Expert 1:1 Care
Getting into weekly therapy in Croatia is genuinely difficult. HZZO-linked community mental health teams and public psychiatric outpatient clinics carry roughly seven-week queues, private psychotherapy concentrates in Zagreb with smaller pockets in Split, Rijeka, and Osijek at 110 to 130 euros a session, and 42 percent of the country living outside those urban centers means the Dalmatian coast, the roughly 1,200 islands, Slavonia, and interior Lika sit even further from consistent care. Finding a therapist is one challenge; finding a good one is harder; finding one actually trained for what you're working through, whether that's OCD, complex trauma, panic, major depression, bipolar, an eating disorder, ADHD, grief, or the many other things people navigate, is harder still. Grouport's online individual therapy is built for exactly that. After a short signup you're shown clinician options fitted to your specific situation, you pick the therapist you'd like to work with, and typically get started within 24 to 72 hours. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions on secure HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per session on average ($448 per month), with automatic discounts included for every additional weekly session.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face.
Croatia carries roughly 75.4 mental health workers per 100,000 residents, below the EU average, and that workforce clusters in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek while 42 percent of the country lives outside urban areas. The roughly seven-week wait for a public mental health appointment reflects that structural imbalance more than any lack of demand; long-term trauma legacies, high work stress, and rising awareness around anxiety and depression all show up in the caseloads clinicians describe. For a one-on-one therapy model like Grouport, these numbers matter directly. Weekly HIPAA-compliant video sessions with the same licensed clinician bypass the queue, cover any postal code with internet, and give Croatian clients a therapist without waiting for a limited local pool to open up.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Croatia's mental health workforce sits at 75.4 professionals per 100,000 people, a figure below the EU average, and those clinicians are heavily concentrated in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek. For a resident of a Dalmatian island, a village in Lika, or a small town in Slavonia, the nearest licensed psychotherapist may be several hours away by car or ferry. The public HZZO pathway averages a seven-week wait for an initial appointment, and specialist psychotherapy queues stretch considerably longer.
For a working Croatian adult juggling a full-time job in Zagreb or Split, a seven-week wait for a public appointment is not just an inconvenience; it means seven weeks of the same insomnia, panic episodes, or low mood eating into productivity, sleep, and family life before the first meaningful conversation with a clinician even happens. Add rural distance for the 42 percent of Croatians who do not live in a major urban area, and getting to a specialist can eat half a day off work each week. Grouport removes both frictions in one step: a licensed therapist available this week, delivered over HIPAA-compliant video from the client's own kitchen table or hotel room, at $103 per session on a $448 monthly subscription.
Croatia's public system routes patients through HZZO-covered community mental health teams and psychiatric outpatient clinics that carry a roughly seven-week queue, and the pool of specialist psychotherapists thins quickly once you move outside Zagreb. Grouport sits alongside that system as a private, focused alternative for Croatian residents who need to start real weekly work now rather than months from now. After a short signup, clients are presented with clinician options fitted to their specific situation, whether that's severe anxiety, OCD, trauma processing, depression, BPD, addiction recovery, a rough life transition, relationship strain, or the many other things people work through, and they choose the therapist they'd like to work with. First sessions typically land the same week. The subscription runs $103 per session on average ($448 per month), or $224 per month on the every-other-week plan, with automatic discounts included for every additional weekly session and the flexibility to move frequency up during heavier stretches and back down as things settle. The same clinician stays on across the arc of care, so progress compounds week over week.
Three specific frictions get lighter with Grouport. First, the roughly seven-week wait for a public mental health appointment in Croatia collapses to a same-week start once intake is complete, with a licensed clinician matched right away. Second, Croatia's 42 percent rural share, spread across the Dalmatian coast, the islands, and Slavonia, no longer means driving to Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, or Osijek for specialist therapy; a stable internet connection is enough to see a therapist weekly from any village or island. Third, finding a licensed psychotherapist inside Croatia is uneven outside the largest cities, and Grouport gives Croatian clients direct access to a bench of licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, and LPCs from day one.
Croatia's formal mental health care landscape runs through several channels: HZZO-covered public psychiatric hospitals and community mental health teams, private practices concentrated in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek, occasional employer or NGO programs, and university counseling for students. Each has real strengths, and each has real limits, whether that is a seven-week public queue, private out-of-pocket rates of 110 to 130 euros without a guaranteed clinician, or short-course EAP support that ends before a course of therapy is complete. Grouport fills a specific gap in that map: weekly one-on-one therapy with a licensed clinician, available to Croatian residents from anywhere in the country, starting this week, at $103 per session ($448 per month) with no waitlist and no travel.
Grouport gives Croatian residents immediate access to individual therapy at $103 per session on average (billed at $448 per month on a weekly plan, or $224 per month on an every-other-week plan), 50 to 60 percent below the global average of $150 to $250 per session for one-on-one therapy with a licensed clinician. Pricing stays transparent in US dollars, with no per-session invoicing, no add-on fees, and the option to cancel or pause the subscription at any time. For clients in Croatia planning a real course of therapy rather than a handful of ad-hoc sessions, that predictability makes budgeting a full course of care straightforward from the first month.
Croatia is a high-income European economy with a per capita GNI (PPP) around $39,990, though household budgets vary meaningfully between Zagreb and the smaller coastal, island, and rural regions. Because Grouport bills a single flat monthly subscription in US dollars at $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month for weekly sessions or $224 for every-other-week sessions, Croatian clients can plan a full course of therapy on a fixed line in their household budget rather than adjusting each month for per-session invoicing or annual private-practice rate increases. The euro-to-dollar exchange rate stays a small day-to-day variable, but the structural cost stays flat, which is what makes a sustained six or twelve month course of care realistic instead of stop-and-start.
The sticker price on a private in-person session in Zagreb or Split is only part of the real cost. Weekly commuting adds 30 to 90 minutes each way in urban traffic, or a ferry-and-drive for island and coastal clients, plus a ZET tram or bus ticket at €0.80 for a 30-minute ride or a Bolt across Zagreb at €4 to €12, plus fuel, parking, and public transit fees. Every appointment costs lost work hours or lost family time. Per-session billing at private practices makes each month's spend unpredictable, and Croatian residents specifically looking for a licensed psychotherapist often have to widen the search and pay premium rates for a shorter list of available clinicians. Grouport folds all of that into one predictable USD subscription: $103 per session ($448 per month) or $224 per month for every-other-week, delivered from home over HIPAA-compliant video, with cancel-anytime flexibility.
Croatia's public mental health system generally moves at a roughly seven-week pace to a first appointment, and specialist psychotherapy referrals often add further delay. Grouport does not operate on that timeline. Intake takes minutes, matching happens right after, and the first 45 minute video session with a licensed psychologist, LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, or PsyD typically lands inside the same week. For Croatia clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week on HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per session ($448 per month) or $224 per month for every-other-week ($224 per month), with the same therapist staying on across the full course of care.

Stephanie

“Grouport is time flexible and affordable and if it didn’t exist, I don’t know where I would go. I had looked into other places before Grouport and there really wasn’t any option like it.”
Michael

“I highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or depression. The therapists are top notch and have made me feel really comfortable and my anxiety has improved tremendously in only a few sessions!”
Isabel

"I joined Grouport to work on myself and to heal. I’m learning so much at every session! The change I see not only in myself but in my fellow group members is abundantly encouraging and profoundly fulfilling. Group therapy with Grouport is a powerful healing tool."
Sheldon

“I was feeling very down at the end of 2020 and I was ready to do something drastic that I know I'd likely regret. The group definitely helped show me that there are people who feel the same way as I do.”
Nancy

“The therapy from Grouport is high quality and convenient. I am becoming much more self aware and am liking myself more. My relationships at work are better and I’m much happier.”
Emily

“I like the connection you can make with total strangers and the confidentiality it comes with.”
Danielle

"Grouport can help you with your issues. Their therapists are well trained to work with you on your issues. I felt my anxiety greatly improve after only a few sessions. I highly recommend it!"
Glenn

"Grouport's approach to DBT is a real strength. This approach provides tools and methods for working with difficult emotions and getting a handle on them. It has given me hope where other approaches have failed."

Our therapists represent a wide range of clinical specialties & diverse backgrounds. They all undergo the most stringent credentialing process. Grouport therapists are caring, expert mental health professionals with years of experience helping people get the tools they need to see long-lasting change.
Grouport's clinician bench includes licensed psychologists, PsyDs, PhDs, Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs). Every clinician is trained in specific evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, ERP for OCD, exposure work for panic and phobias, IFS, trauma-focused CBT, and psychodynamic care, so Croatian clients end up working with someone who genuinely fits their situation rather than whoever happens to be free. After a short signup, options fitted to the specific concern are surfaced and the client picks the therapist they'd like to work with. Every 45-minute session runs one-on-one on secure HIPAA-compliant video, with the same clinician staying on across the arc of care. A care coordinator is available throughout to help with anything that comes up along the way, choosing a therapist, adjusting cadence, or layering in additional Grouport care.

No, Grouport pricing is completely transparent with no hidden or additional fees. Your monthly subscription cost is clearly stated upfront and includes all your scheduled therapy sessions for that month. There are no extra fees, beyond whichever plan you’re on. What you see is what you pay and there are no surprises on your bill.
When you submit for insurance reimbursement, we provide a superbill that includes: your name, therapist's name and credentials, dates of services rendered, cost paid per session, and any other relevant information needed for reimbursement.
No, Grouport therapists cannot prescribe medication as they are licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, PhD, PsyD, LPC), who are focused on psychological care only and are not psychiatrists or medical doctors. However, many clients see both a therapist and a prescriber (psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or primary care doctor) for combined treatment - research shows therapy plus medication is often an effective combination for conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Your therapist can coordinate care with your prescriber if you're taking medication, and can help you find a prescriber if needed. We focus on the therapy component of your mental health care whether online group therapy, online individual therapy, online couples therapy, online family therapy, online teen therapy, or virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Yes, individual therapy is valuable during divorce for processing grief and loss, managing anxiety and overwhelming emotions, making important decisions (custody, finances, living arrangements), coping with change and uncertainty, addressing anger or resentment productively, supporting children through the transition, establishing your identity outside the marriage, managing conflict with your ex, and planning for your post-divorce life. Divorce is one of life's most stressful experiences, and therapy provides essential support during this transition. Your therapist maintains neutrality about divorce decisions but supports you through whatever you choose. Many people attend therapy intensively during divorce then reduce frequency after things stabilize.
Difficulty opening up is common, especially early in therapy. Good therapists understand this and create safety gradually. Strategies that help include starting with less vulnerable topics and working up to harder issues, remembering therapy is confidential and judgment-free, understanding your therapist has heard everything before, recognizing that opening up gets easier with practice, telling your therapist directly "I have trouble opening up" (this itself is opening up), writing thoughts if speaking feels hard, and remembering therapy moves at your own pace. Many people who initially feel like they can't open up eventually do. Trust develops over time. Your therapist watches for signs you're holding back and gently encourages exploration without forcing disclosure.
Yes, therapy helps with work-related stress through developing boundaries between work and personal life, stress management and relaxation techniques, addressing perfectionism or overwork patterns, deciding whether to stay in your job or make a change, improving work relationships and communication, managing difficult bosses or colleagues, coping with toxic work environments, recovering from burnout (fatigue, cynicism, ineffectiveness), addressing imposter syndrome, and exploring values around work-life balance. Your therapist helps you understand what's within your control versus what's systemic. For burnout, therapy is most effective combined with actual changes in work situation or hours and therapy can help you navigate that.
Yes, many people continue therapy as part of their wellness routine. You don’t just stop going to the gym after you see results, but it's typically about how can you maintain the consistency to see sustained results over time. Many people continue with ongoing support to prevent relapse and work on personal growth, or to manage chronic conditions. So you can continue therapy for as long as you're benefiting and the duration at which you partake in therapy is totally a personal decision. Your therapy or treatment plan can likely change over time, and the topics that you're focusing on can certainly be different at different junctures. So trust what’s best for you, and if you want your therapist to weigh in on whether you should continue, stop, or do something different they can absolutely be a sounding board to discuss that through with you and help you make an informed decision.
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.
That's a personal decision. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Some people view therapy as preventive care or personal development investment. Others only go when problems are severe. Consider this though, therapy costs money, but so does letting problems fester. Damaged relationships cost you. Missed work costs you. Physical health impacts from stress. Crisis interventions later. Preventive therapy can be cost effective long term.
No. Grouport is a private US-based platform and is not contracted with the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (HZZO) or with private Croatian insurers like Croatia osiguranje or Allianz Hrvatska. You pay us directly in US dollars by card, which your bank converts from euros at the daily rate. If you need reimbursement, ask your private insurer whether out-of-network telehealth counts; most Croatian plans will not cover it, so treat Grouport as an out-of-pocket alternative to private practice in Zagreb or Split.
Croatia runs on Central European Time, so most Grouport groups scheduled for US evenings land in your early morning, and US afternoon groups fall in your late evening. When you browse the schedule, times display in your local Zagreb or Split timezone automatically, so you can pick a slot that fits your work day. Expats and English-speakers along the coast often prefer the later CET slots that match US Eastern morning. You can join right away once you find a group that fits.
Grouport is available to residents across all 21 Croatian counties, from Istria and Primorje-Gorski Kotar in the northwest, through Zagreb County and the central Zagorje region, down the Dalmatian coast through Zadar, Sibenik-Knin, Split-Dalmatia, and Dubrovnik-Neretva, and across the Pannonian interior including Osijek-Baranja, Vukovar-Srijem, Sisak-Moslavina, and Slavonski Brod-Posavina. Members from the inhabited Adriatic islands, including Krk, Cres, Losinj, Rab, Pag, Brac, Hvar, Korcula, Vis, and Mljet, start with the same therapists without any travel to the mainland.
Members join Grouport therapists from Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek, Zadar, Slavonski Brod, Pula, Karlovac, Sisak, Varazdin, Sibenik, Dubrovnik, Bjelovar, Kastela, Samobor, Vinkovci, Velika Gorica, Vukovar, Koprivnica, and Cakovec. Coverage is not tied to city size, so members in smaller towns like Krizevci, Metkovic, Ploce, Krapina, or Delnice have identical access to licensed therapists and one-on-one care.
