last ideas on whether i would advise better…Better Help Therapy Review… help and whether i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects people who are searching for counseling or treatment with psychological health professionals it’s a quite easy procedure to get started so initially you fill out an online survey it asks you some questions that will better assist match you with a counselor or a therapist so after you fill out what i would call a quite lengthy questionnaire they ask you to create an account and then you established your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can reduce the rate and then you can likewise change your preference on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can also pay in advance and that will make the cost more affordable for you general and then based upon your answers to your questions in the previously discussed survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i think that much better assistance uses both kinds of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to speak with them and you can establish a time to have your first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular phone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is great to know that all 4 choices 3 truly to me but they state it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s certainly helpful for some people who are perhaps a little bit more worried about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call since it makes them uneasy 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 await your therapist to sign up with and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your conference during your very first session you’re probably going to have just a get to know you kind of session to determine why are you thinking about treatment what things do you want to resolve what are your preferences as somebody attending therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can discuss your problems and whatever it is that you want to deal with and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i think this does differ by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the most significant pros of much better help is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it very hassle-free and extremely accessible for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a variety of various methods to meet with your counselor so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you pointers about your consultation so it’s quite challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail pointers and text reminders and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely reliable and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to any person who utilizes betterhelp totally for free it’s at no extra cost to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my opinion the platform and the app is not very good in fact it type of draws specifically considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network however i think really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Better Help Therapy Review
