Hello hello. I am struggling with anxiety and I feel like I want to talk to a professional but the idea of going to the therapist's office makes me anxious. Have you tried online therapy? What websites? I know there is better help but it is legit?

Hey @kathyW! How are you feeling today?😉

Thank you for starting this discussion. Dealing with anxiety can be very challenging and I hope you will be able to find the right therapy option for yourself. I will tag some members who might want to share their thoughts on the topic.

@Polina.K Good morning. Thank u for starting this thread. I do have therapy, every couple weeks. Used to be in person, now we talk on phone. Never tried Better Help. I'm satisfied w/ treatment I get. I have tried many therapist's. I firmly believe 1 has to pick & choose right fit for them. What are others thoughts?

Thx for reading.

@Polina.K I've never tried it but I am in a group ( My depression team) and there was a lady that did do the online therapy. She really liked it. You don't need to go anywhere to do it. I have to go see my therapist. It stinks. I hope you do what's right for you. Therapy has always been stressful on me trying to find the right one. Good luck.
