Online Teen Therapy

Grouport offers trauma-informed teen therapy through licensed therapists trained in evidence-based trauma treatment, available through both individual and group formats.

What this includes:

1. Licensed therapists experienced in treating trauma, PTSD, and related symptoms in adolescents.
2. Trauma-informed therapy delivered one-on-one, in a group setting with peers who understand similar experiences, or both together.
3. Evidence-based methods appropriate for trauma, applied within a personalized care plan rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
4. Grouport's virtual IOP therapy as an option for teens whose trauma symptoms need more intensive, multi-session weekly support.
‍

This makes Grouport a practical option for parents specifically searching for teen therapy for trauma or online therapy for teen trauma, rather than general adolescent counseling that doesn't specialize in trauma.

Grouport's online teen therapy includes specialized support for social anxiety, one of the anxiety disorders its therapists are trained to treat in adolescents. A licensed counselor for teens works with your teen using evidence-based methods like CBT to address anxious thought patterns and gradually build confidence in social situations, whether that's school, friendships, or new environments. Teens can start with private, one-on-one individual sessions if social settings currently feel too overwhelming, then add teen group therapy later on for structured practice connecting with peers once they're ready, an approach particularly well suited to anxiety therapy for teenagers who need to build comfort with social interaction gradually rather than all at once.

For teens with more severe depression symptoms, Grouport offers both standard weekly teen therapy and virtual IOP therapy, a higher level of care for adolescents who need more than once-a-week support.

Grouport's virtual IOP for teens includes 9 group therapy sessions and 1 individual therapy session per week, all delivered by licensed therapists using evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, tailored to the severity of what a teen is experiencing. This structure gives families a clear path to escalate care if standard teen therapy for depression isn't providing enough support, without requiring inpatient or residential treatment. A care coordinator can help determine which level of care, weekly individual therapy or the more intensive IOP program, fits your teen's specific situation.

‍

Yes, online teen therapy through Grouport is delivered by the same caliber of licensed therapists using the same evidence-based methods as in-person anxiety therapy for teenagers, just over secure video chat instead of in an office.

What stays consistent between formats:

1. Licensed therapists trained in treating adolescent anxiety, using methods like CBT.
2. Weekly, recurring sessions with the same therapist for continuity.
3. The same confidentiality and clinical standards as in-person care.
4. The option to add teen group therapy for peer connection and additional practice managing anxiety in social settings.

For many teens, virtual sessions also lower the barrier to consistent attendance, no commute, more schedule flexibility, and a familiar environment can make it easier for an anxious teen to actually show up and engage each week.

Grouport's teen individual therapy costs $112 per session, billed at $448 per month for 4 sessions, compared to the $150-$200 per session average for individual therapy elsewhere in the U.S. Teen group therapy costs $35 per session, billed at $140 per month for 4 sessions, well under the $50-$200 per session typical of group therapy outside Grouport. Pricing for the teen virtual IOP program is available on request, since it's tailored to each teen's specific treatment needs. Across every format, Grouport's flat monthly pricing gives families a predictable cost for online teen therapy without per-session billing surprises.

‍

No, Grouport is currently out of network and doesn't accept insurance directly for individual teen therapy sessions.

1. Individual teen therapy costs $112 per 45-minute session, below the $150-$200 per session average for therapy elsewhere in the U.S.
2. Families can request an invoice each billing cycle to submit to their insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
3. Reimbursement amounts depend entirely on your specific insurance provider's policy, so it's worth checking with your plan directly.

This flat, transparent pricing keeps online teen therapy accessible for families even without insurance coverage.

‍

Telling your parents you need therapy can feel intimidating, but a few simple steps can make the conversation easier.

1. Plan out the conversation and practice what you want to say beforehand.
2. Find the right time to talk, when things are calm rather than in the middle of a stressful moment.
3. Do some research on what you're experiencing, so you can explain it clearly.
4. Be honest about your feelings, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
5. If speaking feels too hard, try writing your thoughts in a letter or an email instead.

Once your parents are on board, Grouport's online teen therapy makes it straightforward to get started, an adult can sign up on your behalf, and you'll be matched with a counselor for teens suited to what you're going through.

‍

Yes, teens can participate in individual therapy and teen group therapy at the same time, and many find this combination works best for their needs. Individual sessions provide personalized, one-on-one support and skill-building focused entirely on your teen's specific situation, while group therapy adds peer connection and a sense of community with other teens facing similar challenges. Combining both formats is one of the flexible plan options available through Grouport's online teen therapy, and a care coordinator can help build a combined plan around your teen's schedule and specific goals.
