ReGain Review
ReGain is an online therapy platform built specifically for couples and relationship counseling. While most online therapy platforms offer couples therapy as an add-on, ReGain makes it the entire focus. It's operated by the same parent company as BetterHelp (Teladoc Health), so the underlying technology and infrastructure are familiar and reliable.
Who it's best for
ReGain is designed for couples who want to work on their relationship with a licensed therapist. This includes people dealing with communication issues, trust problems, intimacy concerns, life transitions, or who simply want to strengthen a good relationship. Both partners can participate in sessions and communicate with the therapist individually or together.
How it works
One partner creates the account and invites the other to join. Both partners complete individual questionnaires, and ReGain matches you with a licensed marriage and family therapist. From there, you can communicate through messaging (individually or together with the therapist), and schedule live video, phone, or chat sessions.
The shared messaging room is a unique feature. Both partners and the therapist can all communicate in one thread, which creates continuity between sessions that traditional therapy doesn't always provide.
Pricing
ReGain costs between $65 and $100 per week, billed every four weeks. This is comparable to BetterHelp's pricing, which makes sense given the shared parent company. Insurance is not accepted. Financial aid may be available for those who qualify.
What we like
The couples-first design sets ReGain apart. The shared messaging room, joint and individual session options, and therapists who specialize exclusively in relationship counseling create an experience that general-purpose platforms can't easily replicate.
The convenience factor is also significant for couples. Coordinating schedules for in-person couples therapy can be a logistical nightmare. Being able to do sessions from home, at a time that works for both partners, removes a real barrier.
What we don't
ReGain only handles relationship and couples issues. If either partner also needs individual therapy for something unrelated to the relationship, you'll need a separate platform for that.
The therapist pool is smaller than BetterHelp's overall network, since it's limited to relationship specialists. And like BetterHelp, insurance is not accepted, so the full cost is out of pocket.
Who should look elsewhere
If you need individual therapy (not couples), BetterHelp, Talkspace, or Calmerry are better options. If cost is a primary concern and you have insurance, Talkspace offers couples therapy with potential insurance coverage. If you're looking for a more structured relationship program rather than open-ended counseling, you may want to explore other options.
The bottom line
ReGain is the best dedicated couples therapy platform online. If you and your partner want to work on your relationship with a licensed professional, and you value the convenience of doing it from home, ReGain delivers a thoughtfully designed experience. It's not cheap, but for couples therapy specifically, it's hard to find a more focused option.
