What Is Online Group Therapy?

Group therapy brings people together in a structured, clinician-led setting to work on shared mental health goals. Rather than one-on-one sessions, participants learn evidence-based skills alongside others navigating similar challenges, building both clinical insight and community in the process.

At Ummah Support Services, group sessions go beyond support circles. Each program is grounded in a therapeutic framework, whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), or another evidence-based modality, and led with clear direction and clinical accountability.

Group therapy is a strong fit for people who want structured skill-building, benefit from peer connection, or are looking for meaningful support that is also financially sustainable.

Taskeen's Approach: Active Psychotherapy

Ummah Support Services is led by Taskeen Baig, MSW RSW, a registered social worker with more than ten years of diverse clinical experience. After years of practice, Taskeen developed Active Psychotherapy: a purposeful, step-by-step framework designed to give therapy clear direction while still honouring each person's unique story.

Rather than open-ended, unstructured sessions, Active Psychotherapy keeps clients moving forward. Each program has a roadmap. Each session builds on the last. Participants leave with concrete tools and a plan for the week ahead.

Taskeen holds registration to serve residents of Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, and territorial permission for Yukon and Nunavut.

How It Works

Each monthly subscription includes:

  • Two 2-hour group sessions per month, scheduled on evenings and weekends to fit around work and family
  • One practice week between sessions to apply new skills in real life
  • A 30-minute follow-up session per group to address questions, review progress, and reinforce the material
  • Automatic monthly billing with no surprise invoices; insurance invoices provided upon request

Sessions are fully virtual so you can join from anywhere in Canada.

What You Get in Each Session

  1. Check-In: Share what has come up since the last session, receive psychotherapeutic feedback, and feel genuinely heard.
  2. Psychoeducation: Learn or review evidence-based tools from CBT, DBT, attachment theory, mindfulness, and more, delivered in a clear, accessible way.
  3. Practice and Discussion: Apply the material, hear from peers navigating similar experiences, and leave with a concrete plan for the days ahead.

The Affordability Difference

Traditional individual therapy typically costs $150 to $200 for a single 50-minute session.

An Ummah Support Services monthly subscription is $150 for five hours of structured, clinician-led group therapy.

That is not a discount on quality. It is a different model, designed from the ground up to make real therapeutic support financially sustainable for more people.

All times in the group schedule are listed in Eastern Standard Time. To convert to your time zone, use this time zone converter.
