2025 Marriage Counseling Reviews

Online-Therapy

• Monthly cost of $110 for 45-minute sessions
• Abundant toolkit to supplement sessions
• Relaxation through yoga and meditation videos
• Instant therapist matching upon registration
• Unlimited counselor messaging

Online-Therapy transcends conventional marriage counseling. In addition to the traditional 45-minute video, audio, or live chat sessions, they also provide additional benefits with their program.

Guided progression

Your therapeutic session is based on completing pre-session reading and worksheets. The platform offers an online journal, yoga and meditation videos, and the flexibility to contact your therapist with any questions. While the pricing is relatively higher than some programs, the extensive resources justify the cost. Online-Therapy also offers an uncommon feature: unrestricted messaging access to your therapist whenever needed.

Personalized counselor selection

Upon registering, an expert therapist armed with your questionnaire responses is assigned to you. You have the flexibility to change therapists due to scheduling or other reasons - although, unlike their competitors, the profiles of counselors aren't readily viewable on the platform.

Simple registration

Signing up is both simple and easy. The registration process involves concise, multiple-choice questions tailored to your situation. This approach replaces the potential stress of divulging personal information in long, typed-out responses.

Familiar therapeutic approach

Online-Therapy employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely adopted counseling approach. CBT helps you manage life challenges by changing your thinking and behavior patterns.

Self-guided structure

Unique to Online-Therapy is the concept of "sections”. These comprise 8 pre-defined assignments that involve readings, worksheets, and daily journaling. You're encouraged to message your counselor during the week, culminating in a video session with your therapist and your partner at week's end. Although it almost seems like you're working through a textbook rather than engaging in counseling, Online-Therapy offers some great resources that aren't found in other marriage counseling platforms.

Rich resource pool

Your counseling journey includes interaction with therapists, access to worksheets, reading sections, a daily journal, and optional activities. Unlimited messaging with your counselor fosters continuous engagement. The week concludes with a 45-minute live session featuring video, voice, or text chatting.

Accelerated progress:

The combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and the platform's online resources can lead to significant improvement in about a month. However, for comprehensive growth in your marriage relationship, maintaining the program for several months is recommended.

Subscription structure

Online-Therapy monthly subscription requires payment at the beginning of each month. With this, you get access to your 45-minute sessions at the end of each week, unlimited messaging, worksheets, videos, an activity plan, a journal, and progress tests. Individual therapy is mentioned within the description, but program details for this isn't described.

Easy to cancel or change your appointment

You can change or cancel your scheduled appointment with a simple click. If you simply miss a session, you'll still be charged, since the therapist is paid for their time.

Initial discount

A 20% discount is available for the first month's session, making it a little more affordable.

Positive user feedback

Client testimonials highlight Online-Therapy's calming effect, stress reduction, and personal growth. Specifically, customers have loved their counselor's easy rapport and effectiveness, while still noting the premium cost. Online therapy is also lauded for their flexibility compared to other program's rigid scheduling.

Good, but room for improvement

The biggest issue we had was the somewhat rigid format of eight predefined sections. The higher cost and required monthly subscription are also factors to consider. We would also appreciate the availability of comprehensive therapist profiles, along with photos online. Still, while not the top-rated option, Online-Therapy stands as a commendable resource with distinctive features for married couples seeking support.
