which will make the expense more affordable for you…Betterhelp French Speaking… overall and after that based upon your answers to your questions 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 however that’s not always the case and i believe that better help offers both types of mental health professionals so simply 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 first official conference 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 alternatives 3 actually to me however they state it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s absolutely helpful for some individuals who are perhaps a bit more nervous about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that 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 after that you wait on your therapist to join 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 throughout your very first session you’re probably going to have just a learn more about you type of session to determine why are you interested in treatment what things do you want 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 very first conference and then with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can talk about your problems and whatever it is that you wish to resolve and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i think this does vary by counselor but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have spent for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very accessible and really convenient for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can choose a variety of various methods to consult with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are 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 said in my opinion the platform and the app is not very good in fact it kind of draws particularly thinking about that better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i indicate i guess they’re selling the network but i believe actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp French Speaking
