which will make the expense more affordable for you…Community And Support Manager At Betterhelp… overall and then based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly pointed out questionnaire 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 assistance provides both types of mental health experts so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to speak to them and you can establish a time to have your first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine telephone call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is excellent to understand that all four options 3 actually to me but they say it’s 4 are offered and i know that’s definitely helpful for some people who are maybe a bit more worried about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uneasy 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 sign up with and they will link 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 very first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you kind of session to find out 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 preferences and what’s their design 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 comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can talk about your issues and whatever it is that you want to resolve and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i believe this does vary by therapist 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 ahead of time to get that more affordable rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online therapy service which makes it extremely accessible and really hassle-free for the majority of people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a range of different ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s quite hard to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail suggestions and text reminders 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 reliable and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp entirely totally free it’s at no extra cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not great in fact it type of draws especially considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re offering the network but i believe actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite clunky there are no choices for screen sharing Community And Support Manager At Betterhelp
or talking or messaging throughout a session pictures are shared very strangely they’re shared as files and you can just send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse choose the picture then put it in and after that the person can’t see a sneak peek of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply extremely out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it really creates a line break so
