Sessions for individual teens last forty-five minutes, offering ample time for focused discussion and skill-building. Group sessions are sixty minutes, providing structured opportunities for interaction, shared exercises, and peer support.

Online teen therapy helps adolescents manage the unique challenges of their stage of life, providing a private, secure environment to explore feelings, develop coping strategies, and engage with licensed professionals.

It is particularly beneficial for teens who are:

• Struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or mood swings
• Navigating friendships, peer pressure, or social anxiety
• Dealing with school-related stress, perfectionism, or academic burnout
• Coping with family conflict, divorce, or major life changes
• Working through trauma, grief, or loss
• Managing diagnoses such as  BPD, Bipolar, OCD, PTSD, ADHD
• Experiencing low self-esteem, body image concerns, or identity confusion
• Engaging in risky behaviors, self-harm, or substance use
• Needing support with emotional regulation, communication, or confidence
  ‍

For optimal emotional support, many adolescents benefit from a combination of online individual therapy and online group therapy. Individual sessions give teens the opportunity to focus on their specific concerns, practice coping techniques, and receive guidance from a licensed professional. Group therapy complements this by enabling interaction with peers who face similar challenges, encouraging understanding, empathy, and a sense of community.

This approach allows teens to access mental health care in a secure, flexible, and empowering online environment that meets both their individual and social needs.

Grouport’s online Intensive Outpatient Program offers a higher level of care than standard weekly therapy, providing structured and intensive support for both adults and teens.

Grouport’s virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, therapist-led mental health care delivered entirely online. This program offers more intensive support than traditional weekly therapy, allowing participants to receive comprehensive care without the need for inpatient hospitalization. Separate tracks for teens and adults ensure care is age-appropriate and tailored to each individual’s stage of life.

Here’s how it works:

• Weekly Schedule: Participants attend nine group therapy sessions each week, in addition to one individual session per week, all conducted via secure, encrypted video chat.

Grouport’s virtual IOP is ideal for individuals requiring intensive, structured care while still maintaining flexibility for home, work, or school commitments.

Grouport’s virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured care for teens and adults seeking a more comprehensive level of support than weekly therapy sessions can offer. Many clients join after higher levels of treatment, such as inpatient care or residential programs, or because they need a consistent therapeutic framework to manage significant mental health issues or daily stressors.

This format provides consistent, high-quality therapeutic support that is both flexible and accessible.

Treatment plans are tailored to the individual’s needs. For example, someone struggling with OCD may follow Exposure and Response Prevention exercises, while someone managing BPD may focus on DBT skills. Therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, ERP, and mindfulness interventions, applied according to the participant’s clinical requirements and goals.
