Online therapy typically costs about $200 to $400 per month for subscription-based platforms like BetterHelp, Talkspace, or similar services.[1][7][10][12]
A more detailed breakdown is:
- Low end: around $0 to $50 per month if you have strong insurance coverage or use low-cost/sliding-scale services.[1][15][16]
- Common self-pay range: about $240 to $360 per month for weekly sessions on many platforms.[1][3][7][12]
- Higher end: about $400 to $600+ per month for plans with more frequent sessions, premium features, or psychiatrists/combined care.[8][11]
A few concrete examples:
- BetterHelp: about $260 to $400 per month billed every four weeks.[12]
- Talkspace: roughly $52 to $79 per week depending on the plan, which is about $208 to $316 per month before higher-tier options.[10]
- Doctor On Demand: visits can be $0 to $134 per session depending on insurance.[15]
