Best Online Couples Therapy Options
Here are the top recommendations:
ReGain (Best Overall)
- Specifically designed for couples therapy
- Licensed therapists matched to your needs
- Messaging, phone, and video sessions available
- Around $60-$100/week
Talkspace (Best for Flexibility)
- Well-established platform with many therapists
- Multiple communication formats
- Sometimes accepts insurance
- Good for busy schedules
BetterHelp (Best for Accessibility)
- Large therapist network
- Easy to switch therapists if needed
- Financial aid available
- Very user-friendly app
Couples Therapy Inc. (Best for Serious Issues)
- Specializes exclusively in couples work
- Uses research-based methods (Gottman, EFT)
- More intensive programs available
- Higher cost but highly specialized
Our Relationship (Best Budget Option)
- Self-guided online program
- Based on research from top universities
- Much more affordable (~$150 one-time)
- Good for couples with mild issues
My top pick: ReGain for most couples because it's purpose-built for relationships rather than being a general therapy platform.
Would you like more details on cost, what issues these are best suited for, or insurance coverage?
