Best Online Couples Therapy Options
Here are the top recommendations:
Regain ⭐ Best Overall
- Specifically designed for couples (unlike general therapy platforms)
- Licensed therapists matched to your specific issues
- Messaging, phone, and video sessions available
- ~$65-$100/week
Talkspace ⭐ Best for Flexibility
- Well-established platform with many licensed therapists
- Couples plans available with messaging between sessions
- Often accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce costs
Little Otter ⭐ Best for Families
- Good if couples therapy intersects with parenting concerns
Traditional Telehealth via Psychology Today
- Search their therapist directory filtering for couples counseling
- Often more affordable and you can find specialists in specific issues (infidelity, communication, etc.)
Key Considerations When Choosing:
- Insurance coverage - Talkspace is most likely to accept it
- Crisis situations - Regain is best for urgent relationship issues
- Specific issues - Finding a specialist through Psychology Today may be worth it for trauma or infidelity
My top pick is Regain because it's purpose-built for couples rather than adapted from individual therapy platforms.
