PhD

Licensed In:
California, Colorado
“I work with people who are competent on the outside and depleted underneath — the ones everyone else leans on, who rarely get asked how they're doing. That includes adults navigating burnout, anxiety, grief, big transitions, and the long tail of trauma. Adolescents and young adults sorting out identity, pressure, and family expectations. Parents who want to stay connected to a kid who's pulling away. Families trying to shift a pattern that's outlasted everyone's patience. I also work with people preparing for or integrating psychedelic experiences. Therapy with me is direct, warm and focused on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I ask questions, share what I notice, and don't sit behind a blank screen. Most of my clients are used to holding or doing things alone and come therapy so we can figure things out together.”

“I work with people of all ages and have a special interest in how online life (social media, gaming, online dating, etc.) impacts our mental health and self-image. As a queer person myself, I understand the importance of feeling seen, safe, and understood, and aim to offer that to every client I meet. A big part of my work is helping folks build a better relationship with their bodies — whether you're fat, thin, in between, transitioning, aging, disabled, or just feeling disconnected from yourself. I approach body image through the lens of fat acceptance and body liberation, and together we can explore what it means to live in your body without shame, pressure, or apology.”

About Group Therapy

Online group therapy brings several people together with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions to focus on shared concerns, goals, skills, or life experiences. Groups may support anxiety, depression, grief, trauma recovery, stress, burnout, parenting, relationships, identity, life transitions, or other common challenges.

Therapy Expanded helps you compare therapist-led online groups by state, focus area, age group, insurance, schedule, and availability. Group therapy can be a helpful option if you want connection, shared perspective, and structured support from others doing similar work. If you prefer private one-on-one care, browse individual therapy. If the concern involves a teen or family dynamic, teen therapy or family therapy may also be relevant.

What To Know About Online Group Therapy

Online group therapy is a form of mental health care that brings several participants together with a licensed therapist through a secure telehealth platform, usually by video. Instead of meeting one-on-one, group members share space, support, and guidance around common concerns, goals, or life experiences.

For many people, online group therapy offers something individual therapy cannot: the chance to feel less alone. Hearing from others who understand what you are going through can be validating, grounding, and deeply reassuring. Group therapy can help people build insight, practice communication, learn coping skills, and experience support in real time with others who are doing similar work.

Online group therapy may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma recovery, stress, burnout, parenting, relationships, identity, or life transitions. Some groups are psychoeducational and skills-based, while others are more process-oriented and centered on open discussion. Some are general support groups, while others are designed for specific populations or experiences.

It is also important to know that group therapy is not the same as a casual support chat. A trained therapist guides the group, sets expectations, and helps create structure, emotional safety, and healthy boundaries. Most groups also have clear agreements around privacy, participation, and respect.

Online group therapy can be a strong fit for people who want connection, shared perspective, and a more affordable therapy option. At the same time, it may not be right for every situation. Some people prefer private one-on-one care, and some concerns may call for individual therapy, crisis support, or a higher level of care. A qualified provider can help determine whether online group therapy makes sense for your needs.

How Does Online Group Therapy Work?

Online group therapy usually begins with finding a provider or practice that offers telehealth groups aligned with your needs. Directory profiles often include the group’s focus, who it is for, the therapist leading it, the cost, and whether new members can join now or need to wait for the next start date.

Before joining, many providers schedule a brief consultation, screening call, or intake process. This helps the therapist make sure the group is a good fit for your goals and helps you understand what to expect. Some groups are “open,” meaning people can join as space becomes available. Others are “closed,” meaning the same members start and finish together over a set period of time.

Once enrolled, you will receive instructions for joining the group online, along with information about expectations and confidentiality. Sessions usually happen on a regular schedule, often weekly. Most groups meet by secure video, and participants are typically asked to join from a quiet, private space where they can focus and speak freely.

During sessions, the therapist guides discussion, introduces topics or exercises when relevant, and helps the group stay respectful, balanced, and productive. Depending on the type of group, members may share personal experiences, practice skills, reflect on patterns, or respond to one another in supportive ways. You are not expected to perform or share everything at once. Like any therapy setting, trust tends to build over time.

As the group continues, many people find that the shared format helps them feel more connected, more accountable, and more understood. Online group therapy works best when participants show up consistently, respect group boundaries, and stay open to both giving and receiving support.

How to Find the Right Online Group Therapy Option

Finding the right online group therapy provider starts with understanding what kind of group you are looking for. Some groups are focused on specific concerns like anxiety, grief, trauma, or burnout. Others are built around identities, life stages, or shared experiences. The more closely the group matches your goals, the more useful it is likely to feel.

Next, look at the therapist leading the group. Make sure the provider is licensed, experienced in group work, and clear about the group’s purpose and structure. Running a strong therapy group requires more than just clinical knowledge. It also takes skill in guiding discussion, managing boundaries, and creating a space where people feel safe and included.

It also helps to understand the format. Ask whether the group is open or closed, how many people typically attend, how long sessions last, and whether the group is more educational, skills-based, or process-oriented. Some people prefer a structured group with a clear agenda. Others want more room for discussion and connection.

Practical fit matters too. Review the cost, insurance details, schedule, attendance expectations, and technology requirements. Because group therapy depends on consistency, finding a group that fits your budget and routine can make a big difference in whether you stick with it.

When available, a consultation can help you decide whether the group feels right. Ask who the group is designed for, what participation usually looks like, and how the therapist handles privacy and group dynamics online. The right provider should help you feel informed, respected, and comfortable enough to take the first step. Our directory makes that search easier by helping you compare providers and connect with a group that fits your needs.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Online Group Therapy FAQs

What is online group therapy?

Online group therapy is therapist-led counseling that takes place remotely with multiple participants at the same time. Sessions are usually held by video and focus on shared support, skill-building, discussion, and emotional growth around common concerns or experiences.

How is online group therapy different from individual therapy?

Individual therapy is private and one-on-one. Group therapy includes other participants and creates space for shared learning, support, and perspective. Both can be helpful, but group therapy offers the added benefit of connection with others who may understand what you are going through.

What can online group therapy help with?

Online group therapy may help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma recovery, burnout, social isolation, relationship patterns, self-esteem, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Some groups also focus on specific populations, such as parents, young adults, or people navigating loss.

Is online group therapy effective?

Research suggests that online group therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for many people, but the evidence is still developing. A 2025 systematic review of 15 randomized controlled trials comparing online and face-to-face group interventions found that most studies reported comparable outcomes across formats.

Do I have to talk during every session?

Not necessarily. Participation is encouraged, but most people take some time to get comfortable. You may listen more at first and share more as trust builds. A good group therapist helps create a space where participation feels supported rather than forced.

Will I still feel a real connection with the group online?

Yes, many people do. A strong connection is built through trust, consistency, empathy, and feeling understood, not only through being in the same room. In group therapy, people often also feel connected to other members over time, which can make the experience feel especially supportive and real.

Is online group therapy private and confidential?

Reputable providers typically use secure telehealth platforms and explain privacy expectations before the group begins. Group members are also usually asked to agree not to share what others discuss outside the session. While therapists can set clear boundaries, confidentiality in group therapy also depends on every member respecting the group’s privacy.

How much does online group therapy cost?

The cost of online group therapy varies by provider, specialty, and session length, but it is often more affordable than individual therapy. Some providers offer private-pay rates, while others may offer sliding-scale options or accept insurance. Group details are often listed on the provider profile.

Can I use insurance for online group therapy?

Sometimes. Insurance coverage for group therapy and telehealth can vary depending on your plan and the provider. It is a good idea to check with both the provider and your insurance company to understand what may be covered and what your out-of-pocket costs might be.

Can I participate in online group therapy if I move or travel?

Sometimes. It depends on where you are physically located during sessions and whether your therapist is licensed or otherwise authorized there. For help searching across locations, see our guide to finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.

What’s the difference between online group therapy and an online support group?

Online group therapy is a clinical mental health service led by a licensed therapist or other qualified mental health provider. It usually has clear treatment goals and may focus on skill-building, emotional processing, behavior change, or working through specific mental health concerns in a structured setting.

An online support group is typically centered more on shared experience, community, and mutual encouragement. Some support groups are peer-led, while others are facilitated by an organization or professional, but they are usually less formal and less treatment-focused than therapy.

Both can be helpful. Group therapy is often the better fit when you are looking for professional mental health treatment, while a support group may be a good option when you want connection, validation, and space to relate to others going through something similar.

When is online group therapy not the right choice?

Online group therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate crisis, need emergency support, require highly individualized care, or do not have a private space to attend sessions. In those situations, individual therapy, in-person care, or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
