Talkspace
Online therapy by messaging and video with a licensed therapist
Talkspace matches you with a licensed therapist and runs the relationship through an app: unlimited messaging, with live video sessions on some plans. It is pitched at people who travel or who find a weekly office visit hard to keep. The company uses brand ambassadors, and several public figures who talk about it, including the person listed here, are paid partners.
