last thoughts on whether i would recommend much better…Better Help Billing Period… assistance and whether i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that do not know betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects people who are searching for therapy or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a quite easy process to get started so first you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better help match you with a therapist or a counselor so after you fill out what i would call a quite prolonged questionnaire they ask you to create an account and after that you set up your payment choices i’ll talk about this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and then you can likewise alter your choice on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive but you can likewise pay beforehand which will make the expense less expensive for you total and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly discussed survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i think that much better assistance offers both types of mental health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your very first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls however it is great to know that all four alternatives 3 truly to me but they state it’s 4 are offered and i know that’s certainly helpful for some people who are possibly a bit more anxious about therapy or not interested in doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and after that you wait for your counselor to sign up with and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your conference during your very first session you’re probably going to have simply a learn more about you kind of session to determine why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to address what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference and then with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can discuss your issues and whatever it is that you want to attend to and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i believe this does vary by therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have spent for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the most significant pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it extremely available and extremely hassle-free for the majority of people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a range of different ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or telephone call they send you tips about your appointment so it’s quite difficult to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail tips and text tips and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely effective and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anyone who utilizes betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no additional expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of draws specifically thinking about that much better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i imply i guess they’re selling the network but i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing Better Help Billing Period
or messaging or talking throughout a session images are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse select the picture then put it in and after that the person can’t see a sneak peek of the image they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply very out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages do not send it in fact creates a line break so
