I’m suffering from anxiety-related panic attacks and looking to have 1on1 video sessions with a therapist to relieve stress. Ideally available on demand but I’m open to try any good therapy at this point.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

“You don’t need a psychotherapist, have these pseudoscientific YouTube videos instead!” lmao

Please don’t listen to this moron. An actual licensed professional who has studied to actually help you will fucking help you, not a fucking youtube video.

I am not claiming the video author is a moron, I am calling you a moron for suggesting that a YouTube video series is a replacement for an actual fucking therapist.

I’m sorry I don’t have a good suggestion. Just please, don’t use BetterHelp. They have already been caught selling health data to advertisers.

That was my immediate thought. No suggestion other than NOT BetterHelp.

Any recommendations? Would love to have a “friend for a call” when I’m having an attack. But I live in Asia so might also need it somehow 24/7. A real human only though.

Thank you. Could you try to recommend one decent path then?

Can you narrow it down to a specific country? Licensure and regulation will likely vary on a per-country basis. Assuming you’re not in the US based on the global availability stipulation, but if you are, psychologytoday.com is a good place to start.

I’ve looked at it and it still requires me to choose a country but mine is not on the list (Vietnam).

Thanks! Has it helped you personally? If yes, then in what regard?

Absolutely.

He has so much content and for me he content around dealing with my ADHD and addiction has helped me understand how your brain works against you and provides good tips for doing better at life.

I find he is very open and sometimes blunt, and he adds a sprinkling of memes as his audience skews younger.

The community too, although I don’t engage so much it’s nice to see the comments of people in a similar situation as yourself. Honestly it’s hard to describe. You’d be best looking through his videos, I prefer the longer discussions. Finding one that relates to you and decide for yourself.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts if you do go over to YT and watch some stuff.
