Online Individual Therapy for Bangladeshis, join right away.

Getting started is easy. First, visit grouporttherapy.com and click "Get Started". This will take you to https://www.grouporttherapy.com/service-types, to first select which type of therapy you’re interested in and to complete a brief intake form about your therapy goals and preferences. Then, we'll match you with a licensed therapist/your group based on your needs and any specific requests you may have. After signing up, a care coordinator will get in touch with you via email &/or phone to walk you through available therapists and scheduling. You’ll make the final choice about your care, including which therapists you’ll meet with and when based on your preferences and schedule. You'll then be confirmed for your sessions, and be able to attend your sessions weekly over video chat.

For group sessions, most clients select their group directly upon signing up so they are matched right away. For private therapy sessions, like individual therapy or couples therapy etc. Most clients are matched with a licensed therapist within 24- 72 hours of signing up. This quick turnaround is one of Grouport's key advantages over traditional in person therapy, where wait times average 8-12 weeks nationally. A dedicated care coordinator will get in touch with you upon signup to get you situated with the care that fits your schedule and goals. Once matched, you'll receive access to your sessions either through our member portal or through weekly session links that are emailed to your inbox 24-hrs before each session. You can typically schedule your first session within the same week upon signing up allowing you to start therapy right away rather than waiting months.

We want you to feel comfortable with your therapist, so switching therapists is always an option at any time. Simply contact our support team at support@grouporttherapy.com, and we'll match you with a different therapist from there. We’ll present you alternative therapist options and time slots that fit your preferences, and you’ll ultimately select which therapist you’d like to switch to. So the choice is always yours in terms of who you are meeting with and when. We understand that therapeutic fit is personal and that finding the right fit is essential, so we’ll be happy to work with you to ensure you’re in the optimal fit and are satisfied with your care. This type of flexibility that we provide in switching therapists or groups easily is one of the many benefits of Grouport. You can switch as many times as needed to find the right match.

Yes, therapy is confidential with specific limited legal exceptions your therapist explains in the first session. Exceptions include you report intent to harm yourself or others, you disclose child or elder abuse, a court orders release of records (rare), or you provide written consent to share information. Outside of these rare situations, your therapist cannot share anything without your permission, not with family, employers, or anyone else. This confidentiality creates safety for you to explore difficult topics honestly. Your therapist takes confidentiality seriously and explains exactly what's protected and what isn't.

Yes, many people combine online therapy and medication and research shows this combination is often most effective for conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Medication addresses neurochemical imbalances while therapy teaches coping skills, addresses thought patterns, and helps you understand and manage your condition. Your therapist can coordinate with your prescriber (e.g. Psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or primary care doctor) if you'd like, though they cannot prescribe medication themselves. Some people start with therapy and add medication later if needed, while others taper off medication as therapy provides alternative coping tools. Therapy supports medication treatment regardless of your approach.

Previous unsuccessful therapy can happen and doesn't mean therapy can't help. Take into account, was the therapist a good fit? Did you attend long enough (change often takes 8+ sessions)? Was the timing right? Did the approach match your needs? Sometimes people need a different therapeutic modality and if talk therapy didn't work, maybe DBT skills, CBT, or EMDR would. Therapy also works better when you're ready for change versus feeling pressured. Discuss your previous experience with your new therapist and this helps them adapt treatment to what didn't work before. Many people succeed with therapy after finding the right fit or approach.

Therapy homework translates session insights into daily life. Common assignments include practicing coping skills (breathing exercises, mindfulness, grounding techniques), tracking thoughts or mood, journaling about specific topics, behavioral experiments (trying new behaviors in real situations), communication exercises, reading relevant materials, self-monitoring of symptoms or patterns, and trying new approaches to old problems. Homework isn't busywork, it's essential for progress. What you do between sessions often matters more than the session itself. Most assignments can take 10-20 minutes each and be done several times weekly. Your therapist tailors homework to your goals and reviews completion each session. If homework feels overwhelming, discuss this and your therapist can adjust expectations.

Being LGBTQ+ in countries with hostility toward LGBTQ+ people is isolating and dangerous. Therapy provides affirming support you might not be able to access locally. Your therapist won't judge you and understands the unique stresses of being LGBTQ+ in unsupportive environments. Your identity is valid even if your country doesn't recognize it.

Climate change creates different impacts depending on where you live. Extreme heat. Drought. Flooding. Fires. Sea level rise. Resource scarcity. Climate anxiety is rational. Therapy validates the fear, helps you take action where you can, and cope with environmental realities you can't personally fix.

Subscription services typically just cancel access if payment fails. You'd need to update payment info to resume. Some therapists work with clients on payment plans for outstanding balances. Unpaid balances might go to collections eventually. Communication is key, if you're having payment issues, talk to the platform before just ghosting.
