Online-Therapy.com is built around cognitive behavioral therapy rather than open-ended talk. Every plan includes an eight-section CBT program with 25 worksheets, a journal, an activity plan and yoga and meditation videos, and your therapist replies to worksheets and messages Monday to Friday. The Basic plan is messaging and the program only, at $48 a week for the first month and $60 after that. Standard adds one 45-minute live session a week by video, voice or text for $72 a week in the first month, then $90, and Premium adds two sessions. A couples plan with one joint session a week is also listed. All plans are billed monthly and can be upgraded, downgraded or canceled in a few clicks. The service does not accept direct insurance payments, though you may be able to claim reimbursement. Its 45-minute sessions are longer than Talkspace's 30-minute video slots, but it has no psychiatry.
