Is online couples therapy available in Vancouver?
If you're concerned on having to travel across Greater Vancouver, like battling the North Vancouver commuter traffic, you can absolutely get couples therapy online. Online couples counselling, can be just as effective as in-person sessions. Virtual therapy offers more flexibility and can be especially helpful for busy schedules or long-distance relationships. On First Session, you can filter by therapists offering online therapy in British Columbia.
Do you offer LGBTQIA+, gay, or queer-friendly couples therapy in Vancouver?
Yes—at First Session, you can filter by therapists who identify as LGBTQIA+ or who specialize in working with queer and gay couples. Many therapists across the lower mainland offer culturally competent support that’s inclusive of your relationship structure, gender identity, and lived experience. We even have therapists experienced in polyamorous relationships.
What are the Gottman Method and Solution-Focused Therapy in couples counselling?
The Gottman Method is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy, on the other hand, emphasizes finding practical, short-term strategies to improve specific concerns. You can find therapists in Vancouver trained in both modalities by reviewing their approach on their therapist profile.
