Relationship Counselor Online

Let’s face it; all relationships have their ups and downs no matter how solid it appears.  Figuring out where to turn for help can be a challenge. This is especially true if both involved parties have busy schedules, or worse, live far apart. One solution that has been growing in popularity is utilizing a relationship counselor online. Although, this option is growing in use, it still may seem strange at first. How does it work really?

Well, there are different modes of interacting with a relationship counselor online. There is email counseling, chat counseling, video (e.g., Skype) counseling, forums, and group counseling. Each of these has pros and cons to be considered.  For the couple with very divergent schedules the video or chat mode probably is not ideal. However, the other ones mentioned tend to occur asynchronously and should be satisfactory. In terms of cons, some find online therapy impersonal. However, this can be the case with traditional therapy. If you start working with an online counselor and do not feel comfortable, move on the next.

So where does one find a relationship counselor online? If you do a search for one there is likely to be a number that appear. One site appears that has therapists experienced in relationship counseling is mytherapycouch.com. They have support groups and forums as well, to provide some peer support. If you and your significant other are dealing with one of the “down” phases but need the help of a professional check out the resources on mytherapycouch.com.

And remember, relationships take work. With the right tools, counseling can often help.
