During online marriage counseling (also called couples therapy), a licensed therapist can meet with and your spouse face-to-face to discuss a range of marital issues, from problems communicating or resolving conflicts to infidelity, parenting concerns, sexual difficulties, and more. The therapist can help you better understand each other’s actions and motivations, and learn skills for communicating and resolving conflicts. Marriage counseling is for married adults of any gender. If your spouse doesn’t want to participate, you can have a marriage counseling session on your own. With the Amwell web or mobile app, you can receive marriage counseling online in your home with complete confidentiality.
