Types of individual therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connection between people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to interrupt anxiety and other mental health challenges.
Dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT)
Focuses on building emotional regulation skills and encouraging participants to fully accept all parts of themselves — even their anxiety.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapeutic technique that uses specific eye movements or tapping to help people process traumatic memories.

ACT is a mindfulness-based form of behavioral therapy. It can effectively treat depression, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, and health conditions like chronic pain.
Hear from our patients
We’re making online therapy work the way it should.
Rula was the only way I was able to find a therapist. Everywhere else I was running into barriers. At a time when I was really struggling, finding help seemed impossible. Rula made it possible.
Finding mental healthcare through insurance can be a daunting task, but Rula made it easy to find a therapist who meets my needs and takes my insurance.
I was hesitant to go the online therapy route. But I am so glad I did. It was all an easy process and I absolutely adore my therapist. I’ve learned and grown so much.
The platform is easy to use in that I can see what each therapist specializes in and make my choice accordingly. I am not just simply given a provider, I get to choose one.
Starting therapy
There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.
It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time – Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network. Check out our blog post for more pointers on finding your best-fit therapist.
Rula specializes in online therapy – giving you the flexibility to meet with your therapist from wherever you’re most comfortable. We’ll send you an appointment reminder containing a secure link to your scheduled Zoom session approximately 24 hours before your session.
Understanding costs
Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available therapists who accept your insurance.
No, Rula does not charge any fees. You’re only responsible for any applicable out-of-pocket expenses determined by your insurance – in other words, if your plan requires a $20 copay, that’s the most you would pay.
While Rula is in-network with most major insurance plans, we understand that not everyone is covered by insurance. Rula offers a cash rate of $150/session for individual therapy and $165/session for families or couples.
The cash rate for psychiatry sessions is $350 for an initial 60-minute intake session and $150 for 30-minute follow-up sessions. You can also use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Savings Account) to cover out-of-pocket expenses.
