3 Benefits of Online Couples Therapy
Living in an age where it seems like everyone lives through a device, whether it be a cellphone, computer, or tablet – it can feel like people don’t interact anymore. Therefore, it may seem like the last place you want to receive couples therapy is through a screen! However, there are so many advantages to engaging in couples counseling online! A few of the main advantages are that you can stay in the comfort of your home, it can be more flexible schedule-wise, and allows the therapist to play a role in the counseling without taking center stage!
Benefit of Couples Counseling #1: Staying in the Comfort of your Own Home!
Couples counseling can be an intimidating experience for some people. Not only are you looking at some of the aspects of your relationship that may not be functioning as smoothly as you’d like – but you are bringing a stranger into the mix, as well! Then take into consideration that you are going to an unfamiliar office to talk to this stranger – it can all feel like too much. Online couples therapy can eliminate some of this anxiety by providing you with excellent marriage counseling, without you having to leave your home. Therefore, you and your partner can be in your comfort zone, while meeting with the therapist. In addition to that, online couples therapy allows the therapist to work with you and your partner in your everyday environment so that the natural dynamics of your relationship can be observed, which can be extremely helpful to the therapeutic process!
Benefit of Marriage Counseling #2: Provides a More Flexible Schedule!
Imagine you are at work, you’ve had a stressful day, you get stuck in traffic while you are on your way home – and you just can’t wait to walk into your cozy house. Then suddenly it hits you, you are scheduled for couples counseling in one hour, so you can’t go home, instead you must drive to the therapist’s office. This isn’t the case with online couples therapy! You can still go home, get into comfortable clothes, and log onto your computer, phone, or tablet for your online couples session! Not only does the online format provide you with more flexibility, but it provides the therapist with more flexibility for scheduling. Maybe you have an hour-long lunchbreak from work and want to schedule your couples counseling session during that time. Because there is no driving involved, you can dedicate that entire hour to the session and still be able to get back to work in time. Online couples therapy is the ultimate way to work on your relationship, while also maintaining a flexible schedule.
Benefit of Couples Therapy #3: Allows the Therapist to Play a Role without Taking Center Stage!
Many times, people are afraid to seek counseling because they feel that there is a “power dynamic” or they view the therapist as an “authority figure” and that can be intimidating and make people understandably uneasy. Online couples counseling removes that “dynamic” because it allows the therapist to play an active role in the therapeutic process without taking away from you and your partner. Online couples therapy provides a safe outlet for the couples therapist to engage and interact with you and your partner while maintaining a passive role so that you and your partner can grow together and eliminate the idea or feeling that the therapist is aligning more with one individual over the other. Because you and your partner are together and engaging with the therapist through an online platform – it really sets the perfect stage for growth and increased communication between you and your partner.
