No, therapy sessions are not allowed to be recorded for confidentiality reasons. However, if you want to remember specific exercises or coping skills from your session from material that is being referenced during the session, you can ask your therapist to have our administrative staff email you the resources after your appointment if the therapist is willing to provide such materials to email to you. Certain types of sessions, like our DBT groups, come with reading manuals that we universally provide and you can review on your own time at your own pace outside of sessions. You can also take notes during sessions.

While video is recommended for the best therapeutic experience, you have options if you're uncomfortable on camera. For private sessions, like individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy that would just be private with you and the therapist, so for that video should be on. For group sessions, which include other members that you do not know personally, you can turn off your camera and use audio only, though your therapist may occasionally ask you to turn it on briefly for check-ins. Some clients start with audio only and become more comfortable with video over time, though we do recommend keeping video on as that provides for the most therapeutic benefit. You can also adjust the video settings so you don't see yourself if that helps with camera anxiety. For group sessions specifically, most members are surprised by how quickly they feel comfortable in the group setting, and report that sharing and being vulnerable with others is precisely the leading element to their recovery process. Talk with your therapist about your concerns, they can help you find a format that feels comfortable while still providing effective treatment.

Yes, you can attend sessions from any device with a camera and microphone as long as you have stable internet and privacy.

Bringing outside experiences into individual therapy is central to therapy. Whatever's happening in your life is material for group. However, dominating every session with outside content without engaging within the confines of group process limits benefits so it’s important to balance between bringing outside issues, listening to others in the group, and participating in group's here and now interactions. The therapist facilitates using outside examples productively, focusing on relevant skills that require time to go over, while maintaining group cohesion. Your life outside group is always relevant material and you should certainly incorporate things that happen in your life into group as that is why you are there.

Grouport's online individual therapy is already one of the most affordable therapy options out there at $25 - $35 per session ($448/month), depending on the group you’re in. That's significantly cheaper than almost any other type of therapy out there. Maybe you can use receipts to get out of network insurance reimbursement, or use HSA/FSA funds. When paying quarterly or biannually, you also do receive discounts. While we try to make our services as affordable as possible, we understand that cost is a reality that people face and everyone's financial situation is different. Sometimes taking a planned break with the intention to return when finances improve helps. The goal is supporting your treatment access with what is financially viable for you.

For some people, yes. For others, online individual therapy and individual therapy work best together. Depends totally based on what you need. Group gives you connection and perspective while individual gives you focused personal attention. Neither is inherently better, they just serve different purposes. Many people start with online individual therapy at first and add individual therapy later on, or attend group and add individual therapy when specific issues arise. A care coordinator or your therapist can help you determine whether group alone, individual alone, or both best serves your needs and ultimately you can decide that and your needs may adjust over time.

Group therapy is particularly effective for assertiveness building because you practice in real-time. In group sessions you can practice speaking up, saying what you need, setting boundaries, and disagreeing respectfully. You get immediate feedback and can try again the following session for consistent practice. Real-time practice beats talking about assertiveness in theory. Assertiveness is learned through doing, not just discussing and individual sessions offer a perfect practice environment to build these skills. Skills learned in group transfer to outside relationships and work situations and people often notice how it impacts that rather quickly for the better.

Yes. Grouport serves clients all over the world. We work with people in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere.

We offer session times at all times of the day for both individual and group therapy, so we can get you set up with sessions at times that are convenient for your schedule.

Many of our therapists are bilingual or they speak other languages, so it's just a matter of the therapist. So, we probably do have a therapist who speaks your native language. However, Grouport primarily offers therapy in English, so if you speak english you’ll definitely be good. Our group sessions are also predominantly done in English. If you're comfortable discussing your emotions and experiences in English, therapy can work well even if it's not your first language and you’re not perfect at it. Ultimately, it's more important to work with a quality therapist who specializes in your needs even if there are some gaps in communication due to language barriers. Let us know what language support you need and we’ll discuss the therapist options we have for you.

You can switch therapists at any time, and there is never a fee. You are able to switch therapists freely without financial penalty. Therapy relationship is crucial, so we are committed to working with you to make sure you're in the right fit and you can always switch therapists or groups at any time until you are happy with the fit.

Grouport groups draw members from across Europe, North America, and beyond, and Slovak participants from Bratislava, Kosice, Zilina, and smaller towns often find the mixed individual care easier to open up in than a local room where stigma still weighs on conversations. Sessions run in English, comfortable for younger urban professionals and the international workforce around Slovakia's automotive and IT sectors. Licensed therapists guide weekly video sessions of one-on-one members, and shared themes like burnout, anxiety, and family expectations translate readily across borders.

Each week you log into a HIPAA-secure video room from anywhere in Slovakia, whether Bratislava, Presov, or a village in the Tatras, at a consistent Central European Time slot. Sessions run about 60 minutes with one-on-one members and one licensed therapist who opens with a brief check-in, introduces a focused theme such as managing anxiety or relationship patterns, and guides structured discussion. At roughly $103 per session, well below the 40 to 70 euros typical for private psychotherapists, you join right away rather than waiting 6 weeks.
