extremely sincere…Better Help Clinical Case Study… review of better help i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually used it enough time to know what are the pros and cons so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then give you my final thoughts on whether i would recommend better help and whether i think it’s the best service for you for those of you that don’t understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links people who are trying to find therapy or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a quite easy process to get started so initially you fill out an online survey it asks you some concerns that will better assist match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a quite lengthy questionnaire they ask you to create an account and after that you established your payment choices i’ll talk about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can reduce the rate and after that you can likewise alter your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can likewise pay ahead of time which will make the cost more affordable for you general and then based upon your answers to your questions in the previously discussed survey 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 necessarily the case and i believe that much better assistance uses both types of mental health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak to them and you can establish a time to have your very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular phone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is excellent to understand that all 4 options 3 actually to me however they state it’s 4 are readily available and i understand that’s certainly great for some people who are maybe a bit more nervous about treatment or not interested in doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uncomfortable 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 therapist 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 begin having your your meeting during your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a learn more about you kind of session to figure out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to address what are your choices as somebody attending treatment what are your therapists preferences and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference 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 talk about your issues and whatever it is that you want to attend to and then 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 counselor in particular i believe this does differ by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive 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 help is that it is an online therapy service which makes it very available and extremely hassle-free for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a range of different methods to meet with your therapist so you can do text video calls or call they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both email reminders and text reminders and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anyone who uses betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no additional expense to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my opinion the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of sucks especially considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i suggest i guess they’re offering the network however i think truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Better Help Clinical Case Study
or talking or messaging during a session photos 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 select the image then put it in and after that the individual can’t see a sneak peek of the photo they have to click into the file to see it it’s simply very outdated small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it actually produces a line break so
