BetterHelp is a mental health platform that provides direct online counseling and therapy services via web or phone text communication.[1] BetterHelp was founded in 2013 by Alon Matas and Danny Bragonier, and acquired by Teladoc in 2015, maintaining its service and brand name post-acquisition. BetterHelp attracted controversy for allegedly sharing its customers' personal data with third parties.[2]
