and that will make the expense less expensive for you…Community & Support Manager Betterhelp.Com… overall and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the previously mentioned questionnaire 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 always the case and i believe that better assistance provides both kinds of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist 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 telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is excellent to understand that all four options 3 truly to me but they say it’s 4 are readily available and i know that’s definitely great for some individuals who are perhaps a bit more anxious about treatment 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 then you wait for your counselor 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 conference throughout your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a be familiar with you type of session to find out why are you interested in treatment what things do you want to address what are your choices as someone attending therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will most likely 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 deeper
sessions where you can talk about your problems and whatever it is that you want to resolve and after that 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 counselor in particular i believe 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 spent for all of my sessions beforehand to get that more affordable rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of better assistance is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it very hassle-free and really accessible for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a variety of various methods to meet with your counselor so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you reminders about your appointment so it’s quite hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail reminders and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly efficient and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anybody who uses betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no additional cost to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it kind of sucks particularly considering that better aid 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 think truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Community & Support Manager Betterhelp.Com
