Overview

ReGain is a relationship counseling service that is part of the BetterHelp network. You can join as a couple, sharing an account and a therapist, or on your own to work on relationship concerns.

Sessions work much like BetterHelp: messaging at any time plus live sessions by video, phone or live chat. ReGain says partners can use it from a computer or smartphone even if they are not in the same place, though joint live sessions still need a time that suits both of you.

ReGain is subscription-based. Its FAQ says it does not work with insurance companies, while its site also links to BetterHelp's in-network option, which is for individual therapy. Check the current price, billing terms and any coverage on the site. Relationship counseling is not appropriate in every situation; if you do not feel safe with a partner, contact a licensed professional or support service directly.
