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.

I highly recommend finding a therapist in the normal manner and then confirming that they offer telehealth (I suspect most do), as opposed to BetterHelp and all those types of services. I have a great local therapist but if I’m ever not up to or can’t come in, we just hop on a video call. It’s good to have the option of going in person, even if you don’t think you’re there yet.
This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.
At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier
This is exactly what I did, after having a bad experience with one of those services. It’s like night and day, honestly.
One issue is that I’m not based in the US. I live as an expat in Vietnam and would love to find a good therapist but i have zero experience with this so I’d appreciate any help.
