Managing chronic illness can be incredibly draining, but with effective, evidence-based support, you can start reclaiming your life. At Grouport, our licensed therapists specialize in helping you cope with chronic illness thoughtfully and compassionately. Here are some of our approaches:
Catastrophic thoughts associated with chronic illness can quickly destroy your motivation, but CBT works to help you reframe those thoughts in a more positive way. Over time, you can start developing flexible, sustainable behavior patterns—like pacing activity to match your energy levels.
By clarifying your personal values in a clear, positive way, you can strengthen acceptance of your illness and take meaningful actions within your physical limits.
Practices like mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) promote emotional regulation, reduce stress and pain, and enhance overall quality for chronic illness sufferers.
With narrative therapy, you can start reframing your illness story in a way that helps you achieve empowerment, meaning, and resilience.

If you're signing up for a bundled plan (multiple groups, group + individual therapy) or for another therapy type like individual, couples, family, teen therapy, or IOP, a care coordinator will reach out to you via email and/or phone after signup to understand your needs and match you with the right therapist and schedule of your choosing.
✅You’ll be able to choose your group and therapist.

Online chronic illness therapy sessions are conducted once a week, at the same time each week (similar to in-person sessions). You’ll meet with others who struggle with chronic illness-related symptoms.
For some of our chronic illness-related therapy groups, an initial consultation is required before you join your first group session. You'll know if this is applicable, if it prompts you to schedule a consultation after signing up. If this is the case, then the initial consultation is the first step after you sign up. It is a 20-minute, one-on-one assessment led by a trained mental health professional.
Whether chronic illness has impacted your work, relationships, or family life, a consultation can help us understand your unique situation and match you with the best online therapy group. Regardless of whether it prompts you to schedule a consultation or not, a care coordinator can always go over your needs and make sure you're in the group you're happy with.

Each online therapy group session is 60 minutes.
Chronic illness therapy groups contain a maximum of 12 members, and we continue adding people to your group until it reaches full capacity. Typically, groups operate with 6–8 members at any given time. In addition to these members, all groups are led by a licensed therapist who specializes in the group’s needs.
If you’re not prompted to create a member portal account when signing up, your sessions will take place via weekly video links sent by email. You’ll receive a confirmation email with details about your therapy match, and then a reminder email 24 hours before each session containing that week’s unique link. (Note: the link changes each week.)
If you do create a member portal account during signup, your sessions will take place within the portal, except for your initial consultation. You’ll receive a confirmation email with a unique link for that first consultation. After that, you’ll be able to log into the portal and join your weekly sessions directly from the homepage.
You do not need to talk during the group if you do not feel comfortable. We understand that it can be hard to have the motivation to speak, and if you prefer to just listen and observe, there is definitely benefit in doing so.
In fact, you could remain anonymous by adopting a nickname. 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.
According to prominent psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Irvin Yalom, online group therapy services demonstrate numerous major benefits that make it as effective as individual family therapy.

Online teen therapy is designed to support adolescents through the unique emotional, social, and developmental challenges that come with being a teen today. It offers a private, judgment-free space where teens can talk openly with a licensed therapist, build healthy coping skills, and get support tailored to their needs.
It can be especially helpful for teens who are:
For the most well-rounded care, many teens benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan that combines both online individual therapy and online group therapy. Individual sessions provide personalized support and skill-building, while group therapy helps teens connect with others facing similar challenges — reducing isolation and building a sense of community.
Whether a teen is facing a specific issue or just needs someone to talk to, online therapy makes it easier than ever to get the support they need — in a space that feels accessible, safe, and empowering.
Grouport’s online IOP offers a high-touch, comprehensive level of care for those who need more support than traditional weekly therapy—without putting life on pause. We offer separate IOP tracks for teens and adults, ensuring that each individual receives care tailored to their unique stage of life and needs.
1) Treats a wide range of mental health challenges
Grouport’s online IOP supports individuals managing complex or co-occurring mental health conditions. Whether you're seeking care for yourself or your teen, our therapists specialize in treating:
2) Built on evidence-based treatment modalities
Our IOP blends multiple therapy types across group and individual sessions, providing robust, personalized care. These include:
3) Group support creates connection and accountability
Group therapy is at the core of Grouport’s IOP experience. These sessions foster connection, reduce isolation, and create space to learn and grow alongside others with similar challenges. Members not only benefit from expert guidance but also gain strength and perspective from peer support.
4) Fully online and designed to fit your life
With flexible scheduling and multiple time slots (including evenings), our virtual IOP makes it possible to receive structured, intensive support while still managing work,family responsibilities, or school. You can access care from anywhere — no travel or disruption required.
Whether you're an adult or the parent of a teen needing a higher level of care, Grouport’s online IOP offers structured, expert-led treatment that’s accessible, effective, and built around your needs.
Grouport’s virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, therapist-led care through a fully online experience — offering a higher level of support than traditional weekly therapy, without the need for inpatient treatment.
We offer separate IOP tracks for adults and teens, so each person receives age-appropriate care tailored to their stage of life.
Here’s how it works:
Grouport’s virtual IOP is ideal for anyone experiencing intense symptoms or in need of a more comprehensive level of care — all while maintaining the flexibility of your daily routine from home.
Grouport’s virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for adults and teens who need a higher level of support than traditional once-weekly therapy can provide. Many of our clients have recently transitioned from a higher level of care (such as inpatient, residential treatment, or a hospital stay), or are seeking more frequent, structured care to manage serious mental health conditions or life-altering stressors.
Unlike standard outpatient therapy, which typically involves one session per week, Grouport’s IOP provides multiple sessions each week to deliver deeper, more consistent therapeutic support. Each participant attends 9 group therapy sessions and 1 individual therapy session per week, all held virtually through secure video chat.
Treatment is personalized based on your needs. For example, a client experiencing OCD may receive Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), while someone navigating BPD may focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Our licensed therapists use a range of evidence-based approaches — including CBT, DBT, ERP, and mindfulness-based techniques — depending on what’s most clinically appropriate for your symptoms and goals.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of more intensive care — but still want to maintain your daily routine — Grouport’s virtual IOP offers expert-led, accessible, and flexible support from wherever you are.
Your privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities. Grouport uses HIPAA-compliant systems and end-to-end encrypted technology to protect your personal health information.
✅ HIPAA-Compliant – We follow strict privacy regulations to safeguard your data.

Your information is never shared without your consent, and we take every measure to maintain the highest standards of security and confidentiality.
We offer flexible therapy options, including group, individual, couples, and family therapy. Our pricing is based on a flat monthly rate for consistency. However, since months have an average of 4.33 weeks, some months will have 4 sessions, while others will have 5 sessions at no extra cost.
This means that in months with 5 sessions, your per-session cost is even lower, giving you extra value!

Your subscription auto-renews based on your chosen payment schedule, and some plans allow for weekly or every-other-week sessions, depending on your needs.
Our mission is to make quality therapy affordable and accessible. Grouport’s rates are significantly lower than the U.S. average, with costs that average out over time because some months have 4 sessions, while others have 5 sessions at no extra cost—thanks to the fact that months have an average of 4.33 weeks.
✅ Group Therapy: Averages $23-$32 per session ($100 - $140/month) (vs. $50-$150 per session elsewhere)
✅ Individual Therapy: Averages $103 per session ($448/month) (vs. $150-$200 per session elsewhere)
✅ Couples Therapy: Averages $114 per session ($492/month) (vs. $150-$200 per session elsewhere)

💡 Even More Savings:
Pay quarterly (save 10%) or biannually (save 20%) for even lower rates
We currently do not accept insurance — and we understand that’s an important factor when choosing chronic illness therapy. Grouport was built to provide high-quality, structured mental health support that’s affordable, flexible, and accessible — even without insurance.
💡 Here’s why thousands choose Grouport:
✅ Flat monthly pricing — no surprise bills, claims, or deductibles
✅ FSA/HSA eligible — use your HSA or FSA card at checkout
✅ Sessions average over time as low as $23–$32 for group therapy and $103 for individual therapy
✅ 4–5 sessions per month at the same flat monthly rate — no surprise extra charge in 5-week months. Many other services cap sessions at 4 per month or charge extra for a 5th session.
✅ Individual sessions are 45 minutes (longer than the 30-minute average on many platforms)
✅ Group sessions are a full 60 minutes, led by licensed therapists
→ Grouport offers structured, therapist-led group sessions that deliver real skills and connection — often at a cost lower than the average insurance co-pay or coinsurance.
✅ Add more, save more – Each additional group session is ~30% off, and discounts also apply when adding extra individual, couples, or family therapy sessions per week
✅ Save even more — get 10% off when paying quarterly or 20% off when paying biannually
While many people assume therapy is fully covered by insurance, the reality is that coverage is often limited or partial, and depends heavily on your specific plan. Some plans only reimburse therapy after you’ve met a high deductible, or may restrict the number or duration of sessions covered.
We can however provide you with detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. The reimbursement amount will vary based on your plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your eligibility.
Unlike insurance-based therapy, Grouport doesn’t require a diagnosis, medical records, or clinical justifications to access care. Many insurance plans only cover therapy if there’s a diagnosed mental health disorder — and may require your therapist to submit treatment plans or progress notes. At Grouport, your care stays between you and your therapist — giving you more privacy, more control, and faster access to support.
What makes Grouport different? It starts with how we deliver care.
We provide more care, more time, and more flexibility — all at a price that’s clear, consistent, and affordable.
Unlike most platforms that focus solely on individual therapy or asynchronous text messaging, Grouport’s core strength is structured, therapist-led group therapy — a rare and powerful format designed to help members build skills, find connection, and make real progress. It’s especially effective for those navigating complex or persistent mental health challenges.
Few platforms offer online group therapy. Fewer do it well — and at a price this accessible.
And while group therapy is our specialty, we also offer individual, couples, family, teen therapy, and IOP — all designed to work together or on their own, depending on your goals. Whether you're looking for focused support or a more comprehensive care plan, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Our group plans are often more affordable than the average monthly cost of major therapy platforms — even with insurance.
Additional benefits include:
✔️ Start care within hours to days — not weeks or months
✔️ Therapist and group matching based on your preferences
✔️ Evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, trauma, BPD, Bipolar, OCD, and more
✔️ Specialized support for high-acuity and treatment-resistant conditions
✔️ The ability to switch groups or therapists anytime
Whether you’re looking for your first therapy experience, standalone support, or want to combine group therapy with individual care, Grouport offers better access, greater value, and a care experience built around real, measurable progress.
Not sure where to start? Just reach out — we’ll help you find the care that’s right for you.
