Online group therapy is when a small group of people meet on the internet to talk with a licensed mental health professional. These virtual group meetings help people with feelings, behaviors, and thoughts. You meet others who feel the same and get support in a safe space. Each group has a trained therapist or psychiatric provider to guide the conversation.
Online group therapy gives you skills, support, and space to heal. You can share your story and listen to others in therapy groups. It’s a great way to build confidence and coping tools.
You only need the internet and a device. Many people use a patient portal to join group sessions. It’s perfect for those who live far away or can’t travel.
Group therapy is often cheaper than one-on-one counseling. Many groups accept health insurance, Medicare, or offer help with your deductible.
You’ll join a group that understands what you’re going through. This peer support helps with motivation and reduces social stigma around mental health.
Each skills group includes 5–10 people. A mental health professional leads the talk. Sessions may include:
Sharing your feelings like anger, fear, or panic
Learning how to handle stress or insomnia
Talking about mood changes or disorders like bipolar disorder
Learning tools from dialectical behavior therapy
Growing insight into your behavior and emotion
Practicing healthy ways to cope
Many people can benefit, including those with:
