and that will make the expense less expensive for you…Betterhelp Cancelling… general and then based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that much better aid uses both kinds of mental health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to consult with them and you can set up a time to have your very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls but it is great to know that all 4 options 3 really to me however they say it’s four are available and i understand that’s definitely helpful for some people who are maybe a bit more anxious about treatment or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and then you wait for your therapist to sign up with and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and after that you’re ready to go and you can start having your your meeting throughout your first session you’re probably going to have simply a be familiar with you kind of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
