Grouport’s online IOP delivers comprehensive, high-touch care for anyone who needs more support than typical weekly therapy, all while keeping daily life on track. Separate IOP programs for teens and adults guarantee that each participant’s care is aligned with their unique life stage and needs.

• Anxiety, panic, and phobias
• Depression and mood disorders (e.g., bipolar)
• ADHD
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• PTSD and trauma
• Borderline personality disorder (BPD) & Personality Disorders
• Grief and loss
• Substance use concerns
• Self-harm and suicidal ideation

  ‍

2) Built on evidence-based treatment modalities

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Mindfulness-based techniques
• Motivational interviewing
• Family therapy support (when appropriate)
  ‍

3) Group support creates connection and accountabilit

Group therapy forms a central element of Grouport’s IOP. These sessions encourage connection, decrease isolation, and offer a chance to learn and grow with others navigating similar challenges. Members benefit from professional guidance and draw strength from peer interaction.

4) Fully online and designed to fit your life

Our online IOP provides flexible scheduling with multiple time slots, including evenings, so you can receive structured, intensive care while managing school, work, or family responsibilities. Care is available from any location, requiring no travel or interruption to daily life.

For adults and parents of teens seeking more intensive support, Grouport’s online IOP offers structured, professional treatment that is accessible, effective, and tailored to individual needs.

The online Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) from Grouport provides structured, therapist-led care in a fully virtual setting, offering a higher level of support than typical weekly therapy without requiring inpatient care.

We maintain separate tracks for adults and teens to make sure that every participant receives care suited to their age and developmental stage.

Here is how the program works:

• Weekly Schedule: Nine group therapy sessions plus one individual session are held each week through secure video chat to accommodate participants’ schedules.
• Tailored Treatment: Treatment is personalized for each participant. ERP is included for OCD, and DBT is the primary approach for BPD.
• Expert-Led & Evidence-Based: Licensed therapists lead every session using proven methods such as DBT, CBT, and ERP where clinically appropriate.
• Skill Building + Peer Support: Sessions integrate structured skill-building with peer engagement to encourage growth, accountability, and shared learning.
• Flexible Access: Participants choose nine group sessions that work for them each week, including evenings. Individual sessions are scheduled at convenient times.
• Ongoing Guidance: Care coordinators ensure the right therapist and group placement and update care plans as participants progress.

Grouport’s virtual IOP offers a structured and comprehensive care option for anyone experiencing severe symptoms, without disrupting your daily routine and all accessible from home.

The virtual IOP offered by Grouport is designed for teens and adults who need more frequent and structured support than standard weekly therapy sessions. Many clients have recently transitioned from higher levels of care such as inpatient or residential programs, or they are seeking intensive therapy to manage serious mental health issues or major life stressors.

Unlike traditional outpatient therapy, which usually consists of one session per week, Grouport’s IOP provides multiple sessions per week for deeper and ongoing therapeutic support. Each participant attends nine group sessions and one individual session per week, all conducted through secure video chat.

Treatment is individualized. Clients with OCD may receive ERP, while participants with BPD may focus on DBT. Licensed therapists employ evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ERP, and mindfulness-based strategies based on clinical needs and treatment goals.

For individuals who need more intensive support while still maintaining daily responsibilities, Grouport’s virtual IOP provides flexible, accessible, and expert-led care from anywhere.

Rare legal exceptions exist, such as when there is a serious, immediate risk of harm to yourself or another individual. In these cases, your therapist is required to notify the appropriate authorities for safety purposes.

Beyond these rare circumstances, your conversations will not be shared without your permission. At the beginning of care, your therapist will provide a clear explanation of their confidentiality obligations to address any concerns you may have.
