they ask you to develop an account …Girl In Betterhelp Commercial…and after that you established your payment preferences i’ll talk about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can lower the cost and after that you can also alter your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can also pay beforehand and that will make the cost more affordable for you total and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i believe that much better help uses both types of mental health experts so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist 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 phone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls but it is excellent to know that all 4 choices 3 really to me but they state it’s 4 are available and i know that’s absolutely great for some people who are maybe a little bit more anxious about therapy 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 internet 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 for your counselor to join and they will connect 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 first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you type of session to find out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as someone participating in treatment what are your therapists preferences and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can discuss your problems and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i think this does differ by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the biggest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it very practical and very available for the majority of people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a range of various ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or call they send you pointers about your consultation so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text pointers and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anybody who uses betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no additional expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not very good in fact it sort of draws especially considering that better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i mean i guess they’re offering the network however i think truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty clunky there are no options for screen sharing Girl In Betterhelp Commercial
or chatting or messaging during a session photos are shared really 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 select the photo then put it in and then the individual 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 push enter in the chat window your messages do not send it actually produces a line break so
