Online Individual Therapy for Austria, Without the 16-Week Wait.

You can message your therapist between sessions through the Grouport app. Response time is typically 24-48 hours during standard business days. This channel is good for scheduling questions, small check-ins, or sharing something that came up before your next session. It's not designed for immediate crises — if you're in crisis, use your country's local emergency services or crisis line, which is staffed 24/7. Your therapist will discuss the between-session communication norms in your first meeting so you know what to expect between weekly meetings.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, etc.) and debit cards for payment. Your card is securely stored and automatically charged on your monthly billing date. We also accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards, which many clients use to pay for therapy with pre-tax dollars. You can update your payment method at anytime.

While we don't currently offer financial assistance, we're committed to making therapy accessible. Group therapy at $32/session is our most affordable option and provides the same evidence-based treatment. We also provide superbills for insurance reimbursement upon request, accept HSA/FSA cards for tax savings, and offer flexible month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts. If cost is a significant barrier, contact our support team - we can discuss options that might work best for your situation.

Your decision to attend therapy is yours alone. No one else knows your mental health or the challenges you experience, except for yourself. If you’re struggling and you need help, you will know that best. What goes on in your mind is not visible to others and you shouldn’t have to face internal challenges alone. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to take care of yourself. You should set a boundary that this is your decision and therapy helps you be your best self. If still needed, your therapist can certainly discuss strategies on how to address these challenges with your partner.

Many people continue therapy on an ongoing basis beyond needing it because they value ongoing support and maintenance. There's no pressure to end when symptoms improve. You can also discuss your thoughts about ending with your therapist, and they'll be able to help you evaluate what the best course of action is and create an ending plan if relevant. If you have achieved your goals and feel like you have the tools to handle future challenges on your own, and you know which skills to draw on by yourself, then it's a matter of evaluating if you feel like you need additional maintenance even if less frequent or if you feel ready to address your challenges on your own. Whichever way you decide, you can always come back at any time and it’s totally up to what you think is best for your needs.

Individual therapy is one-on-one mental health treatment between you and a licensed therapist. Unlike group or family therapy where multiple people participate, individual therapy focuses entirely on your personal goals, challenges, and growth. Sessions provide a confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, address mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, work through past experiences, improve relationships, and make desired life changes. Your therapist tailors treatment to your specific needs using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ERP, EMDR, or trauma-focused therapy. Individual therapy is collaborative and you and your therapist work together toward goals you define.

You should consider individual therapy if you're experiencing persistent sadness, worry, or mood changes; difficulty coping with stress or life changes; relationship patterns you want to change; trauma or past experiences affecting current life; decreased interest in activities you once enjoyed; sleep or appetite changes; substance use concerns; difficulty managing emotions; feeling stuck or unfulfilled; grief that feels overwhelming; or simply wanting personal growth and self-understanding. You don't need a crisis or diagnosis to benefit from therapy. If something in your life causes distress or you want to improve your mental health, online therapy can help. Many people attend therapy proactively to maintain wellbeing.

Gender-based violence and harassment happen globally. If you're experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, or other gender-based violence, therapy provides trauma support. However, you also need safety resources. Research domestic violence services in your location. Some countries have hotlines and shelters, others have limited resources. Therapy can definitely help you navigate the situation.

Academic pressure affects students everywhere, though it varies by culture and education system. Whether you're dealing with exam stress, family pressure about grades, competitive academic environments, or fear of failure, therapy helps with the anxiety and perfectionism that academic pressure creates.

Yes, more sessions does mean more cost. The good thing though is that whenever you add sessions it is always at a discounted price. So, if you are doing more than one thing per week, naturally in each plan you get discounts for doing more than one session per week. There are also additional discounts if you pay quarterly or biannually.

Yes. During intake you can flag any faith or worldview preferences that matter to you, and we will match you with a licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) who can hold that context respectfully in your one-on-one weekly video sessions. Sessions run 45 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video in English, at $103 per weekly session or $448 per month. You can start right away after intake, without waiting for a Kassenplatz slot.

Yes. Because Austria observes Central European Time (CET, UTC+1, with CEST in summer) and our licensed clinicians work across a wide range of hours, you can typically book weekday evening or weekend morning slots that fit around a workweek in Vienna, Graz, Linz, or Salzburg, or an Alpine schedule in Tirol or Vorarlberg. Weekly one-on-one video sessions run 45 minutes at $103 per session on average or $448 per month, and you can match with a therapist and start right away after intake.
