Set Regular Weekly Schedule

It's time to explore the flexibility of BetterHelp scheduling! We understand that your availability will shift over time, and potentially with the seasons, and we encourage you to adjust your schedule accordingly. The scheduling tool makes it simple to do so!

In order to make the most out of your time and energy, and meet member needs effectively, we ask that therapists dedicate at least 10 hours per week to the platform. How your hours look, and which days they fall on week-to-week are completely up to you!

Key considerations for your weekly schedule:

• Time is typically spent reading and responding to member messages and holding Live Sessions with members.
• If you have 15 hours per week to work on BetterHelp, it might make sense to open up fewer than 15 hours on your schedule for Live Sessions while you adjust to the ratio of asynchronous time to session time. 
• The scheduler should not include general office hours or reading and responding time, only Live Session availability.
• The platform scheduler revolves around 30-45 minute Live Sessions as the standard session length.
• Therapists are always in charge of their schedules and can update their availability as needed. 
• There are absolutely no time zone calculations needed! In other words, if you are licensed in California & working with California members, but actually live in Florida, there's never any time zone math for you OR for the member.
