There are other ways to receive individual or couples therapy, including in-person sessions and sessions on other online therapy platforms like BetterHelp. In some cases, BetterHelp may be more suitable for individual mental health concerns.
What is Regain therapy used for?
Regain offers various online therapy services for relationship concerns, including couples counseling, marriage therapy, and even individual counseling related to interpersonal issues.
How long until you see results from therapy?
It depends. While everyone is different, many people report experiencing significant improvements after about 10 to 12 sessions of professional therapy. This timeframe can include individual and couples counseling. It may vary, though, based on what mental health conditions or relationship issues you’re experiencing and the specific therapeutic techniques employed.
