BetterHelp:

A brief controversy spurred by YouTube creators in 2018 has many people still believing that BetterHelp uses unlicensed counselors, even though the founder swiftly debunked that claim. That’s probably why there’s now an enormous counselor directory on the site (available even to nonmembers) showing degrees, license numbers, specialties, and customer reviews for every provider. After taking a brief multiple-choice quiz to collect background information, you’re matched with an available therapist. Many reviewers who say they had trouble connecting with a therapist in the past say their BH counselor “understands me” or is “a perfect fit.” Quite a few mention the group webinars, which cover

topics such as “The Power of Saying No” and “Building Blocks of Happiness.”

Price: $240 to $320 per month, depending on commitment. The price includes unlimited text-based therapy and a weekly 45-minute live session.

Insurance: No.
