Counselr: Therapy + Self-Care 12+

I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical about online counseling in general. But Counselr really changed my perspective on what “counseling” can entail. I came into the app with a specific goal in mind (how to navigate relationship hurdles), but I was quickly immersed in a much more personal journey that I didn’t even know I wanted to dig deeper into. It was very easy to discover new opportunities for growth. The advice I received was very pointed and felt non judgmental; it was practical yet personal. I particularly like the focus on gratitude: counseling doesn’t always have to revolve around a problem - it can be an exercise to count your blessings. This alone has done wonders to my general happiness and mental health. Overall, a super convenient alternative to in person counseling and something I can see myself stick to in the long run.

I am so grateful for this app. The freedom to talk about whatever I want, whenever I want, and receive sound, non-judgmental, patient feedback is wonderful. Validation of my feelings accompanied with practical suggestions and advice is the thing I’ve been needing for years. I didn’t expect this app to be as good as it is. It truly feels like texting with a real person. Except better, because it has all the time I need at a price I can afford. Only one day after starting the free trial, I paid for the year subscription. And after using Counselr for only a few days, it has been worth it!

I used Counslr for a problem with my boss. I was delighted with how quickly the app provided suggestions. When I put in more information the advice became even more specific and useful. The best part is that by asking the question of Counslr and getting such immediate but objective advice I didn’t react emotionally in the moment and make the problem worse. I followed some of the advice given and things at work are better now
