they ask you to create an account …Betterhelp.Com Security…and then you established your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the rate and after that you can likewise change your choice on how typically
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay ahead of time which will make the cost more affordable for you general and after that based on your answers to your questions in the previously discussed survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i think that much better help uses both kinds of psychological health professionals so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is excellent to understand that all 4 options 3 really to me however they say it’s four are offered and i understand that’s certainly good for some individuals who are maybe a bit more anxious about treatment or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them unpleasant 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 then you wait for your therapist to join 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 probably going to have simply a get to know you type of session to determine why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to address what are your choices as somebody attending therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will most likely 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 talk about 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 therapist so with my counselor 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 but i have actually spent 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 think one of the most significant pros of much better aid is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it really available and really convenient for most people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a range of various methods to consult with your counselor so you can do text message video calls or call they send you suggestions about your consultation so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both email suggestions and text tips 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 provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anyone who utilizes betterhelp completely for free it’s at no additional cost to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my opinion the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it sort of sucks 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 utilize to link you to their network i indicate i guess they’re offering the network however i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Betterhelp.Com Security
or talking or messaging during a session pictures are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse choose the photo then put it in and after that the person can’t see a preview of the image 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 don’t send it really develops a line break so
