Expert 1:1 Care
Grouport delivers individual therapy in Croatia through weekly 45 minute video sessions with a licensed clinician, at $103 per session or $448 per month with predictable, transparent billing. Instead of joining the roughly seven-week queue at a public mental health outpatient clinic, or hunting for a Zagreb private practice with English-speaking availability, Croatian residents can be matched with a psychologist, LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, or PsyD right after intake and start online therapy in Croatia this week. Every session runs on HIPAA-compliant video from home, works around Central European Time, and pairs one-on-one therapy with the same therapist week after week, so Croatians on the islands, in Slavonia, or along the Dalmatian coast get the same weekly continuity as clients in central Zagreb.

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 an English-language 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 mental health system routes patients through community mental health teams, psychiatric hospitals, and HZZO-linked outpatient clinics that often carry multi-week queues, especially for specialist psychotherapy. Grouport's online individual therapy sits alongside that system as a private, tailored option: one licensed clinician, weekly 45 minute sessions, and continuity with the same therapist across a full course of care. Croatian clients skip the referral chain, choose an evening or weekday slot that fits their work schedule in CET, and build a private therapeutic relationship in English rather than waiting on a public slot or piecing together short private appointments. The subscription runs $103 per session ($448 per month) or $224 per month for every-other-week ($224 per month), all on HIPAA-compliant video from home.
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 English-speaking psychotherapist inside Croatia is uneven outside the largest cities, and Grouport gives Croatian clients direct access to a bench of licensed English-speaking 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 40 to 80 euros without a guaranteed English-speaking 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 in English 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 $448 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 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 English-speaking 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.

“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.”

"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."

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).
Living with ongoing chronic health challenges is isolating and many people don't get what it's like. Being in individual therapy with others managing chronic conditions reduces that isolation significantly. You’ll also get practical coping strategies from people who actually live the same or similar reality. Groups help members live fully despite limitations their chronic illness may present.
You don't need to share every detail to benefit from group. You can participate meaningfully without sharing every detail of your life. You can keep it high level by talking about patterns, feelings, or what you're struggling with conceptually. Ultimately, you totally control your level of disclosure. Many people surprise themselves by sharing more than expected once trust builds. By recognizing the commonalities people experience in the group, most people ultimately feel comfortable sharing more than what they would have though they’d feel comfortable sharing. It is precisely being vulnerable with others and confiding in others, which serves as a major driver of improved therapeutic outcomes and why online individual therapy is so successful.
Yes, anger management individual sessions are highly effective and are a tremendous help in navigating the ins and out of anger challenges. Group is ideal for anger work because you receive honest feedback about how your anger affects others, you practice managing frustration in real situations, and you learn from others' struggles and successes, and are held accountable by your peers. In addition to general anger management groups, we also find that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) individual sessions are highly effective for anger as they help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills like lashing out in relationships and rage.
Give it some time. Feeling Initial discomfort is normal. If after a couple of sessions you still feel like you’re questioning whether the group is the right fit or not, talk to a care coordinator and they can help you explore what might be best for you. Maybe a different group would be a better fit, or perhaps it's worth sticking with the group to see if it's just taking some time to ease into it, which can happen before you find your rhythm with the group. You can always switch individual sessions at any time in the event you wish to switch to another group, and a care coordinator will work with you to make sure you’re happy with your group fit.
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.
