Who are Regain therapists and what are their credentials?

One of the most important components of your therapy experience is your therapist. With Regain, you can feel confident that you are being helped by a well-qualified therapist who has been especially selected for you.  

Regain therapist network 

Regain is one of the leading online therapy platforms specializing in relationship therapy. It is a sister site of BetterHelp, which focuses on online individual therapy. As an online relationship therapy platform, Regain makes it easy for users to connect with a broad network of experienced therapists via phone or video sessions from any smartphone or computer.

Who are Regain therapists? Understanding their qualifications

All the therapists providing online therapy services on the Regain platform are trained and experienced licensed therapists. They must be qualified and licensed by their respective state board to provide therapy and hold a recognized professional license, which may include the following:
  • Licensed Psychologist (PhD/PsyD)

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

  • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)

Therapists on the platform must also have a relevant academic degree, at least three years of experience, and at least 1,000 hours of hands-on experience.

How are you matched with a therapist on Regain? 

To be matched with a therapist on Regain, you can fill out a brief questionnaire. Your answers can then be used to find the best possible fit. The questionnaire asks about topics such as the following:

  • Your relationship 
  • Your experience with therapy
  • Your reason(s) for seeking Regain therapy
  • Your preferences for a therapist

After you complete the sign-up process, you will be matched with a licensed therapist who suits your needs. Matching can take anywhere from a few hours up to a few days, but most users are matched within 48 hours.

Switching therapists on Regain

While Regain makes every effort to match you and your partner with a therapist who suits you both, sometimes, the fit just isn’t quite right. If that happens, Regain makes it easy to switch therapists at any time, so you can quickly find a better fit.

How can Regain therapists support your relationship? 

A Regain therapist can support your relationship in a number of different ways depending on your needs and goals. Some common concerns and goals that a therapist may help with during online therapy sessions include the following:

  • Rekindling intimacy
  • Resolving conflicts in healthier ways
  • Navigating stressful transitions as a couple 
  • Improving communication
  • Reducing relationship tension
  • Moving forward after infidelity

Research has also shown online couples therapy to be effective for improving relationship satisfaction and mental health. Still, using Regain or other online therapy companies for couples counseling may not be the most appropriate option for all couples and all situations. In some cases, in-person relationship counseling or family therapy may be the better fit.

How can you tell if a therapist is the right fit? 

Finding the right therapist can make the difference between a positive, beneficial experience that brings real benefits to your relationship, and a negative experience that feels like a waste of time. But how can you tell if you have found the right fit?
