If you are living with a mental illness, the trained counselors at BetterHelp can support you in developing coping skills for your condition. Over a million people live with mental illness, but your health plan probably covers online counseling. Swimmer Michael Phelps has been vocal about how much therapy helped him deal with his mental health concerns, and you can be like Michael when you create an account at BetterHelp. For those living with bipolar disorder, an online therapist can help you work on strategies to cope with mood fluctuations between depression and mania, at minimum. If you’re taking medicine for your mental illness, your counselor can support you while you continue with medication management with an outside provider, such as a psychiatrist. (In case of emergency, please contact 911 or utilize emergency resources, not this website.)

Online counselors can help you learn to manage depression, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and short term or recurring stress, which are among the common issues our customers can talk about in therapy. Online therapy is different than support group programs. You are receiving the caring ear of a mental health provider who is dedicated to your mental wellness. You can think of them as a doctor on demand.

With unlimited messaging therapy, you can connect with your online therapist between sessions to get support. Sometimes you need to get thoughts off your chest, and you don’t want to forget them between sessions. That’s where unlimited messaging therapy can be extremely useful in helping you manage day-to-day anxiety, depression, and stress. You can write a message to your online counselor, a licensed mental health professional, even when you’re not in session. It’s a rare advantage to have this much access to your therapist; especially when you’re not seeing them in a full session. Unlimited messaging therapy helps people feel connected to their therapist anytime they feel alone. It’s like having a doctor on demand. Messaging an online counselor is a great option for teen counseling. Many teens are more comfortable expressing their emotions through text rather than phone, or video. Each person has a specific way they feel the most comfortable communicating their feelings, and that’s why online counseling is so versatile.

Thousands of counselors, licensed mental health professionals, from across the world are ready to connect with you to address your mental health needs, providing the support and therapy services you need; meaning you can get matched with a therapist anytime that's best suited for you (versus scheduling issues with an in-office therapy business).
