A longtime friend recommended this to me after hearing about how overwhelmed and anxious I was. I was questioning in the beginning if it was necessary to talk to someone, but it proved to be just what I needed and more than I had expected. I answered the preliminary questionnaire honestly and was matched with someone that fit my needs really well, and you always have the option to switch therapists if need be but I was thoroughly impressed with the algorithm and the service overall. My therapist has been phenomenal at listening to my thoughts/rants, and weeding out the core of what's bothering me. She asks questions that help me explore myself and it has proven to be the nudge that I needed to dig deeper into myself and take a positive step forward with my goals. Aside from my therapist, one of my favorite parts about the app itself is the resource and worksheet section. After my video sessions, sometimes my therapist will send me informational worksheets and tools that help me work on or guide me through what we talked about that week. They help me see patterns within myself, which has resulted in exploring healthier ways to live my life.

I find BetterHelp a safe place to vent out about my frustrations with life. I am able to manage my anxieties better with the help of my counselor.

the service is great I like that I can basically be in touch with my assigned therapist regularly throughout the week and I don't have to go anywhere I can just log in on my phone or computer and send a message that's been a huge plus for me. I cant stress how relieving it is to be able to send a message to someone and be garunteed a response (weather its a few hours later or the next day) in regards too my problems. I struggle with anxiety, and a lot of times when I get anxious the last thing I wanna do is go driving halfway across the city to see a therapist for 1 hour every 2 or 3 weeks betterhelp has been a boon in that regard as all I do is log in and send a message.

(Jennifer Smith) I joined because I needed to work on one area of my life and I have anxiety, making it hard to make it on time to office visits.I started with one problem, but now, we have explored many different areas of my life and I am making positive changes and feeling much better. It is very informal, like IM'ing all day, which I love. She responds multiple times a day. It does not matter how many pages I write on a topic, she always reads all of it and is able to decipher what I am really saying, or what I really need, or the root of the problem... then we talk through it together. Each message she sends makes me think and work a bit on myself, but is also encouraging and makes me feel better.

I love this, more then I thought. I’m sick of burdening my friends and family with my relationship issues, here’s a way to vent, in writing or live with a neutral person. Listen to u and provide feedback at on ur own time. A journal that talks back!!

BetterHelp helped me connect to a truly good counsellor who is helping me grow a lot, and be much more successful in life.

Convenient counseling. I work 2 jobs, and this is the easiest way for me to talk to someone. My thoughts are more rationalized, im doing more.

The counselor that I have has done her best to provide me with the best resources to help me in my scenario. She is kind and compassionate and sometimes gives me some tough love if she thinks that I need it. I enjoy this app because it gives different ways to be able to do therapy.
