Regain is BetterHelp's couples-focused therapy platform, pairing partners with a licensed therapist for asynchronous messaging and weekly live video, phone, or text sessions. You can start alone or with your partner, and both of you share a chat room with your therapist for communication between sessions. All therapists hold a master's or doctoral degree and at least three years of postgraduate clinical experience.

Couples Therapy Inc. fields more than 30 therapists certified in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, each holding a master's or doctoral degree and at least 1,000 hours of postgraduate clinical experience before beginning the certification track. Their core offering is an intensive weekend couples retreat, available both online and in person, that condenses months of therapeutic work into two or three days. Regular online sessions are also available for couples who prefer ongoing care over a single intensive format.

OurRelationship is a research-backed online program built on more than fifteen years of federally funded relationship science, covering communication, conflict, and intimacy through interactive lessons and exercises. The program runs four to six weeks and can be completed fully self-guided or with support from a trained program coach. A free version is available for couples who qualify under a federal grant, making it one of the most accessible structured options around.

Ours is a virtual therapy platform built exclusively for couples, offering premarital counseling, ongoing relationship therapy, and discernment counseling with fully licensed therapists across all 50 states. Every therapist on the platform has specific training in couples work, not just general-practice clinicians who occasionally take couples clients. The range of presenting concerns is broad, covering communication, intimacy, conflict, major life transitions, and the lead-up to marriage or cohabitation.

Lasting is a self-guided relationship health app from Talkspace, built around structured guided sessions and exercises that couples work through independently on their phones. It doesn't connect users to live therapists or coaches, so the value is in the curriculum itself, which draws on research-backed approaches to communication, trust, and emotional connection. A good fit for couples who want something structured they can pick up and put down on their own schedule.

Relish pairs each subscriber with a qualified relationship coach who communicates daily by chat and builds a customized lesson plan around the specific strengths and challenges the couple identifies. Lessons and exercises are drawn from relationship science and adapt as the user progresses, with the coach available for ongoing guidance rather than a fixed number of sessions. It's a coaching service rather than a therapy platform, so licensed clinical treatment isn't part of what's on offer.
