Online couples therapy has become increasingly popular as a way to work on relationships in a flexible and convenient way. In this article, we will explore how online couples therapy works, answer the most common questions and share some advice from our experienced therapists.
How does online couples therapy work?
Online couples therapy works in a similar way to traditional couples therapy, with the major difference being that the sessions take place over the internet in the form of video meetings. The therapist and the couple can connect from different locations and with Lavendla there is no need to download any software or create accounts. Therefore, this makes it particularly convenient for couples with busy schedules or those who do not live near a therapist. During the sessions, partners discuss their problems and then work with the therapist to find solutions and improvements.
What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!
