Does Virtual Couples Therapy Work?

April 22, 2022

With everything shifting online these days, whether for accommodating schedules, not wanting to leave the house, or just plain convenience, online couples therapy is no stranger to the digital realm.

But is it just as effective as face-to-face couples counselling? Read on to find out.

What is Online Marriage Counselling?

Online marriage counselling, or virtual couples therapy, is when you and your partner meet with a licensed couples therapist to acknowledge and work towards resolving challenges in your relationship via live video sessions, phone conversations, or online video chat.

What Are Some Benefits of Online Marriage Counselling?

Whether in person therapy or online, the end goals of marriage counselling are:

Improving communication skills to better deal with conflicts in your relationship
Establishing the necessary social skills for powerful conflict management
Learning how to forgive, let go, and love unconditionally.

Marital counselling is a great way to focus on the skill-building techniques needed for reaching these goals. Additional benefits of virtual therapy include:

Convenience

Is Online Marriage Counselling Effective?

Because online marriage counselling can be done anywhere you feel comfortable, it’s more than just effective—it’s actually the more popular choice for the modern couple seeking marriage therapy.

Being with your partner in a place where you both feel at ease provides:

An extra layer of security and safety
Reduced vulnerability
Less stress
An increased ability to be more open with your feelings, leading to better listening and understanding of one another
Greater sense of control over the situation
Higher comfort with having the distinct physical separation between you and the therapist
A better connection with your therapist

Marriage counselling is best when used as a proactive approach to keeping your relationship healthy, but any couples looking to improve relationship dynamics can benefit from it—even the most conflicted ones.

Online marital counselling is right for anyone with a secure internet connection, a tablet, laptop, desktop, or smartphone, and a private place where they feel comfortable opening up about their feelings.
