Couples counseling, also called marital therapy, is an option for couples at any stage of their relationship looking for new coping skills to improve their communication. Marital counseling can be helpful via in person counseling or via telehealth video (online) counseling options. There are many treatment methods for couples that are research-based and effective when used properly such as the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy. Family therapy is not an easy step to take, but anxiety and depression can affect everyone in a relationship unless the system is adjusted when it’s not working well for all involved.
