The main thing I appreciate is that Holly is flexible about meeting with me. I have a very small window of availability, and she has worked her schedule in order to accommodate that. Also, in terms of the therapy itself, I really appreciate being able to integrate the overall BetterHelp application with the specific counseling that Holly is providing. The entire package is easy to use which removes the potential barrier/friction of getting help in the first place.
