How we help
Comparing platforms and making recommendations.
What we compare
We evaluate online therapy platforms based on the factors that actually matter. Not marketing claims, not celebrity endorsements, just the practical details that will affect your experience.
For every platform we review, we consider session formats (video, phone, text, or messaging), therapist matching quality, pricing, insurance acceptance, ease of switching therapists, cancellation policies, and the overall experience from sign-up through your first session.
How we recommend
Our recommendation quiz will ask you questions about what you're looking for, your preferred session format, your budget, and whether you want to use insurance. Based on your answers, we'll match you to the 2-3 platforms that best fit your specific situation.
Someone looking for affordable text-based therapy for anxiety will get different recommendations than someone looking for video-based couples counseling with insurance coverage. The whole point is that your recommendation is tailored to you.
What we don't do
We don't rank platforms based on who pays us more. We don't provide clinical advice or therapy. We don't collect or store any health information. And we don't pretend every platform is great. If something has real weaknesses, we'll tell you.
Our goal is simple: help you feel confident in your choice so you can focus on what actually matters, which is getting started.
