they ask you to create an account …Betterhelp Commercial Actress…and after that you set up your payment preferences i’ll talk about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can reduce the cost and after that you can likewise change your choice on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay beforehand and that will make the expense less expensive for you overall and then based upon your answers to your concerns 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 however that’s not always the case and i believe that better assistance provides both types of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to talk to them and you can set up a time to have your first official 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 however it is great to understand that all four options three actually to me but they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s absolutely great for some people who are possibly a little bit more anxious about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call because 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 await 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 conference during your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a get to know you kind of session to figure out why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as someone attending therapy what are your counselors preferences and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the 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 address 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 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 actually spent for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the greatest pros of much better aid is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it really hassle-free and extremely accessible for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of different ways to meet your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you reminders about your visit so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both email reminders and text reminders and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely efficient and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no extra cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not great in fact it sort of draws especially considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network however i believe actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Betterhelp Commercial Actress
or messaging or talking during a session pictures are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can just send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you have to like browse select the picture then put it in and then the individual can’t see a preview of the photo they have to click into the file to see it it’s just really out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages do not send it really creates a line break so
