How long do BetterHelp sessions last?
Betterhelp has 30 minute blocks but you can request and some therapist will allow up to an hour if you schedule. You can only schedule one live at a time. Typically my clients will do 1x/week tops or some do every other and I have a limited number that just schedule sporadically. BetterHelp offers professional counseling from accredited psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and board-licensed professional counselors. All BetterHelp counselors have a masters degree or doctorate in their field and at least three years and 1,000 hours of experience. Greetings Boss, Yes! You can participate in a session every other week or twice monthly, instead of every week. Please be advised that scheduling is also based on the availability of the counselor. Unlike other platforms that pay their counselors hourly, BetterHelp uses an engagement-based model. Engagement-based models of compensation distribute pay based on each time counselors participate in meaningful interactions with their clients.
How many sessions do I get on BetterHelp?
BetterHelp’s basic plan includes one live session per week. BetterHelp does not set an absolute limit on session length but indicates that most live sessions last 30 to 45 minutes. BetterHelp defines a live session as being either a live video session, a live audio (or phone) session, or a live chat session. BetterHelp has one subscription option, which includes a weekly, 30-minute video, phone, or live texting session. BetterHelp subscriptions also include unlimited messaging with your therapist between sessions, with therapists typically responding within 24 hours. BetterHelp allows users to choose between video, phone, or live chat messages. This variety allows the client to choose their preferred method of communication based on their preferences. With BetterHelp, you can have a live session every week. Your live session can be via video, phone , or live chat. You also have unlimited messaging with your therapist. This means that you can share a concern or a journal entry with her, and she will get back to you within 24 hours often much sooner.
