I Started Using BetterHelp—Here’s Why I Prefer It to IRL Therapy
Image item
I’ve done traditional therapy—leather couch, free sparkling water from the mini fridge, sound machine humming next door. But when my anxiety spiked this year after moving to a new city, I didn’t have the time (or energy) to chase down referrals and waitlists.
 
After hearing one too many podcast ads, I finally searched “BetterHelp quiz.” It was surprisingly quick, and within 36 hours, I had a therapist who checked all my boxes and was available the next day.
I assumed BetterHelp would just hold me over until I found an in-person therapist. But after a month, I realized I prefer it. Here’s why:
  • It’s flexible: I book sessions around my schedule, even on my lunch break and during the weekends.
  • No awkward breakups: Switching therapists is just a few clicks—no guilt trip required.
  • It’s more affordable: I know what I’m going to be paying and don’t have to book unnecessary sessions I can’t afford.
  • It works: My therapist has given me tools that help right now—not just “see you next week.”
