Online Family Therapy in California

Each of our virtual family therapy sessions runs for a full 60 minutes, providing plenty of time to work through meaningful topics together.

Yes, the family therapy experience is entirely private and is designed specifically for your household or the group of loved ones you choose to include. Participation is completely at your discretion and only includes those you personally invite.

There is no fixed limit to the number of participants. Typically, families involve at least three people, and although we suggest up to 12 members for optimal interaction during the hour-long sessions, you are absolutely welcome to include more if that best serves your needs.

If you’re not asked to set up a member portal account during the sign-up process, your weekly sessions will be hosted through individual video links sent to your email. You’ll first get a confirmation message outlining your therapy match, followed by reminder emails 24 hours before every session. Each of these reminders will contain that week’s unique video link, which changes on a weekly basis.

However, if you are prompted to create a member portal account at signup, then your sessions will take place within that portal, with the exception of your initial consultation. You’ll be sent a confirmation email that includes a special link for that first consultation. After this introductory session, you’ll be able to access all your future sessions directly by logging into the member portal and clicking the link from the homepage.

Online family therapy draws on various methods, each specifically designed to enhance communication, strengthen relationships, and improve how families function together. A few commonly applied techniques are:

• Structural Family Therapy: This method emphasizes analyzing the roles and rules that shape a family’s interactions. By identifying imbalances and restructuring boundaries, families can achieve more cohesive and healthy patterns of relating.
• Brief Strategic Family Therapy: With a focus on identifying specific behavioral issues, this approach empowers families to develop direct solutions and practical steps that can address dysfunctional interactions and encourage positive change.
  
• Narrative Family Therapy: Rather than viewing individuals as defined by their problems, this method guides families to see issues as separate from their identities. It encourages the rewriting of personal and shared narratives to promote healing and growth.
  
• Attachment-Based Family Therapy: Concentrating on emotional closeness, this technique helps children and adolescents feel safer and more connected to their parents or guardians by addressing trust and attachment issues.

• Confidentiality
  All family therapy discussions are completely private and protected. Nothing shared during sessions is disclosed outside of the therapy setting.
• Respectful communication
  Therapists encourage every family member to engage in discussions that are respectful and free from judgment. Ground rules may be introduced to support a safe space, such as focusing on expressing personal experiences instead of placing blame on others.
  
• Clear roles and responsibilities
  A central goal of therapy can be to help everyone in the family gain a better understanding of their unique role. The therapist may assist in defining expectations for how each person contributes to the family's dynamic.
  
• Healthy boundaries between family members
  Therapists guide family members in developing boundaries that foster emotional independence, such as giving one another personal space, honoring privacy, and balancing how much support is given and received.
• Respect for cultural and individual differences
  The therapist takes into account each family member's individual background and cultural context. They support the family in recognizing, accepting, and embracing these differences as strengths.

Online family therapy benefits families of many different types, such as parents and their children, siblings who are adults, households with multiple generations, blended families, and those adjusting to caregiving responsibilities. Whether your family is dealing with conflict or looking to build stronger bonds, therapy offers support in improving connection, communication, and mutual understanding at any point in life.

Family therapy may be a good fit if your family is:

• Experiencing lingering disagreements or frequent miscommunications
• Adjusting to big life changes such as separation, bereavement, relocation, or evolving caregiving roles
  
• Coping with emotional, behavioral, or physical health conditions that influence family life
  
• Dealing with recurring friction among parents, grown children, or siblings
• Noticing that individual therapy hasn’t resolved concerns tied to broader family interactions
• Carrying the weight of trauma or long-standing intergenerational dynamics
• Willing to join forces to foster stronger, more respectful relationships

Family therapy offers a supportive environment for progress, even if your family is currently functioning well. Whether you all live together or apart, it’s a place to reconnect and grow.

We do not currently participate in any insurance networks. However, we’ve kept our rates below the national average to ensure our services remain competitive. A 60-minute private family therapy session with us is priced at $160, while across the U.S., family therapy can cost anywhere between $175 and $300 per session. Over time, due to the occasional fifth session within a month, the average session cost through Grouport comes to around $148.

If you wish to seek reimbursement through your insurance provider, we can provide a detailed invoice after each billing period. Many clients successfully submit these invoices to request out-of-network reimbursement, although the amount returned to you will depend on the specifics of your individual insurance policy.

Absolutely. You have the flexibility to adjust your plan whenever needed, whether you want to increase or decrease your number of sessions or move to a new billing cycle. Any changes you make will go into effect right away.

✅ Upgrading your plan

•  Adding more sessions per week (e.g., 1 session/week → 2 sessions/week).
• Switching to a longer billing cycle (e.g., Monthly → Quarterly).
• You’ll be charged a prorated difference based on the time remaining in your current plan.

✅ Downgrading your plan

• Reducing the number of sessions per week (e.g., 3 sessions/week → 1 session/week).
•    Switching to a shorter billing cycle (e.g., Quarterly → Monthly).
•    This will result in a credit applied to your next renewal.

You are also free to cancel your subscription at any time. When you choose to cancel, you will still receive services for the remainder of your current monthly billing cycle. To proceed with canceling, please reach out to support@grouporttherapy.com, and a team member will send you a short cancellation form to fill out for your family’s membership.

Your membership will not be considered canceled until this form is completed and submitted. Without this step, the subscription will remain active, and billing will continue. Once you have submitted the form, services will end at the close of your current billing period.

✅ No long-term commitment – cancel whenever you need.
✅ Full access through your last monthly billing period after canceling.

In cases where your family needs to shift the timing of a specific therapy session now and then, your therapist is available to help you find a new slot for that week, provided you give advance notice. We do encourage families to limit how often they make such changes to individual sessions, so that the regular weekly appointment time remains consistent. This helps maintain routine and makes scheduling easier for everyone. If your family ever experiences a broader schedule change and needs to revise the recurring weekly session time, your therapist and our administrative team will work with you to select a new recurring time that fits more comfortably into your updated weekly routine.
