BetterHelp is a mental health platform that provides direct online counseling and therapy services via web or phone text communication. 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.
In 2023 BetterHelp agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle FTC charges that it shared customers' sensitive mental health data with Facebook, Snapchat, and other companies for advertising purposes despite promising to keep such information private.
