I know several coworkers who use it and I've looked into it myself. It's most likely going to be online video therapy if you live in a high covid case area like I do. But, most people have positive experiences from what I hear. You get 20 free sessions which is pretty good for therapy through your job.

It's really meant as a placeholder while you wait to qualify for insurance and then you can pay a copay. But, if you stretch out your appointments you can make it last for a while.

Do they have actual psychiatrists though.

I see a therapist through lyra and this is legitimately the best therapy experience ive ever had. I can go about every other week (i do have to skip a week here and there) and it was super easy to set up

I see a therapist through Lyra. But I didn’t space out my sessions/couldn’t bc I needed help so I ran out of sessions. Besides that I really like my therapist and it was a very easy. It made getting help a lot more accessible and I didn’t have to stress about insurance and co pays and finding a therapist in my area (that is until I ran out of sessions). I really recommend it.

I used it for a couple months while I was at Starbucks. Iirc it was pretty easy to set up. They even had an auto-filled-in-email which was great for those of us who feel awkward emailing.


It's still just therapy, it isn't a miracle or anything. But it definitely was helpful for me, I learned some tricks to help deal with anxiety and sensory issues. I had online sessions (every week? maybe every other) for an hour. We generally had a good connection but there was flexibility to switch to phone calls if there was too much internet trouble that day.
