they ask you to produce an account …Betterhelp Youtube Sponsorships…and after that you established your payment choices 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 but you can likewise pay beforehand which will make the cost cheaper for you overall and after that based on 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 counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i believe that better help provides both kinds of psychological health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to talk with them and you can set up a time to have your first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is great to know that all four choices three truly to me however they state it’s 4 are readily available and i understand that’s absolutely helpful for some individuals who are perhaps a bit more nervous about treatment or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uneasy when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 await your counselor 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 start having your your conference throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a get to know you type of session to find out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to address 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 meeting 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 speak about your issues and whatever it is that you want to deal with 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 differ by therapist however 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 cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the most significant pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service which makes it extremely convenient and very accessible for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of different methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you tips about your appointment so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail suggestions and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly effective and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anybody who uses betterhelp totally for 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 opinion the platform and the app is not great in fact it type of sucks specifically considering that much better aid 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 but i believe really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Youtube Sponsorships
or messaging or chatting throughout a session pictures are shared very 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 need to like browse choose the photo then put it in and then the individual can’t see a preview of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s just really outdated small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages do not send it really produces a line break so
