Attend your weekly online sessions — whether group, individual, couples, family, or IOP — at the cadence that works best for you. Our team will be here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you're happy with your care plan and helping you make changes whenever needed.
Every person’s care plan is unique — some opt for individual, couples, or family therapy, while others choose a mix of therapy options. But time and time again, we see that group therapy offers something uniquely powerful.
Group helps people feel seen, supported, and empowered. The connection and shared experience it provides often lead to deeper emotional progress — making it one of the most transformative parts of care for many.
That’s why we often recommend group as a core part of treatment — offering weekly connection, peer insight, and therapist guidance in a comfortable, structured setting.
Our licensed therapists bring over a decade of experience across group, individual, IOP, and high-acuity care — supporting hundreds of mental health needs and treatment approaches. They represent a wide range of clinical specialties and diverse backgrounds. Each clinician is rigorously vetted and trained to deliver care that’s evidence-based, clinically effective, and deeply compassionate.

Grouport offers online group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, family therapy, teen therapy, and a virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP), all delivered through virtual therapy sessions over video chat.Members can combine therapy types, such as group therapy online plus individual therapy online, to build a plan suited to their needs. Grouport also offers a DBT self-guided program, a self-paced option for members who want lifetime access to DBT skills training outside of live sessions. Whether someone is looking for weekly group therapy online, one-on-one therapy, or a virtual IOP program, Grouport's therapist-led group therapy online and individual services can be combined into flexible plans.
Grouport's licensed online therapists treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder.
Conditions treated include:
1. Anxiety, depression, and social anxiety
2. PTSD and trauma
3. Bipolar disorder
4. Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
5. OCD and ADHD
6. Panic, phobia, and PMDD
7. Insomnia
8. Relationship and couples issues, grief, anger management, narcissistic abuse, and substance abuse
9. Chronic illness and life transitions
Therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) where applicable, so members searching for online therapy for anxiety, online therapy for depression, online therapy for BPD, or online therapy for PTSD can be matched with a therapist suited to their needs.
Grouport's online therapy plans differ in three main ways: the type of therapy included, how often you meet, and how you pay. Plans can include group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, family therapy, or a combination of these, so members aren't limited to a single format. Session frequency ranges from every other week up to multiple sessions per week, depending on the level of support needed. Payment schedules are flexible too, members can choose monthly billing, quarterly billing (which saves 10%), or biannual billing (which saves 20%). This structure lets members build a plan around whether they want occasional support or a more structured weekly therapy schedule, without being locked into a rigid one-size-fits-all option.
Yes, every Grouport therapist is a licensed online therapist, accredited to provide expert mental health services using evidence-based methods.
The therapist network includes licensed psychologists (PhD, PsyD), licensed clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed mental health counselors (LMHC), and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), most with over a decade of clinical experience. This licensing standard applies across every service, including online group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, and family therapy, so members working with a Grouport therapist online are always matched with a credentialed mental health professional.
Grouport is available worldwide, offering virtual mental health treatment to clients of all ages and backgrounds through secure video chat.
Coverage includes:
1. Adults (18+): full access to all general online therapy groups.
2. Teens and adolescents (under 18): specialized teen therapy online groups designed specifically for that age range.
Because every session is virtual, members can access online counseling services, individual therapy online, or group therapy online from wherever they are, without needing to visit an office in person.
Grouport members need to be at least 18 years old to sign up for standard adult therapy services, though specialized options exist for younger members too. Adolescents and teens between 11 and 17 can access dedicated online teen therapy groups built specifically for that age range. Most countries and U.S. states require parent or guardian consent before a minor begins therapy, so if you're signing up on behalf of a teen, Grouport will need to confirm that consent before sessions start. Everything shared during teen therapy stays confidential between the teen and their therapist, which helps build the trust needed for effective treatment.
All Grouport therapy sessions are held 100% virtually through secure video chat, with no in-person visits required.
This applies across every service type: online group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, family therapy, teen therapy, and the virtual IOP program. Each session takes place at a recurring time that fits the member's schedule, making it easy to stay consistent with weekly group therapy online or individual sessions without commuting to an office.
Session length depends on the therapy type, ranging from 45 to 60 minutes per session.
1. Online group therapy and online family therapy: 60 minutes per session
2. Online individual therapy and online couples therapy: 45 minutes per session
This structure gives members enough time in each format, whether they're in a therapist-led group therapy online session working through shared experiences, or a one-on-one individual therapy online session focused entirely on their own goals.
Grouport's online DBT therapy groups follow a structured, therapist-led curriculum that builds DBT skills over time rather than covering everything in a single session. The group starts with a 12-week introductory phase covering the foundations of DBT, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, supported by weekly handouts and worksheets. After the first 12 sessions, the group moves into monthly advanced modules: mindfulness and wise mind in month 4, distress tolerance and crisis survival skills in month 5, emotion regulation in month 6, interpersonal effectiveness in month 7, and integration of all skills across months 8 through 12. After a full year, the DBT skills group online shifts into an ongoing support format focused on maintaining those skills long-term. There's a 12-session minimum commitment, but members can switch groups at any time, and can cancel and simply finish out their current billing period whenever they're ready to stop.
Access to your sessions depends on how you're set up at signup, either through email or a member portal.
Email link access: if you're not directed into a member portal, you'll receive a confirmation email once matched with your group, then a new video link by email 24 hours before each session,
Member portal access: if you're directed into a portal at signup, your first consultation link comes by email, and after that you simply log into the portal each week to join your group therapy online session.
Either way, sessions take place over secure, HIPAA-compliant video chat, so access stays private and consistent from week to week regardless of which method applies to your plan.
The initial consultation is a 20-minute, one-on-one assessment with a trained mental health professional, required before starting certain Grouport services.
This session helps match members with the right care, whether that's group therapy, individual therapy online, or another service, based on their specific needs. If a consultation isn't required for a particular plan, members can still speak with a care coordinator ahead of time to talk through their needs and feel confident about their therapist and session setup before starting online counseling services.
Most Grouport plans include at least one session per week, with flexible options depending on how much support a member wants.
1. Weekly plans: same day and time each week, totaling 4-5 sessions per month
2. Multiple sessions per week: available for members who want more frequent support, including virtual IOP-level care
3. Every-other-week option: available on some individual therapy plans for members who prefer less frequent sessions
All plans bill monthly, quarterly (10% savings), or biannually (20% savings), and members can cancel at any time and continue through the end of their current billing period.
Choosing between group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, or a combination doesn't have to be a solo decision, Grouport's care coordinators are there to help. Members can schedule a call with a care coordinator directly, or reach out by email to get help finding the right fit. A care coordinator can walk through the differences between plan types, session frequency, and pricing, and help match a member to the therapy format that best fits their goals, whether that's a single weekly group therapy online session or a more intensive combination plan.
Yes, Grouport offers a free conversation with a care coordinator before signing up for any online therapy service.
Members can contact the team directly, schedule a call, or text to ask questions about group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, or any other service before committing. This gives prospective members a chance to understand their options and confirm Grouport is the right fit before they sign up for online therapy or join an online therapy group.
Yes, Grouport members choose their own group and therapist, either immediately at signup or with help from a care coordinator.
1. Group session per week: members select their preferred group, therapist, and schedule directly during signup.
2. Bundled or other plans (multiple groups, group + individual therapy, couples, family, teen, or IOP): a care coordinator reaches out after signup to match the member with the right therapist and schedule.
3. Most members are placed within a few hours, or within 24-72 hours at most.
4. Members can switch groups or therapists at any time if the initial match isn't the right fit.
Grouport's online therapy groups are capped at 12 members, though most groups typically run with 6-8 members at any given time. Keeping groups at this size allows for meaningful participation without the session feeling too large or impersonal. Every group is led by a licensed therapist who specializes in the group's specific focus area, whether that's anxiety, grief, DBT skills, or another shared experience, so the group therapy online experience stays focused and clinically guided throughout.
No, members are never required to talk during group therapy sessions and can participate by listening and observing instead.
Some members choose to remain anonymous by using a nickname rather than sharing their name. Many members find that they naturally become more comfortable sharing over time, and report that opening up within the group is often a key part of their progress in online group therapy, even though there's no pressure to speak before they're ready.
After signing up for Grouport, members go through a short matching and onboarding process before starting therapy.
1. A care coordinator reaches out by phone and/or email to schedule a time to talk.
2. The care coordinator reviews the member's needs and shares group or therapist options based on their preferences and schedule.
3. The treatment plan is finalized, with all details needed to get started.
4. The member begins therapy, meeting with their therapist or group at a recurring scheduled time.
5. Ongoing support continues afterward, with the care coordinator available to help with switching groups or therapists, adding sessions, or handling billing questions.
Yes, members can switch their therapist or group at any time if their current match isn't the right fit for their needs or schedule. Grouport is built around flexibility, so if a member's needs change, or they simply feel more comfortable with a different therapist or group, they can request a change and the team will help make the adjustment. This applies across group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, and family therapy, so members are never stuck with a therapist who isn't working for them.
Grouport protects member privacy through HIPAA-compliant systems and end-to-end encrypted technology across every session.
This means personal health information stays protected whether a member is in online group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, or another service. Information is never shared without consent, and Grouport maintains strict privacy and security standards so members can speak openly during their online mental health therapy sessions.
Group therapy is backed by decades of research and is considered just as effective as individual therapy, while offering benefits individual sessions alone can't fully replicate.
Benefits include the ability to:
1. Connect with others who understand what you're going through.
2. Break isolation and feel less alone in your experience.
3. Practice interpersonal skills and get real-time feedback.
4. Witness growth in others, which reinforces your own healing.
5. Learn new perspectives and coping tools from both your therapist and peers.
As psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Irvin Yalom has emphasized, group therapy offers therapeutic factors that individual therapy alone doesn't provide, making it a strong option whether used alone or alongside individual therapy online.
Grouport's online group therapy is effective because it combines licensed, specialist-led sessions with peer connection that individual therapy alone doesn't provide.
Each group is run by a licensed therapist trained in that group's specific focus, giving members access to real-time feedback, shared understanding, and evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and ERP in an interactive setting. The group format also reinforces motivation and accountability, and Grouport reports that 70% of members see a significant reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms within 8 weeks, results members often credit to the group dynamic itself.
Grouport uses flat monthly pricing by therapy type, making it one of the more affordable online therapy options available, with plans starting well under many other online therapist platforms.
1. Group therapy: $35/week ($140/month), averaging $23-$32 per session.
2. DBT group therapy: $299 for the first 12 sessions, then $100/month.
3. Individual therapy online: $112/week ($448/month), averaging $103 per session.
4. Couples therapy online: $123/week ($492/month), averaging $114 per session.
5. Family therapy online: $160/week ($640/month), averaging $148 per session.
6. Standard IOP (virtual intensive outpatient program): $337/week ($1,348/month).
7. DBT self-guided program: one-time $500 payment for lifetime access.
All plans can be billed monthly, quarterly (10% savings), or biannually (20% savings), with no long-term contract required, making Grouport a strong choice for anyone comparing affordable online therapy options.
Grouport's pricing is built to undercut the typical cost of online therapy elsewhere, which is part of why it's often searched as a BetterHelp alternative or Talkspace alternative. Group therapy averages $23-$32 per session compared to $50-$150 per session on many other platforms, while individual therapy online averages $103 per session versus $150-$200 elsewhere. Couples therapy averages $114 per session against a typical $150-$200 range, and family therapy averages $148 per session compared to $175-$300 elsewhere. The virtual IOP program includes 44 sessions per month for $1,348, versus the $3,000-$5,000 per month typical of traditional in-person IOP programs. Members can lower costs further with quarterly (10% off) or biannual (20% off) billing, making Grouport one of the more affordable online therapy options for anyone comparing Grouport cost against other platforms.
Grouport offers three payment schedules: monthly at the standard rate, quarterly with a 10% savings, and biannually with a 20% savings.
Subscriptions auto-renew based on the schedule a member selects, and depending on the plan, sessions can be scheduled weekly or every other week. This flexible billing structure is part of what makes Grouport an affordable online therapy option, letting members choose the payment cadence that fits their budget without sacrificing access to online counseling services.
Yes, Grouport members can upgrade or downgrade their plan at any time, with changes taking effect immediately.
Upgrading: adding more sessions per week, or switching to a longer billing cycle (for example, monthly to quarterly); members are charged a prorated difference based on time remaining in the current plan.
Downgrading: reducing sessions per week, or switching to a shorter billing cycle (for example, quarterly to monthly); this results in a credit applied to the next renewal.
This flexibility lets members scale their therapy sessions up or down, whether they need more support through a virtual IOP-level plan or want to step back to a lighter weekly group therapy online schedule.
No, Grouport doesn't accept insurance, but that's a deliberate choice built around keeping online mental health therapy affordable and accessible without the friction insurance often adds. Instead of billing through insurance, Grouport uses flat monthly pricing that's FSA/HSA eligible, so members can still use pre-tax funds at checkout. Sessions average $23-$32 for group therapy and $103 for individual therapy online, often lower than a typical insurance co-pay, and members get 4-5 sessions a month at the same flat rate with no extra charge in 5-week months. Individual sessions run 45 minutes, longer than the 30-minute average on many other platforms, and group sessions are a full 60 minutes with a licensed therapist leading each one. Additional discounts apply when adding sessions per week, and quarterly or biannual billing saves members even more.
Grouport doesn't work with insurance because insurance-based therapy often comes with deductibles, session caps, and a required diagnosis before coverage kicks in.
Many insurance plans only cover therapy when there's a diagnosed mental health disorder, and may require therapists to submit treatment plans or progress notes to justify coverage. Grouport skips all of that. There's no diagnosis, medical records, or clinical justification required to start care, so treatment stays strictly between the member and their online therapist, offering more privacy and faster access to individual therapy online, group therapy, or another service.

Grouport memberships can be canceled at any time, and members keep full access through the end of their current billing period, with no long-term contract standing in the way. There's no cancellation fee or penalty involved, once the cancellation process is completed, the plan simply won't renew and no further payments will be charged. Members who have questions about the process can reach out to the support team directly for guidance on completing their cancellation correctly..
Getting started with Grouport begins with choosing a therapy type, group therapy, individual therapy online, couples therapy, family therapy, teen therapy, virtual IOP, or the DBT self-guided program, and signing up online.
For a single weekly group therapy online session, members can browse available groups and enroll directly. For bundled plans, multiple group sessions, group plus individual therapy, or other service types like couples, family, teen therapy, or IOP, a care coordinator follows up after registration to match the member with the right therapist and schedule. Either path gets members started with a licensed online therapist and moving toward their goals, whether that's joining an online therapy group or starting individual sessions.
