Online Family Therapy

Each online family therapy session is 60 minutes.

Yes, Family Therapy is intended to be a totally private experience for just your family and only the family members you wish to join. So, it’s completely private and totally up to you who you want to join.

There is no hard number requirement. But usually, on the low end it consists of 3 family members and there’s no cap on the sizing. We would suggest keeping it up to 12 family members just so you maximize each hour session. But, if you have more extended family that you wish to join, that is absolutely okay too. It’s totally up to you.

If you’re not prompted to create a member portal account when signing up, your sessions will take place via weekly video links sent by email. You’ll receive a confirmation email with details about your therapy match, and then a reminder email 24 hours before each session containing that week’s unique link. (Note: the link changes each week.)

If you do create a member portal account during signup, your sessions will take place within the portal, except for your initial consultation. You’ll receive a confirmation email with a unique link for that first consultation. After that, you’ll be able to log into the portal and join your weekly sessions directly from the homepage.

Online family therapy incorporates several approaches, each tailored to improve communication, relationships, and family dynamics. Some commonly used techniques include:

• Structural Family Therapy: Focuses on the structure and patterns within the family system, helping to reorganize roles and boundaries to improve overall functioning.
• Brief Strategic Family Therapy: Emphasizes problem-solving and goal-setting, guiding families to identify specific challenges and develop actionable plans for change.
  
• Narrative Family Therapy: Views problems as separate from the people involved and helps families reframe their experiences by exploring and reshaping the stories they tell.
  
• Attachment-Based Family Therapy: Aims to strengthen emotional bonds by helping children or teens develop more secure attachments with parents or caregivers.

• Confidentiality
  Family therapy sessions are 100% confidential.
• Respectful communication
  Family therapists will encourage family members to communicate with each other in a respectful and non-judgmental way. They may set ground rules for communication in therapy sessions, such as avoiding blame and speaking from one’s own perspective.
  
• Clear roles and responsibilities
  Family therapists may help family members to clarify their roles and responsibilities within the family and to establish clear expectations for how they will interact with one another.
  
• Healthy boundaries between family members
  Family therapists may work with family members to establish healthy boundaries between them, such as respecting each other’s personal space and privacy and setting limits on how much they will rely on one another for emotional support.‍
• Respect for cultural and individual differences
  Family therapists will work to understand and respect the cultural and individual differences that exist within the family and will help family members to appreciate and value these differences.

Online family therapy is helpful for families of all kinds — including parents and children, adult siblings, multi-generational households, stepfamilies, and families navigating caregiving roles. Whether you're working through conflict or simply want to strengthen your relationships, therapy can help improve communication, connection, and understanding at any stage of life.

Family therapy may be a good fit if your family is:

• Dealing with unresolved conflict or communication breakdowns
• Navigating major transitions like divorce, loss, relocation, or caregiving challenges
  
• Struggling with mental health, substance use, or chronic illness affecting the family system
  
• Working through long-standing tension between parents, adult children, or siblings
• Facing issues that individual therapy hasn’t fully addressed that are rooted in family dynamics
• Experiencing the impact of trauma or generational patterns
• Open to working together to build healthier relationships and move forward

Even if your family isn’t in crisis, therapy can be a valuable space to grow, support each other, and improve how you relate — whether you're under one roof or living apart.

✅ End-to-End Encryption – Ensures that your sessions remain completely private and secure and that our systems protect your private health information

Family therapy with Grouport costs $160/session. For 4-sessions per month this is billed at $640/month (e.g. $160/session x 4-sessions/month). We offer competitive rates for family therapy. Outside Grouport, for a 60-minute family therapy session, the average cost of family therapy in the U.S. ranges from $175 to $300 per session.

$160 per week ($640/month) – billed monthly

• Covers 4-5 sessions per month at the same flat monthly rate
• On average, sessions cost $148 each over time
  

✅ Discounts available when adding multiple sessions per week.

You can choose to pay your family therapy:
✅ Monthly – Standard rate, billed every month.
✅ Quarterly (Save 10%) – Billed every 3 months.
✅ Biannually (Save 20%) – Billed every 6 months.

Your subscription auto-renews based on your chosen payment schedule, and some plans allow for weekly or every-other-week sessions, depending on your needs.

Our mission is to make quality therapy affordable and accessible. Grouport’s rates are significantly lower than the U.S. average, with costs that average out over time because some months have 4 sessions, while others have 5 sessions at no extra cost—thanks to the fact that months have an average of 4.33 weeks.

✅ Family Therapy: Averages $148 per session ($640/month) (vs. $175-$300 per session elsewhere)

💡 Even More Savings:

• Extra discounts when adding more sessions per week.
• Pay quarterly (save 10%) or biannually (save 20%) for even lower rates

No. At this time we are out of network. We try to make our services as affordable as possible, and the cost of family therapy sessions with us is at $160/session for a 60-minute private family session, which is less than the average cost of family therapy in the U.S. ($175 to $300 per session). In fact, since some months have 5 sessions at the same monthly price, family therapy sessions with Grouport average $148 per session over time.

We can work with your family to provide you with an invoice for every billing cycle, which you can submit to your insurance provider to receive out-of-network reimbursement for our services. The reimbursement amount will vary depending on your insurance provider's policies, so you should check with your plan.

Yes! You can change your plan anytime, whether that means adding or reducing sessions or switching to a different billing cycle. Changes take effect immediately.

✅ Upgrading your plan

•  Adding more sessions per week (e.g., 1 session/week → 2 sessions/week).
• Switching to a longer billing cycle (e.g., Monthly → Quarterly).
• You’ll be charged a prorated difference based on the time remaining in your current plan.

✅ Downgrading your plan

• Reducing the number of sessions per week (e.g., 3 sessions/week → 1 session/week).
•    Switching to a shorter billing cycle (e.g., Quarterly → Monthly).
•    This will result in a credit applied to your next renewal.

You can cancel your subscription at any time, and you’ll finish out whichever monthly billing period you’re on. To cancel, please email support@grouporttherapy.com, and they'll send you a form to complete to cancel your families' membership. 

Only after submitting that form, will your membership be recognized as canceled; otherwise, the subscription will remain active. By doing so, you will stop receiving services at the end of your current monthly billing period.

✅ No long-term commitment – cancel whenever you need.
✅ Full access through your last monthly billing period after canceling.

If for whatever reason from time to time your family needs to reschedule a particular family therapy session, you can work with your therapist to reschedule that time slot with advance notice for that specific week – we just ask that you keep rescheduling a session that deviates from the recurring family therapy time to a minimum so that you and your therapist can stick to the standard recurring time for consistency and for ease of scheduling. If for whatever reason your family’s schedule changes, and you need to change the general recurring family therapy weekly slot, our team and your therapist will help you confirm a new recurring slot that overall works for your family’s calendar.
