Great Platform
The app is excellent for counseling. The services provided is well worth it. I definitely feel like Im getting more from this than what I would get if I had a therapist that I saw in-person in their office. With this service I am getting 24/7 access to counseling in the form of useful tools, live chats, and virtual sessions.
I was hesitant to explore this option for counseling because it seemed impersonal. To my surprise it's been really helpful. The different tools gave me ways to connect - online journals, live chat with therapist whenever you need it, live webinars on relevant topics.
You are given a selection of counselors to choose from who are appropriate for your needs. The location of the counselors/ therapist vary. I thought this would be problematic with scheduling if the counselor was in a different time zone. I ended up with a very experienced and skilled therapist who has been able to meet at convenient times for me. He checks in with me via chat in-between our weekly video meetings. Though not required, the journal is available to help process and organize my thoughts between my sessions.
So far, I think ReGain has been valuable in helping me get on track.
