Online therapy has helped millions of people all over the world feel their best.
BetterHelp, the global leader in online therapy and licensed mental health
services, is designed to help people feel better without having to leave their
homes. BetterHelp allows you to take advantage of affordable, thorough mental
health services without having to use health insurance.

Our platform matches people with licensed therapists who have completed rigorous
training. The convenient and effective online therapy that BetterHelp provides
can help with common mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, as
well as everyday life challenges. If you are considering online therapy, you can
easily start your journey today by filling out a quick questionnaire and getting
matched with a therapist who is right for you—and who can change your
circumstances in a positive way. Don't let a commute, high costs, or a lack of
mental health professionals in your area prevent you from getting the support
you need. Choose online therapy.

WHAT IS IT?Online Therapy Services With A BetterHelp Therapist

A licensed BetterHelp therapist can address anything from depression, anxiety,
and anger to parenting challenges, relationship issues, and concerns related to
trauma. Online therapy is designed to make it as easy as possible to get the
help and support you need without ever leaving the house.

The 25,000+ licensed mental health professionals currently available for online
appointments on the BetterHelp platform are experienced practitioners with
varying areas of expertise. Our online therapists come from a wide array of
backgrounds, practices, beliefs, and cultures. Some providers can help with very
specific and/or difficult challenges. If you prefer a therapist who has
experience with a certain area of concern, BetterHelp can match you with the
right mental health professional.

Some mental health care approaches and specialties that our therapists focus on
include marriage and family therapy, couples counseling, addiction counseling,
career counseling, gender-affirming therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and
existential therapy.

BetterHelp counseling is considered one of the best online therapy sites, partly
because it offers affordable therapy as an alternative to in-office therapy.
In-person therapy often costs $75 to $200 per session, compared to $60 to $90
per week—charged every four weeks—which is what BetterHelp memberships cost.
BetterHelp allows therapists to communicate with their patients remotely,
through messaging, phone calls, video calls, or live chat; all of which can be
easily done on a variety of devices. By choosing what method works best for you,
you can get the help you need, when and how you need it.

Benefits Of Online Therapy With A BetterHelp Therapist in 2023 - What Should You
Know?
Accessible And Affordable

One of the biggest differences between online therapy and traditional in-person
therapy is that you can communicate with your therapist almost anytime, from
anywhere that has a stable internet connection. You’ll have weekly, biweekly, or
monthly sessions (whichever works best for you). In addition, you can message
your therapist anytime through the secure, encrypted mobile app. You’ll receive
a notification once they have responded.

Online therapy costs less ($60 to $90 per week) because therapists are able to
work remotely and thus don't have certain expenses, such as rent for an
in-person office space. Often, high overhead is why in-person therapy ranges
from $75 to $200 per session, which can be too expensive for many people.

Working through an online platform can help keep therapists’ costs lower and
allow them to reach a more diverse audience in an effective manner.

As mentioned above, the cost of counseling on BetterHelp ranges from $60 to $90
per week, billed every 4 weeks, which can be less expensive than in-person
services. Plus, unlike many other areas of healthcare, you can cancel your
membership at any time, for any reason. Additionally, financial aid is offered
to those who qualify.

No Location Or Insurance Issues

While many cities and big metropolitan areas (Los Angeles, New York, Houston,
etc.) generally have a large number of therapists available, these locations
only make up a portion of the country. Rural and suburban areas generally have
fewer therapists, meaning appointments can fill up quickly and there might not
be many therapists to choose from. BetterHelp seeks to fill that gap by offering
therapy anywhere there is an internet connection.

Online therapy sessions are convenient for people who are not in a geographical
location with easy access to a therapist. It is also an effective solution for
people who don't have the reliable transportation often needed for in-person
therapy appointments.

With BetterHelp, you can schedule a therapy appointment simply by logging onto
your phone, tablet, or computer, without paying the often-excessive fees often
associated with this kind of support or utilizing health insurance.

Comfort

Some people have trouble speaking to a new therapist face to face in a private
office or practice. Online therapy allows those who aren’t comfortable
interacting with a therapist in person to have an alternative form of
communication that could help them open up.

Whether through messaging, live chat sessions, video calls, or other forms of
communication, building a relationship with your therapist remotely can be
effective and comfortable. In fact, many people prefer a therapist who works
with them via an online platform like BetterHelp.

Privacy

Privacy is an important concern for many when it comes to mental health care.
With online therapy, there is no risk of bumping into someone you know, having
someone see you pull up to the therapist's office, or discussing your treatment
with anyone but your therapist. This is another benefit of not having to leave
the house for psychotherapy sessions.

Additionally, your BetterHelp therapy room and private information you share
with your therapist is encrypted with bank-level encryption. You also have the
option not to use your real name and use an email address that does not directly
identify you when you set up your account with us. If you'd like to learn more
about BetterHelp's privacy policy, you can read our entire disclosure here.

Accessibility

People with disabilities or transportation concerns may find the traveling
required to visit a therapist's office every week to be a barrier to treatment.
Working with a therapist online completely removes the need for typical
in-office therapy sessions. An increasing number of people appreciate the
features often associated with technology-based therapy, such as messaging, live
chat, phone calls, and videoconferencing.

These modalities allow everyone to find available therapists to work with
through their preferred communication method, all without any need to leave the
home. BetterHelp’s online therapy platform has helped more than 3 million people
around the world address their mental health concerns.

Easy And Flexible Scheduling

It can be difficult for traditional therapy to fit into your schedule if you
have a busy lifestyle that makes it hard to find a free hour. Working with a
therapist online means you can message them any time you need, and they will
respond as soon as they’re able (usually within 24 hours), offering you
counseling and support outside of sessions. You’ll receive a notification when
your therapist responds, and you can also see their session availability on a
calendar in advance.

If your matched therapist doesn't feel like a perfect fit for some reason, keep
in mind that it is easy to switch therapists. All of this contributes to you
being able to build a useful and healthy relationship with your therapist. Start
building that therapeutic relationship today by choosing online therapy to help
you improve your mental health and make positive changes in your life!


Online Therapy Communication Types - How Does Communication Happen?


MESSAGING THERAPY

Sending a message to your therapist allows you to take your time and write more,
which in turn allows the therapist to formulate a more detailed response. It’s
also helpful if you want to note something you’d like to discuss in your next
live session.


LIVE CHAT THERAPY

Live chat is similar to messaging, except you will receive live responses
throughout the duration of your session. This can be a great option if you need
to take your psychotherapy session someplace that isn’t private, such as a cafe,
or if you aren’t yet comfortable speaking through a phone or video call.


VOICE CALL THERAPY

Using your mobile phone or the BetterHelp app, you can speak to your therapist
through voice calls, similar to talking on a phone. This allows for tone and
emotions to come through, although you will not see each other’s faces.


VIDEO THERAPY

Video therapy is ideal if you want an experience that is comparable to seeing a
therapist in person. You will be able to see each other’s body language and hear
each other’s tone of voice. We recommend this type of session as it often
provides the most impactful therapeutic alliance and can produce the best
results.


Is Online TherapyRight For You?

Affordable Cost

For many people interested in psychotherapy in the United States, finding an
affordable option can be a challenge, especially with in-person sessions ranging
from $75 to $200 per session. This is a primary reason why working with a
licensed therapist at BetterHelp has become increasingly popular, costing only
$60 to $90 per week (billed every four weeks). Even if you work with a
traditional health insurance company, it can be a struggle to find a therapist
who accepts your particular insurance, which can mean paying high out-of-pocket
costs. Learn more about how much therapy usually costs through our platform when
compared to others.


Sessions

There are a variety of ways internet-based therapy can work, including unlimited
messaging, phone calls, live chat, or videoconferencing. This means visiting a
therapist's office in person isn't required for BetterHelp sessions; it’s easy
to start using the platform, which is why many people have utilized online
therapy to positively change their circumstances. Sessions are personalized to
you based on the areas of concern you’d like to address, such as anxiety,
depression, anger, eating disorders, panic disorder, parenting, career goals,
bad habits, substance use, social issues, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder,
and other life challenges.


Relationship, Family, And Child Care

If you're looking to receive long-term mental health support for your
child/teenager, need a family are seeking relationship therapy, or want to
recommend any of these options to a friend, we can help. On our ReGain.us
website, couples therapy is provided by thousands of marriage and relationship
therapists. We also have a platform just for parents and teens between the ages
of 13-19 years old: TeenCounseling. These are both sister sites of BetterHelp,
functioning in much the same way and offering the same technology and benefits.


Virtual Video Chat, Phone & Talk Therapy Sessions For Your Comfort

People express their emotions in different ways. It's not always easy being open
and honest about your feelings while sitting in a therapist’s office. It could
exacerbate anxious feelings for people with social anxiety and can make them
feel like shutting down. If you live with social anxiety, or a similar condition
that might make it difficult to share your feelings in person, you can take
extra time on BetterHelp to get comfortable with your therapist. You can start
with messaging and build up to sessions that are via videoconference, live chat,
or phone call—whatever you are most comfortable with. Keep in mind that you can
change your communication method at any time.

There's something special about communicating with a therapist in the privacy of
your own home or a comfortable space that you've chosen for your online
sessions. With a traditional therapist, you're in a new environment during a
session. The therapist typically chooses the location of treatment, and you may
feel like a visitor in their space, which can be challenging for long-term
therapeutic solutions. All of this can potentially get in the way of feeling
comfortable enough to properly open up.

With online counseling, you're in control of where you receive care for your
concerns. If you're experiencing anxiety, sometimes being in familiar
surroundings helps, rather than having to be in an environment you're unfamiliar
with. With BetterHelp, you choose the surroundings, and you control when and how
you get the help you need.


Help With Depression, Anxiety & Mental Health Support Via Therapist Diversity

After you sign up with BetterHelp, you will be matched with a licensed therapist
from our network of over 20,000 professionals. When you're looking through your
health insurance company's list of providers, you may not see a therapist who
treats your issues or one who is best suited for you. With BetterHelp, you can
change your therapist with a simple click of a button until you find one who is
a good match, all while getting care that is overall more affordable than
in-person therapy (which is generally $75, $80, or $200 per session, compared to
$60 or $65 to $90 using our service), whether you have insurance or not.

We strongly believe our clients should have the choice to be matched with
someone who is a good fit for them, so feel free to change providers to ensure
you’re matched with a therapist who works for you. There is no hassle or
frustration when making a change in provider.


Common Concerns Of Online Therapy -
What Are People Concerned About?

Best Source Of Professional Licensed Virtual Therapists With Credentials

All therapists at BetterHelp are licensed, trained, and accredited psychologists
(PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers
(LCSW / LMSW), or professional counselors (LPC). Many therapists on our platform
are doctors of psychology. Every psychotherapist on our platform must pass
through multiple rounds of assessments and interviews, including a rigorous
background check to verify their credentials through their state’s licensing
board. Some of our therapists have a master’s degree, along with 1,000 clinical
hours and three years' worth of experience. We want our users to benefit
from evidenced based psychotherapies and we want to ensure that the advice and
support they receive on our platform comes from someone who is licensed and

relationship issues, communication problems, phobias, and other mental health
concerns through therapy modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, couples
therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Through therapy, you can receive
techniques and solutions to cope with the challenges of everyday life.

BetterHelp In The News


ALL-YOU-CAN-TEXT THERAPY SERVICES

By Joshua Fruhlinger

“My BetterHelp therapist asked the same kinds of thought-provoking questions as
the traditional therapists I worked with in the past. (What is it about your
future that you’re unsure of? Can you tell me about your old life and what is
different now?) Because of the continuing, open-ended nature of the text chat,
however, she helped me identify anxiety triggers and coping mechanisms much
faster than it would have taken had we met only once a week. What’s more, I came
to find that launching the BetterHelp site on my smartphone or laptop and
writing out my thoughts became therapeutic in itself.”

“A lot of the user base that’s interested are people who have never set foot in
a therapist’s office,” says Haesue Jo, a licensed therapist and clinical support
lead at BetterHelp, an online counseling and therapy service that provides
web-based, phone, and text interaction. “This is a way for people to stick their
toe in the water if they’ve been fearful of talking to a therapist before.”


THERAPY CHANGING AS PEOPLE SEEK MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

By Jennifer Nelson


ONLINE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES SPIKE UP DURING PANDEMIC

By Bambi Francisco Roizen

“We’ve heard from our therapists how Coronavirus increased the level of anxiety
with their current clients. We’ve also seen a spike in people starting online
therapy with us,’ Alon Matas, President of Teladoc’s BetterHelp, told me. ‘The
number of new members with concerns of stress and anxiety in February more than
doubled vs. February of last year, and this trend is accelerating in March.’
BetterHelp provided free service for clients who have been financially impacted
by the outbreak (e.g., layoff or loss of income). The company is offering
financial aid for a new client that can cover nearly 50% of the counseling cost.
Counselors will still be paid, but BetterHelp will subsidize the loss.”




FREQUENTLY ASKED

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Online Therapy Sessions
How much is online therapy?

The cost of online therapy varies by platform. BetterHelp ranges from $60 to $90
per week (billed every four weeks) for unlimited messaging and a weekly video,
phone, or live chat session with a licensed mental health professional. This is
much less than the national US market average ($125-$199) for therapy
appointments, while offering even more ways to communicate with your therapist.

BetterHelp therapy online also offers a financial aid discount to those who
qualify; which, for some people, is the best option when choosing an online
therapy provider. Reach out to us at contact@betterhelp.com if you have any
questions about the cost of using BetterHelp, the online therapy service global
leader. Don't let mental health conditions you're concerned about go unchecked
due to a busy schedule when we can get you matched and feel comfortable with an
experienced licensed professional counselor.

How can online therapy help me?

Therapy online has changed countless lives for the better; in ways that support
groups and other human services cannot. Research shows (review and
meta-analysis) that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy when
working with a licensed clinical therapist. Online therapy, however, has the
added convenience of allowing you to message your therapist anytime, anywhere to
make follow up easier and for you to feel more comfortable, unlike a support
group. With options for text messaging, live chat, telephone calls, and video
calls, you can choose a method of communication that is most comfortable for
you.

All communication during your calls and video sessions is with a licensed
therapist who is just as qualified as one you would see in an in-person office
visit on a typical Monday through Friday. After filling out a questionnaire and
being matched with a therapist who fits your needs, you can meet with your
therapist for an initial consultation and take a big step on the path to
improved mental health with one of the best online therapy programs available
here at BetterHelp.

If the mental health professional you are initially matched with isn’t a good
fit, you can change therapists easily, no questions asked. This allows you more
time to focus on treatment rather than having to go through your insurance or
call local providers. Be sure to check out therapy reviews from users who have
used our platform to address a variety of concerns, such as anxiety and
depression. This will help you know what to expect when trying this virtual
therapy service via our app.

Does insurance cover online therapy?

This depends on a few factors and varies among insurance plans. BetterHelp does
not officially accept insurance or partner with any insurance providers and
partners, so BetterHelp online therapy isn't for those looking to use their
insurance company directly. However, the Mental Health Parity Act currently
requires that employers and others who provide access to group health plans must
offer equal benefits for medical and mental health-related services that accept
insurance.

As a result, some major health insurance providers now cover or offer
reimbursement for online behavioral and mental health services. The best way to
find out if you can have online counseling covered by your health insurance is
to ask your provider or review your coverage plan online. If you're interested
in more help in this way, you can get a direct recommendation for an online
therapy program that accepts insurance from your health insurance provider.

Does Medicare or Medicaid insurance cover online therapy through BetterHelp?

BetterHelp offers affordable online therapy (typically $60 to $90 per week,
billed monthly) with experienced and licensed therapists who can provide the
support and therapeutic treatment you need. In some cases, out-of-pocket costs
for therapy can be reimbursed by your health insurance provider.

If you aren’t sure whether your health plan provides insurance coverage for
therapy costs, reach out to your Medicare or Medicaid insurance provider before
your first appointment. You can find the contact information for your Medicare
or Medicaid provider on the back of your health insurance card. Much of the same
can be said about using FSA or HSA cards on our platform. To learn more about
our online therapy cost, employee assistance, or other details about how much
appointments cost on this platform, please reach out to our support team.

Does BetterHelp offer free online therapy?

The therapy services offered at BetterHelp are not free or on a trial basis. As
the leading global provider of all online therapy platforms, we employ a large,
dedicated team and contract with thousands of licensed therapists and
psychologists to provide convenient, accessible, and affordable online therapy.
Making this happen comes at a cost, which is why we can’t provide the service
for free. That being said, we offer financial aid to those who qualify, making
therapy even more accessible and affordable for those who need the extra help.
Simply reach out to contact@betterhelp.com to find out how to apply.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Many studies have confirmed the effectiveness of online therapy for making
positive life changes, which is why many people prefer online therapy to
traditional in-person therapy. For example, research published by JMIR
Publications and the Berkeley Well-Being Institute found that online counseling
is as effective as in-person therapy.

Whether you decide to seek therapy in person or online, working with an
experienced and licensed therapist can help you address various mental health
and life challenges. We find that our users choose online therapy for anxiety,
stress, grief, depression, and more. In the future, we'll share more details
about the science behind various forms of online therapy and their efficacy.

Andersson, G., & Cuijpers, P. (2009). Internet-based and other computerized
psychological treatments for adult depression: A meta-analysis. Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy (CBT), 38(4), 196-205.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20183695

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Generally speaking, yes the therapy cost on the BetterHelp platform is cheaper
than face to face therapy! While we cannot guarantee that online therapy pricing
is the cheaper option 100% of the time (as in-person session prices will vary by
therapist, location, commission, and insurance plans), we can confidently say
that BetterHelp is more affordable than most other options (given typical
in-person costs of $99 to $200). Online therapy also helps you save money you
may otherwise spend to see a therapist via traditional in-person therapy
sessions, such as gas, bus fares, or parking fees. Try BetterHelp today and see
why it is quickly becoming one of the best online therapy providers available.

How much is an online therapy session?

The cost of therapy through BetterHelp subscription options ranges from $60 to
$90 per week (billed every 4 weeks as a subscription plan), based on your
location, preferences, budget, and therapist availability. Customers can cancel
their membership at any time for any reason. Your membership payments will be
charged to a credit card or PayPal account on a recurring basis. If you
accomplish your goals or no longer need BetterHelp’s affordable online therapy
services for any other reason (even if you need financial assistance), you can
simply cancel your subscription.

What are the disadvantages of the best online therapy counseling services with a
BetterHelp therapist?

Online therapy has been found to be just as effective, and sometimes more
effective, than in-person therapy when it comes to treating common mental health
concerns such as depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, online counseling is not
recommended for those struggling with more serious mental health concerns such
as psychosis or suicidal thoughts. If BetterHelp is not the best fit for you,
our member advocate team can refer you to a local in-person psychologist who can
help you follow a therapy process that is more suitable for you.

Can counseling help with depression?

Counseling can help with symptoms of depression. Review this comparison between
online therapy and face-to-face therapy for depression (a common mental
illness).

Internet-based versus face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for
depression: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial.

How often should you go to therapy?

Most people who see a therapist, whether in person or online, have a session
once a week. This allows a steady pace of communication, with healthy reflection
between sessions, which is why we encourage you to chat with your therapist.
BetterHelp subscription plans include one live session per week along with
unlimited messaging with your therapist. If you would like more than one session
a week, you can let your therapist know and reach out to the member advocate
team to make an adjustment to your subscription plan. Ultimately, it's up to you
how much you want to use the service. The best way to make use of a BetterHelp
subscription is to have weekly live sessions with messages, journal writing,
assigned worksheets, and group sessions with our communities in between.

Is BetterHelp actually good?

BetterHelp is the leading online counseling platform in the industry for a
reason. It has the largest selection of therapists and psychologists. With over
two million sessions completed and thousands of positive reviews (generally 4-5
stars) reported by actual users, it's clear that BetterHelp is a great option
for improving mental health and addressing everyday life challenges. Of course,
psychotherapy is what you make of it and depends on how willing you are to work
on yourself. If you put in the effort with a therapist who is a good fit for
you, we're confident that you'll join the thousands of others who have left
positive reviews.

Is therapy over the phone effective?

Therapy in any form can be effective, with phone sessions being an excellent
option for those who struggle communicating in other formats. On the phone, you
have freedom of movement, which helps many organize their thoughts. Although
your therapist won't be able to read your body language or see your facial
expressions, they can still hear your tone of voice, which can help them add a
layer of insight to the words you say. BetterHelp gives you multiple options for
communicating with your therapist, so we encourage you to use the methods that
work best for you.

Do therapists prescribe medication?

Therapists typically do not prescribe medication, and BetterHelp does not offer
prescriptions or medication management services at this time. For mental health
medication, please reach out to medical professionals such as a doctor or
psychiatrist.

Are BetterHelp therapists licensed?

All therapists at BetterHelp are licensed, trained, and accredited psychologists
(PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers
(LCSW / LMSW), or professional counselors (LPC). Our team ensures that every
provider we bring to the platform is fully licensed and in good standing.
Providers who apply are required to provide proper documentation of licensure
and proof of identity, which are cross-checked with their respective state
licensing board.

Additionally, each potential provider needs to complete a case study exam, which
is graded by a licensed clinician, and must be evaluated in a video interview.
The result of this rigorous process is that only about 20% of the therapists who
apply are accepted to the platform. We show the full licensing information for
each provider in their profile to make it easy for you to do your own due
diligence on your therapist.

How long do online therapy sessions last?

The length of a BetterHelp online therapy session depends on the therapist
you're matched with and the program they put in place for your benefit. Most
therapists on our platform offer one 30-45 minute live therapy session per week.

If you would like longer or more frequent appointments with your online
counselor, please reach out to the member advocate team to see if this is
something we can accommodate with your subscription. Outside of your weekly live
session, you can message your therapist at any time, and they will respond when
they are able.

How much does it cost to talk to a virtual therapist?

The cost of virtual therapy at BetterHelp ranges from $60 to $90, billed every
four weeks via one of our subscription plans. When compared to most face-to-face
therapy appointments, the cost of online counseling via BetterHelp is typically
lower.

These are some of the reasons why people use the BetterHelp platform. It has
never been easier to search for a counselor who focuses on helping their client
make progress with common mental health concerns like severe depression or
anxiety. Getting started with a therapy that specializes in matters that you're
focused on improving doesn't have to be a challenge; it only takes a few minutes
after selecting one of our payment options.

What are the pros of online counseling?

Online counseling has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it offers
a number of advantages that make it a great option for those seeking mental
health support. One of the biggest pros of online counseling is the flexibility
it provides; many online counseling services offer month-to-month plans that
include unlimited messaging and video counseling sessions with your therapist.
Another great benefit of online counseling is the ability to connect with your
therapist at any time. On the BetterHelp platform, this makes it easy to
schedule counseling sessions at times that are convenient for you, and you can
even message your counselor in between sessions if you need to.

In addition, online counseling services offer a wide range of options when it
comes to finding the right therapist. The BetterHelp online platform allows you
to compare the best online mental health counselors and switch counselors if you
feel it is necessary. You can even find specialized therapists for different
types of counseling, such as teen counseling, relationship counseling, family
counseling, faith-based counseling, and long-distance counseling. Customer
reviews (on our reviews page and others like trust pilot reviews) can also be
helpful in finding the best online counseling platform for you; many of them
have reviews on Trustpilot, etc so you can read both negative and positive
reviews from past customers. Positive reviews often mention how helpful the
counselors were and how their counseling sessions were beneficial.

Overall, the pros of online counseling are numerous. Online counseling offers
flexibility, the ability to connect with your licensed counselor at any time,
and a wide range of counselors to choose from; BetterHelp has more than 30,000
licensed counselors currently. Regardless of what type of counseling you need,
online counseling services here are a great way to access mental health
counselors that offers sessions from the comfort of your home.

What are the cons of online counseling?

Online counseling has grown in popularity due to the convenience, lower cost,
and accessibility it provides compared to traditional counseling. However, there
are some drawbacks to online counseling that should be considered.

One of the cons of online counseling, according to some users, is that
counselors cannot provide as much detail or form as strong of a relationship
with clients as with traditional counseling. This is because communication is
often limited to text message, emails, or video calls rather than in-person
conversations. Additionally, some people feel that counselors may not be able to
assess physical symptoms of depression or anxiety as easily as they could if the
patient was present in an office.

Another potential drawback of online counseling is that therapists may not
always be available at any time; which is the case for many forms of traditional
counseling. While some online counseling platforms offer unlimited messaging
with a counselor each month, this might not be enough for some clients who
require more frequent communication. Furthermore, long-distance counseling may
also be difficult to maintain long-term due to the lack of in-person connection.

Also, when considering online counseling, it is important to ensure that the
online counselors are licensed (not an issue for our licensed counselors her at
BetterHelp) and that they specialize in the type of counseling being sought. For
example, if someone were seeking depression counseling or marriage counseling,
they would want to make sure that their counselor is experienced in those areas.
It is also important to read reviews to make sure that the positive reviews
outweigh the negative.

Does online counseling help with anxiety?

Yes, online counseling can be a great way to address anxiety. Many services
offer counseling video sessions, allowing you to speak to qualified counselors
at any time. At BetterHelp, we have licensed therapists specializing in anxiety
that are available. By way of our other websites, we even offer faith-based
counseling at FaithfulCounseling.com or online marriage counseling at ReGain.us.

When looking for a provider, be sure to read positive and negative reviews.
Positive reviews often mention how helpful the therapists are and how the
service has helped them to manage their anxiety. Online counseling can be an
effective way to manage anxiety, so be sure to compare the best services to find
one that works for you; whether you’re looking at BetterHelp, Talkspace, Amwell,
etc.

Can online therapists prescribe medication?

No, online therapists cannot prescribe medication. According to the American
Psychological Association (APA), the only mental health professionals who can
prescribe medication for mental health issues are psychiatrists, psychiatric
nurse practitioners, and other medical doctors (MDs). These professionals must
be licensed in the state in which they practice and are subject to other
licensing requirements. Online therapists are not licensed to prescribe
medications, and as such, they cannot provide this service to patients. That
said, it's important to keep in mind that online therapy isn’t the best source
to get medication prescribed for mental health needs. Otherwise, if you're
simply looking to pursue online therapy for your concerns, the BetterHelp
counseling service can help you.

Does online counseling help with ADHD?

The answer to this question is yes. Online counseling can be beneficial for
those with ADHD as it provides a convenient and affordable alternative to
in-person counseling. Virtual counseling can be accessed from the comfort of the
patient's home and has been shown to be effective in treating a range of
conditions, including ADHD.

BetterHelp counselors who provide online counseling services focused on ADHD are
licensed therapists that have received specialized training in the treatment of
ADHD. They offer a variety of treatment options, such as cognitive behavioral
therapy, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation. These therapists are able to assess
a patient's symptoms and offer tailored advice and guidance to help manage the
condition.

Some of our reviews of online counseling for ADHD often mention the convenience
and affordability of the service and how it has helped our users. If you're
ready to try counseling online with BetterHelp, take the first step today and
get matched with a counselor that can help you with issues including anxiety,
depression, and ADHD. Even if moving forward with this kind of online support
isn't the right fit for you because our counselors can’t prescribe medication
for anxiety and ADHD, or you need a platform that accepts insurance, get the
help you need today, whether online or in person.
