I belong to Better Help, which is a online therapy service, I spoke to someone fro close to a year and it went no where, I change in July and since then the therapist rebooked three appointment, one at the very last minute and is now taking a 3 week vacation

I told her politely of my dissatisfaction with her and found another provider at the service, I am at a point in my life where I look out for me and my husband.

I am pretty sure I did the right thing

I am old fashion. Therapy is either in person,

tele-visit or by phone. 

Please go back to the doctor who recommended you go to therapy and find someone else. 

I went to the website, and did the questions. I hope the therapist does a proper intake interview. 

I do hope you are able to find someone who can help.

I believed you were doing phone therapy. 

Please ask a medical professional to recommend you a local therapist who provides therapy over the phone.

@I am still oxox  I am a licensed consulting psychologist . Effective therapy is done in person or bia telemed. A good therapist listens to what is being said and the accompanying body language.

Most insurance plans cover a certain amount of sessions. I recommend that you go back to your referring doctor and request a new referral. 

It makes sense that you have not made progress. That is why I would suggest a change.

best of luck.

@sydsgma1  Most therapists do no take medicare, which is why I do Better Help.

No one recommended that I talk to a therapist it was a personal decision

@I am still oxox 

I have pretty much "been at that point of my life" my whole adulthood, slightly even before. 

My mother took care of me as a child, but as an adult I knew, if I did not take care of ME, why would I think someone else would?

Of course you did the right thing. You did exactly what I would have done, and HAVE DONE, many times in my life. Tell people how I feel, no beating around the Mulberry!
