Frequently asked questions

How do I pay for these services?

Payment methods vary depending on the platform. Some services work on a weekly subscription model you can cancel anytime, while others are cash-pay marketplaces where you pay upfront prices set by the provider. Many platforms also allow you to use major health insurance or employer-sponsored benefits to cover the cost.

Can I get medication if I use an online therapy platform?

Yes, several platforms offer psychiatry and medication management alongside traditional therapy. These services allow you to meet with a psychiatrist for clinical support and prescriptions through video or messaging.

Will these platforms work with my insurance?

It depends on which platform you choose. Some services specialize in matching you with in-network therapists who bill your insurance directly, while others are designed as cash-pay options that don't require insurance at all.

Do I have to meet with a therapist via video call?
