5. Be aware of scams. If you are considering an online therapy company, research what requirements a therapist needs to meet before taking clients (they might vary). Also, be cautious of any therapist who tries to sell you additional products during your session. (6/7).

3. If you have health insurance, identify what your behavioral health copay is. This will be the amount you pay per session. Be aware that not all therapists will accept insurance, so this is something important to ask since it will affect the cost. (4/7).

2. Consider what you would like to get out of therapy. Some providers may have special training which can help better meet your needs. You may also want a provider who shares similar identities with you. We have another thread dedicated to different types of professionals. (3/7).
