Online Group Therapy: Is it Right for Me?
When people hear “group therapy,” they often imagine sitting in a circle, sharing deeply personal stories with strangers. For many, that image feels intimidating—and sometimes, it’s what keeps people from trying it. Let’s clear up a few myths and talk about why online group therapy can be such a powerful way to grow.
Myth #1: “I’ll be forced to share everything.”
Not true. In group therapy, you choose what you share and when. Many people start by listening, and that’s completely fine.
Myth #2: “It won’t feel personal.”
Surprisingly, groups often feel more supportive than individual therapy—because you’re surrounded by people who truly understand what you’re going through.
The Advantages of Online Groups
Convenience: You can join from home, no commuting required.
Value: It’s usually cheaper than a 1:1 session
Connection: You’ll see that you’re not alone in your struggles—a powerful antidote to shame and isolation.
Skills in Real Time: Practicing communication and coping strategies in a supportive group helps you use them more confidently in everyday life.
