What's a good online (globally available) human therapist or therapy service? (lemm.ee)

I'm suffering from anxiety-related panic attacks and looking to have 1on1 video sessions with a therapist to relieve stress. Ideally available on demand but I'm open to try any good therapy at this point.

You are the moron and need a mental asylum for claiming that. He teaches at Stanford and is more knowledgeable than your entire lineage ever will be in the next millenia.

I am not claiming the video author is a moron, I am calling you a moron for suggesting that a YouTube video series is a replacement for an actual fucking therapist.

Do you know that a therapist will also tell you to work on yourself? A good therapist will give you less than half the tools and protocols that this podcast offers for physical and mental problems. And a good one is rare enough to find, let alone compatibility and price issues, since most of them either hook you on lifelong coping drugs or hook you up on infinite costly sessions.

I was lucky to get a good one who helped in just 3 sessions, and the diagnosis was the only helpful output, not the advice.

It sounds you are telling me I am dumb and require a therapist. You are correct and i will endeavor to locate a good quality one, thank you.

If you want to call yourself dumb, that is your choice. I agree with you. If you can quote me calling you dumb, you may do so now, else you will actually prove yourself to be dumb.
