and that will make the cost more affordable for you…Betterhelp Counselor Missed Session… total and then based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly discussed questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i think that much better assistance provides both types of mental health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to speak to them and you can set up a time to have your first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is great to understand that all four options 3 truly to me but they state it’s 4 are readily available and i know that’s definitely helpful for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more anxious about treatment or not interested in 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 after that you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your meeting during your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a learn more about you kind of session to find out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody going to treatment what are your therapists preferences 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 problems and whatever it is that you want to address and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i think 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 actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the most significant pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it extremely convenient and extremely accessible for the majority of people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a variety of different ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or call they send you reminders about your appointment so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail tips and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anyone who utilizes betterhelp entirely totally free it’s at no additional cost to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of sucks specifically thinking about that much better help in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re offering the network however i think actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Counselor Missed Session
