I’m suffering from anxiety-related panic attacks and looking to have 1on1 video sessions with a therapist to relieve stress. Ideally available on demand but I’m open to try any good therapy at this point.
Check out healthy gamer gg on YouTube and Twitch. Will point you in the right direction.
Thanks! Has it helped you personally? If yes, then in what regard?
I highly recommend finding a therapist in the normal manner and then confirming that they offer telehealth (I suspect most do), as opposed to BetterHelp and all those types of services. I have a great local therapist but if I’m ever not up to or can’t come in, we just hop on a video call. It’s good to have the option of going in person, even if you don’t think you’re there yet.
This is exactly what I did, after having a bad experience with one of those services. It’s like night and day, honestly.
This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.
At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier
I’m sorry I don’t have a good suggestion. Just please, don’t use BetterHelp. They have already been caught selling health data to advertisers.
That was my immediate thought. No suggestion other than NOT BetterHelp.
Can you narrow it down to a specific country? Licensure and regulation will likely vary on a per-country basis. Assuming you’re not in the US based on the global availability stipulation, but if you are, psychologytoday.com is a good place to start.
Lots of therapists do zoom sessions.

You sound really angry. Have you thought about finding a therapist?

Please don’t listen to this moron. An actual licensed professional who has studied to actually help you will fucking help you, not a fucking youtube video.

I am not claiming the video author is a moron, I am calling you a moron for suggesting that a YouTube video series is a replacement for an actual fucking therapist.
