BetterHelp.com Licensed Professional Counselor Review

How easy the platform is to use

Licensed Professional Counselor (Current Employee) - Louisiana - May 12, 2021

I am particularly impressed by the ease of use on their counseling platform, My video , phone and chat sessions are taking place with little to no technical problems, If there are issues, the company is highly responsive and gives me the exact information that I need to address it, It’s so easy to message clients , assign worksheets, and view their journal writings,

Pros

Compensation is competitive, You don’t have to beg for clients, They care, about clients and hold counselors to very high standards.

Cons

Sometimes the email alerts can be a bit too much, But I know they just want to make sure Counselors follow-up in a timely manner.

Remote and convenient with flexible scheduling; but sometimes NO CLIENTS NO PAY. RISKY.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) (Current Employee) - Remote - June 11, 2022

Remote and convenient. I love that. What stands out the training is fast and convenient. You will love it if you get clients then you can make more money. The pay starts at 30/35 and goes up not too good.Troubling sometime not to have clients to see so you will have nothing. Wish they could do regular employment so you are sure to have job.

Pros

Everything is in one place and it is remote. You do not have to worry about COVID.

Cons

Clients not available.

Good for therapists who want something in addition to their regular work.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) (Current Employee) - Wisconsin - May 28, 2022

I have really enjoyed working for BH for the last 6 months. Flexibility is nice. I get to choose my patients. Pay could be better ($30-75 hr-it goes up the more you work). That being said- I make more with BH after I've worked the initial 5-10 hours than I do at my clinical hospital job as a therapist. It's a good way to pull in extra income and you don't have to work with patients you don't feel comfortable with.

Pros

Flexible Schedule, choose your own patients, easy platform, weekly pay

Cons

Healthcare is not offered right away, only when you work a certain amount of hours. Pay structure could be different or better, you need to be confident in your practice because there is very little support clinically.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) (Current Employee) - Texas - May 17, 2022

Great place to work! I can easily set my own schedule which allows me to build my caseload and tailor it to give excellent quality care to the mental health needs of those who are in need of my help. I meet exciting Professionals from different parts of the US and an afforded the ability to collaborate with colleagues in a seamless process. Working here, am able to do what I am trained for, love doing, and help others in the process. Very rewarding!
