Great pool of therapists and great service! The website is easy to navigate and you can choose to go through a set of questions that help tailor to your needs and find suitable therapists, or just go ahead and browse yourself! The team is very helpful and available for questions as well.

Questions about Thera

Answers to common questions about finding a therapist, booking and using Thera.

How is Thera different from other online therapy platforms?

Thera is built for people whose lives cross borders and cultures. You can search for therapists by language, cultural background and country, not only by specialisation. Every therapist is independently verified, and you see their real qualifications and rates before you book.

How much does therapy on Thera cost?

Sessions cost 47-170 USD for 45 minutes, depending on the therapist. There are no long-term contracts. A monthly plan of 4 sessions gives 10% off. See pricing.

Are sessions online or in person?

All sessions are online, by secure video call.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

For many common concerns, such as anxiety, depression and stress, research has found video therapy to be about as effective as meeting in person (Fernandez et al, 2021). The relationship you build with your therapist is an important part of therapy. Thera lets you explore therapists by language, background and approach to help you find someone you feel comfortable working with.

I'm not sure what kind of help I need. Where do I start?

Message our team on WhatsApp. Tell us a little about what is going on, in as much or as little detail as you like, and we will suggest therapists who may suit you. You can also read What type of therapy do I need?.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Therapy delivered through live video sessions can achieve similar improvements in mental health symptoms to in-person therapy. A 2021 meta-analysis by Fernandez and colleagues found negligible differences in outcomes overall, alongside substantial symptom improvements in video therapy studies targeting anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These findings concern live video therapy and should not be generalised to messaging or self-guided programmes.
