I strongly recommend BetterHelp as an effective online counseling service. Before the COVID-19 crisis, I probably wouldn’t have considered online therapy, but as it turns out I like it quite a lot. My therapist only uses written messaging for communication and it works well for me since it gives me a chance to think about what I want to say, and then I can take my time reading his responses and reviewing them as many times as I need to. It helps me to remember the advice better than if it was just spoken.
My therapist has many years of experience and is very wise, and he also sends me a lot of excerpts from articles that pertain to my situation, but he uses humor and plain language as well. He is very supportive and makes me feel good about myself, while offering constructive suggestions for ways that I could better handle various situations that would be healthier for me. He also doesn’t judge me.
I have found it extremely helpful in navigating through some confusing and destructive relationship issues in my life, so I would recommend BetterHelp to anyone looking for online counseling, and I actually have recommended it to my friends!
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
