How does my partner sign up for Regain?

Regain is an online relationship therapy platform that can be used by individuals or couples who would like support with relationship concerns from a licensed therapist. If you would like to use Regain with your partner for couples counseling, there are a couple of ways they can sign up to join you. 

Inviting your partner when you sign up

The first way to have your partner join you on Regain is to invite them during the initial sign-up process. To do so, you will notice a prompt after you complete the initial questionnaire. You can simply follow the prompt, and your partner can join you on the platform. 

How does my partner sign up for Regain after I’ve already started therapy? 

If you do not invite your partner to join during the initial sign-up process, you can easily invite them to join later on. To do so, you can follow the steps below: 

  • Log in to your Regain account
  • Go to your account settings
  • Select “Your partner” and then select “Invite partner” 
  • Enter your partner’s email address and phone number

Your partner will then receive an invite link that is specific to your account. When they sign up, you two can begin having therapy sessions together. 

How it works

1
Complete our questionnaire

Tell us about your goals and preferences so we can find a great fit.

2
Invite your partner (optional)

Start together or switch to individual support at any time.

3
Begin therapy

Message anytime and schedule live sessions when it works for you.

How do live sessions work as a couple? 

Live sessions can take place over phone or video and typically last from 30 to 45 minutes. To have a live session, you can select a timeslot and schedule a session with your Regain therapist. 

Joining sessions from different locations 

One advantage of Regain counseling is that you and your partner can join therapy sessions from different locations. If you are in a long-distance relationship or if you both have very busy schedules that pull you in different directions, you can still have phone or video sessions together with your therapist. 

Can my partner read my messages on Regain? 

If you are using Regain as a couple, all of your written communication will be visible to both of you as well as the therapist. If you would like to speak with your therapist by yourself without your partner present, you can schedule an individual live session. 

How can I tell if couples therapy might help our relationship?

Online couples therapy can help couples with a wide range of relationship goals, including the following:

  • Developing healthier communication patterns 
  • Learning healthier ways to resolve conflict 
  • Addressing intimacy-related concerns
  • Increasing relationship satisfaction, an area in which research has demonstrated online couples therapy to be effective

When online couples therapy may not be the right fit 

There may be certain instances where seeking support through Regain or other online therapy companies is not suitable. These include the following situations: 

  • If you are in an emergency situation 
  • If you are concerned for your safety in the relationship 
  • If you do not have a reliable internet connection

In any of these situations, online therapy services may not be appropriate or sufficient, and other forms of in-person support may be necessary. 

In addition, there may be situations in which general individual therapy may be more fitting than couples or marriage counseling. For instance, if you are experiencing broader mental health concerns rather than solely relationship issues, Regain therapy may not be the best fit. Instead, seeking general individual therapy from licensed mental health providers either online or in person may be more appropriate.
