Relationship therapy — also known as couples counseling — is a specialized form of talk therapy that helps romantic partners improve their communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild intimacy. It's not just for couples in turmoil. Relationship therapy is beneficial for any partners seeking to strengthen their connection, navigate changes, or address concerns they may not know how to resolve on their own.
Some common reasons couples seek therapy include:
Relationship counseling is for everyone — whether you're married or dating, monogamous or polyamorous, heterosexual or LGBTQ+. It can also be helpful for co-parents, long-distance couples, or even those ending a relationship and seeking to do so respectfully.
With more people embracing online couples therapy, support is more accessible than ever — regardless of location or schedule.
This is one of the most common misconceptions — and one of the most damaging. Couples therapy is not only for relationships in crisis. In fact, some of the most successful outcomes come from couples who seek therapy early, before problems become entrenched.
Think of relationship counseling like preventative care: it can help you build stronger foundations, clarify shared goals, and learn healthier ways to navigate tension. Just like you wouldn't wait for a car to break down before getting a tune-up, it's wise to give your relationship attention before it's in distress.
Therapy can also be a proactive tool for:
You don't need to be on the verge of a breakup to benefit from online relationship therapy or in-person sessions. Many couples use therapy to grow together — not just survive together.
Ideally, both partners attend couples therapy. But even if only one person is willing, therapy can still be impactful.
Individual therapy can help you:
Sometimes, changes made by one partner can influence the whole relationship. In other cases, individual therapy can be a path to self-awareness and clarity, whether the relationship continues or not.
If your partner is hesitant, inviting them to one online couples therapy session can lower the barrier to entry — many people feel more open after meeting a nonjudgmental therapist.
While both can be helpful, they serve different purposes:
If you're unsure which is right for you, a therapist can help assess whether to begin with couples sessions or individual support.
Remember, recovery is possible. With early intervention, a supportive network, and the right professional care, you can overcome the challenges of Relationship Therapy and build a fulfilling life. We are here to help you find care.
