they ask you to develop an account …Actress In Betterhelp Commercial…and after that you established your payment preferences i’ll speak about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and then you can also alter your preference on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can likewise pay in advance which will make the expense less expensive for you overall and after that based on your answers to your questions in the previously pointed out survey 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 believe that better help uses both kinds of mental health experts so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your very first main meeting 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 excellent to know that all 4 choices three actually to me but they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s absolutely good for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more anxious about therapy or not interested in 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 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 then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your meeting during your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you kind of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to address what are your preferences as somebody attending treatment what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first meeting and then with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can speak about your problems and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist 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 but i have actually paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that cheaper rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the greatest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it really available and really hassle-free for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a range of different ways to consult with your counselor so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you reminders about your appointment so it’s quite tough 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 couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely effective and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anybody who uses betterhelp completely free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not very good in fact it sort of sucks especially thinking about that much better help 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 offering the network however i think really 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 Actress In Betterhelp Commercial
or messaging or talking during a session photos are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse select the photo then put it in and after that the person can’t see a sneak peek of the picture they have to click into the file to see it it’s just extremely outdated small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages do not send it really develops a line break so
