Online therapy resources

Unread post by purpose »

Hi there!
It's been a long time coming, with a lot of false starts, but I am ready to invest in therapy. I think I really have got to do something about my emotional health so I can to move into the next phase of my life.

There is a slight caveat, though. I am currently working in a small city in Asia and there aren't any therapists here ...but I do have internet access!

Does any one on here know where I can find therapists (pref. American) who do online therapy sessions at reasonable prices? I've found one website (betterhelp [dot] com) but I would like to compare, if possible.

Hi purpose,

Congrats on starting the hunt for a therapist! One starting place is: do you insurance, either through family (like spouse of parents) or through a job? If you do, you can start by looking at the therapists covered by that plan and seeing if any of them offer remote services.

There's also a site I found called breakthrough ( https://www.breakthrough.com/ ) that allows for online therapy sessions, but since that's not one I have direct experience working with I can't make any promises to it's quality. But, it is an option. You can also contact NAMI to see if they have advice on how to find online therapy resources.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

There are a bunch of online therapy options on this person's list: https://medium.com/@lilythegecko/online ... .spje72dn1 and this tumblr has a bunch of options for when you can't access therapy: http://chooserecovery.tumblr.com/post/1 ... n-you-cant

Good luck!
