I used BetterHelp mid-pandemic. It's one of the few times I've issued a credit card chargeback.

Their business model is one big scam. You don't pay per-session, you pay per-month. Thus, they oversubscribe their "therapists" (who are almost all independent contractors doing BH as their side gig), and so the incentive is encourage you to book as infrequently as possible.

Once you take that into account, it ends up being as expensive or more than a traditional therapist.
