The COVID pandemic has brought about many paradoxical changes in our lives. Perhaps the chief of these involves our most intimate relationships. You’re probably spending more time than ever with your spouse or partner.

So many of us have suffered relationship damage and pain. Our bonds with parents, siblings, friends, acquaintances, partners, and adult children can be worn thin by conflict and misunderstandings.

When you think about your relationship with your partner, do you feel like your relationship is still defined by traditional gender roles? Or do you feel like there are more openness and equanimity in your relationship than there was for couples in decades and centuries past?

Whether you’re new to couples counseling or just new to the idea of online couples therapy, you may have some questions. Much of the online counseling process works in the same way as in-office sessions do.
