Verbatim response from Perplexity
Online therapy typically costs about $200–$400 per month for subscription-style plans with weekly sessions and messaging support.[2][3][11][14] If you pay per session instead, the total can be higher or lower depending on how often you go, with many out-of-pocket sessions falling around $50–$135 each.[2][16][18]
A few common price points from current platforms:
- BetterHelp: about $240–$400/month or $60–$90/week.[7][11][15]
- Talkspace-style plans: often around $260–$400/month for messaging plus weekly live sessions.[14]
- Online-Therapy.com: about $200/month for basic messaging-only plans, $320/month for weekly sessions, and $440/month for more frequent live sessions.[7]
- With insurance: out-of-pocket costs can drop to roughly $0–$200/month, depending on copays and coverage.[3][15][18]
If you want the shortest answer: budget $200–$400/month for standard online therapy, and less if you have insurance.[2][3][11]
