Online Family Therapy in Illinois

Each online family therapy meeting is set for a duration of 60 minutes. This allows enough time for your therapist to guide your family through meaningful discussion and progress.

Yes, the therapy space is exclusively for your family and those you choose to invite. Your privacy is fully respected throughout each session.

Most families invite at least three members. We suggest a group size of no more than 12 to allow everyone time to speak, but if you wish to include more people, that’s entirely acceptable.

If the system does not ask you to create a member portal account during the signup process, your therapy sessions will be conducted using individual video links delivered to your email every week. You’ll be sent a confirmation email that includes your assigned therapist details. Then, before each session, exactly 24 hours in advance, you’ll receive a separate email with that week’s newly generated session link.

If you do end up making a member portal account during signup, then your future sessions, with the exception of your very first consultation, will all be accessed within that portal. For the initial consultation, a confirmation email will provide a unique video link. After that first meeting, all subsequent sessions can be joined directly from your portal’s homepage.

Online family therapy integrates a variety of therapeutic styles, each meant to boost understanding, promote healthy interaction, and encourage more harmonious family bonds. These typically involve:

• Structural Family Therapy: This intervention brings to light the often unseen frameworks within the family unit, guiding members toward a more functional organization of roles and responsibilities.
• Brief Strategic Family Therapy: Focused on change within a short timeframe, this technique facilitates the development of concrete solutions to specific problems within the family system.
  
• Narrative Family Therapy: Families learn to shift the focus away from blame and towards the broader story, allowing them to better understand each member’s perspective and build a sense of shared meaning.
  
• Attachment-Based Family Therapy: Strengthens the emotional ties that bind family members, especially when those connections have been weakened or strained due to past conflict or misunderstanding.

• Confidentiality
  Sessions are completely private, ensuring that personal matters stay within the therapeutic space.
• Respectful communication
  Therapists promote a speaking style that is thoughtful and constructive. They help family members practice expressing themselves without hostility or assumptions.
  
• Clear roles and responsibilities
  Therapy can help the family unit identify imbalances in responsibility and align on who should do what. This creates a stronger, more supportive dynamic.
  
• Healthy boundaries between family members
  Establishing emotional and physical space is a key part of therapy. The therapist helps members identify unhealthy enmeshment and work toward appropriate independence.
• Respect for cultural and individual differences
  Cultural traditions and personal beliefs are explored in a way that fosters empathy. Therapists encourage families to appreciate how differences can bring strength rather than conflict.

Online family therapy supports a wide range of families, including those with children, siblings in adulthood, several generations under one roof, blended family units, or individuals providing care for loved ones. Whether you're resolving past tensions or building healthier bonds, therapy can help strengthen connection and improve communication over time.

Your family may benefit from therapy if it is:

• Facing persistent arguments or strained communication patterns
• Handling major family changes such as a breakup, death in the family, moving to a new home, or becoming a caregiver
  
• Dealing with the emotional toll of depression, anxiety, addiction, or long-term illness within the family
  
• Struggling with distance or unresolved issues among siblings, parents, or children
• Noticing that individual therapy hasn’t addressed the root causes within the broader family system
• Trying to recover from traumatic experiences or inherited relational patterns
• Eager to collaborate with one another to create healthier bonds

Therapy provides a constructive space for personal and collective growth, even when family life seems relatively calm.

The cost for family therapy through Grouport is $160 per session. When you attend four sessions a month, the total monthly cost is $640. Grouport’s pricing is designed to be affordable compared to the average U.S. rate of $175 to $300 per session for 60-minute family therapy.

$160 per week ($640/month) – billed monthly

• Covers 4-5 sessions per month at the same flat monthly rate
• On average, sessions cost $148 each over time
  

✅ Discounts available when adding multiple sessions per week.

You can choose to pay your family therapy:
✅ Monthly – Standard rate, billed every month.
✅ Quarterly (Save 10%) – Billed every 3 months.
✅ Biannually (Save 20%) – Billed every 6 months.

Your payment plan will auto-renew according to the schedule you’ve chosen. Flexible options are available, allowing for either weekly or biweekly therapy sessions.

We’re driven by the belief that therapy should be as accessible as it is effective, and that’s why Grouport’s rates are structured to be cost-effective for families. Some months include five weeks instead of four, which means that you may receive an extra session at no additional charge, lowering your per-session cost as time goes on.

✅ Family Therapy: Averages $148 per session ($640/month) (vs. $175-$300 per session elsewhere)

💡 Even More Savings:

• Extra discounts when adding more sessions per week.
• Pay quarterly (save 10%) or biannually (save 20%) for even lower rates

While Grouport is currently out-of-network for insurance purposes, our pricing remains competitive. Each 60-minute private family session is priced at $160, compared to a national average that falls between $175 and $300 per session. When the occasional fifth session is included in your monthly plan, the average cost per session may be reduced to around $148.

We are happy to support you in navigating insurance reimbursement. After each billing cycle, we can issue a comprehensive invoice that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. The amount you receive back will depend on the terms of your individual health plan.

Of course. You have complete control over your subscription, including the option to change your session frequency or adjust your billing cycle. Any updates to your plan will be applied right away without delay.

✅ 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 can also cancel your plan whenever you’d like. When you cancel, you will continue receiving services for the rest of your current monthly billing period. To initiate a cancellation, please email support@grouporttherapy.com, and they will provide a brief form you’ll need to fill out to cancel your family’s membership.

The membership is only officially canceled once the form is received. Without submitting it, your account remains active and billing will not stop. Once the form is submitted, your services will come to an end at the close of your present billing month.

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

Should your family occasionally need to move a therapy session to a different day or time, just notify your therapist in advance, and you’ll be able to reschedule for that particular week. However, we encourage limiting these changes in order to preserve the consistency of your recurring appointment. If your overall schedule evolves and your family needs to permanently adjust the weekly therapy slot, both your therapist and our support staff will be available to help you secure a new time that aligns with your family’s calendar.
