Starting Relationship Therapy: How Can I Get Started On Regain?

To get started on Regain, you can simply fill out a brief questionnaire about your concerns and preferences to be matched with a licensed therapist who aligns with your needs.

If you choose to have sessions with your partner, you can invite them when you first sign up or you can invite them to join later on. If you use Regain as a couple, you and your partner can join live sessions from separate locations for added convenience. The cost for online relationship therapy with Regain ranges from $70 to $100 per week, and you can cancel your membership at any time and for any reason. Subscription pricing is based on factors such as your location, referral source, preferences, therapist availability and any applicable discounts or promotions that might apply.

How can I get started on Regain as an individual?

Paying for Regain

To pay for your Regain membership, you can use a debit card, credit card, or PayPal account, charged on a recurring basis. You can also cancel your membership at any time. For those wondering whether therapists on Regain accept insurance, they typically do not, but Regain offers pricing options that are typically comparable to those of in-person therapy.  

How does my partner sign up? 

Regain offers both individual therapy focused on relationships and couples counseling for partners who want to have sessions together. If you are interested in using Regain with your partner, the process for doing so is also simple.

How can I get started on Regain as a couple? Inviting your partner to join

To use Regain with your partner, you can add your partnerin one of two ways: 

1. When you initially sign up, you will find a prompt after completing the questionnaire that explains how to invite your partner. You can simply follow that prompt, and your partner will be able to join you on the platform. 
2. Alternatively, if you would prefer to invite your partner to join later on, you can do so in your account settings. To invite your partner this way, go to “Your partner” in your account settings and then select “Invite partner.” 

How am I matched with a therapist? 

You are matched with a therapist based on your answers in the initial questionnaire, which features questions on your relationship, your reasons for seeking relationship counseling, and your therapist preferences. After signing up, the matching process may take a few hours or a few days, but most users are matched with a therapist in as little as 48 hours. 

All of the Regain therapists providing online therapy services through the platform are experienced therapists who hold a recognized professional license in their state or jurisdiction, so you can be confident when you sign up that you will be receiving professional therapy from a qualified therapist skilled in addressing relationship issues. 

How do live sessions work? 

After being matched with your therapist, you can begin having live therapy sessions, which typically last from 30 to 45 minutes and can take place by phone or video. To have a live session, you can select a timeslot that works for your schedule. At the scheduled time, you can simply log in to your account, and your therapist will prompt you to join the session. 

The efficacy and advantages of online couples therapy

Research has shown online couples therapy to be effective for improving relationship satisfaction. In addition, for some couples, online therapy through Regain may offer certain benefits over traditional therapy, such as:

• The freedom to join sessions from any location, including from a different location than your partner
• The ease of finding a licensed therapist
• The opportunity to switch therapists at any time

However, for some couples, seeking couples therapy or marriage counseling through Regain or other online therapy companies may not be the best fit, and seeking in-person relationship and mental health services may be more appropriate.
