Textcoach®

The TextCoach service is very good and very helpful in non emergencies. However, the app itself is so poor that once you login literally can’t do anything.

I have an account but for some reason the app won’t log me back in. It won’t even give me the option to log back in. The main screen when I open the app is to register for an account and there’s no way around it. I guess I’ll never know what my counselor has to say about the issues I’m dealing with.

I laid out what was going on in text. I noticed immediately the iPhone version screen covered the log in selection. No matter what I do, I can’t see what the councilor sent cause I can’t log in. Glad I don’t have an emergency. Geez.

I have enjoyed coaching. I’ve done face-to-face therapy before, but this is so much more accessible. This is a great benefit!

I decided to give this a try during a pretty difficult time in my life. I’m so glad I did! The app is super easy to use. I can text my coach whenever I want, and she responds back the same day with advice and support. I even learned how to start meditating. Never thought I’d do that, LOL! I tried counseling in the past, but couldn’t stick with it because it’s too hard to make time for appointments. This just works better for me.

I like coaching more than F2F counseling. I have found it more helpful and convenient.

I had high hopes in trying this at first. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Took longer than 24 hours to get my first response. I felt like I laid out what some of my issues were, and instead of a more personalized approach, and asking some questions, my counselor sent me the articles that were available for similar issues on their website. I really didn’t know how to respond to such generic advice that I didn’t respond for a few days. She messaged back asking if I had any questions. I eventually responded, and told her that from the article she sent me, it says I should just see someone face to face. Rather than offer any help in determining if that’s right for my scenario she basically told me good luck, and come back if I need her.
