Running effective group sessions takes more than showing up with a topic. This resource gives therapists, counselors, clinical social workers, and group facilitators 3,000 ready-to-use group therapy activities, techniques, and practices across 1,179 pages — organized into 37 focused sections so you always have the right activity for the right session.

Whether you’re facilitating in private practice, a treatment program, school, or community mental health setting, these materials reduce session planning time while keeping groups focused, engaged, and therapeutically productive. Each activity is designed to be easy to facilitate, adaptable across adult, teen, and mixed populations, and grounded in evidence-based approaches that support meaningful group outcomes.

Coverage spans the full range of group therapy modalities and clinical needs — including CBT group therapy, DBT skills groups, ACT techniques, trauma-informed practices, somatic and body-based activities, narrative therapy, Gestalt, motivational enhancement, psychodrama, and solution-focused approaches. Topic-specific sections address addiction and relapse prevention, depression and mood management, grief, shame resilience, inner child work, identity exploration, chronic illness and pain, burnout recovery, relationship patterns, and more.

Designed for licensed therapists, LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, psychologists, school counselors, and group facilitators who want a comprehensive, ready-to-deploy resource that works across populations, settings, and therapeutic modalities.
