Simply doing exposures.

Virtual reality therapy for private practices

subscription-based VRET software with full therapist control

The VR Coach smartsystem is clinically validated virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) software designed for individual and private practice therapists. No gaming laptop, no IT setup – just a VR headset, a tablet, and a flexible annual subscription. Used in leading clinics and university hospitals across Europe.

The clinical gap

VRET is evidence-based – but rarely available in private practice

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) and VR cognitive behavioral therapy (VR CBT) are among the most effective treatments available for anxiety disorders, phobias, PTSD, OCD, and addiction. Decades of clinical research confirm their efficacy. Yet most private practice therapists have never used them – because existing VR therapy solutions were built for hospitals, research labs, and large institutions.

The VR Coach smartsystem is specifically designed as virtual reality therapy software for individual and private practices: affordable subscription pricing, no hardware beyond a compatible VR headset, and real-time therapist control via a standard smartphone or tablet app.

How a VR therapy session works

Running virtual reality exposure therapy in your private practice

Step 1

Patient puts on the VR headset

The VRET software launches directly on the standalone VR headset – no cables, no laptop, no IT setup needed.

Step 2

Therapist controls the VR therapy session

Via the smartsystem app on your smartphone or tablet, select scenarios, adjust exposure intensity, and guide the session in real time.

 

Step 3

Patient experiences immersive VR exposure

Spatial presence, free movement, and full immersion trigger real emotional and physiological responses – the clinical mechanism behind effective VRET.

 

Step 4

Debrief, document, and advance therapy

Review the VR session with your patient, track progress across appointments, and tailor future exposure scenarios to their needs.

Realism & clinical effectiveness

Is virtual reality therapy realistic enough for clinical exposure work?

The most common question from therapists encountering VRET for the first time: “Are the VR scenarios realistic enough for patients?” Screenshots of VR therapy software rarely reflect the actual in-headset experience – and that is the critical distinction.

Inside the VR headset, patients experience situations spatially. They look around freely, move within the virtual environment, and perceive themselves as present within the scenario. This sense of spatial presence and immersion is the core therapeutic mechanism of virtual reality exposure therapy – not visual fidelity alone.

A clinical study at the Anton Proksch Institute in Vienna, using scenarios from the VR Coach smartsystem, confirmed: VR creates strong immersion, patients experience situations as realistic, and the method achieves very high acceptance. What matters is not photorealistic graphics, but whether the virtual reality scenario triggers genuine emotional and physiological responses. VRET consistently achieves this.

FAQ – virtual reality therapy for private practices

Frequently asked questions about VRET software and VR therapy subscriptions

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) uses immersive VR environments to conduct evidence-based exposure therapy. The patient wears a VR headset and experiences feared or triggering situations while the therapist controls the scenario in real time via a tablet app. Unlike traditional in-vivo exposure, VRET allows therapists to replicate situations that are difficult to arrange in the real world – heights, flying, social gatherings, or addiction cue environments – in a fully controlled, repeatable way.
 
The smartsystem includes VR therapy modules for specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, PTSD, OCD, addiction (alcohol and tobacco cue exposure), depression, and eating disorders. The AI-generated 360° module allows therapists to generate entirely custom virtual environments on demand, extending VRET beyond the standard scenario library.
 
The smartsystem runs on compatible standalone VR headsets. Full hardware details – including Meta Quest compatibility, setup requirements, and what is included in each VR therapy subscription tier – are available in our free catalog and price list.
 
The VR Coach smartsystem is available as an annual virtual reality therapy subscription. You choose one or more modules – Phobias & Anxiety, Addiction, or AI-generated 360° – and subscribe annually. No per-session fees, no long-term contracts beyond the annual term. Full pricing is included in our free catalog.
 
No. The VRET software runs directly on a compatible standalone VR headset – no gaming laptop, no server, no IT department required. Therapist control runs through an intuitive app on any standard smartphone or tablet, making the smartsystem practical for solo private practice settings.
 
VR CBT (virtual reality cognitive behavioral therapy) encompasses VR-assisted CBT protocols broadly, while VRET (virtual reality exposure therapy) refers specifically to the exposure-based subset – the most clinically established form of VR therapy. The VR Coach smartsystem supports both exposure-focused and broader VR CBT approaches across its therapy modules.
 
In 2025, Medicare classified certain VR CBT devices as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) under CMS Code E1905, enabling coverage for home-use VR therapy devices. For in-practice use of VR therapy subscription software, billing practices vary by state and insurer. We recommend consulting your professional association or liability insurer for guidance on coding and billing VR-assisted psychotherapy sessions in your state.
 
Yes. The VR Coach smartsystem is CE-certified as a Class I medical device under EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745/EU), with risk management per ISO 14971 and usability engineering per ISO 62366-1. We continuously expand regulatory compliance of our VR therapy software products.
 
Yes. Request free trial access to the VR Coach smartsystem through the form above. Most therapists report that the first in-headset VRET experience is significantly more immersive and clinically compelling than any screenshot or video suggests.
