pay anyway. Sure, you have unlimited messaging, but that was not what I was looking for. I would suppose that you pay, even when your counselor goes on vacation. There is no phone support for BetterHelp, so all communications are by email. They were reasonably responsive, but I really prefer being able to speak with someone. Also, there is not complete information on the counselors before you make your selection. Among the missing information is the times they accept appointments and the length of the sessions. I switch counselors once and discovered that my sessions dropped from about sixty minutes to thirty minutes.
