"The 2024 Norwegian study of the Gottman Seven Principles Couple Enhancement Program found roughly comparable improvements in relationship quality across both online and in-person formats, suggesting that the effectiveness of therapy may not be format-dependent."
"For many couples, online formats remove the obstacles that quietly kept them out of therapy in the past, such as geography, scheduling, and logistics."
"The mechanics of online therapy tend to follow the in-person template, with live video sessions and secure platforms, but the type of therapy delivered is crucial."
"The question of whether online therapy works as well as in-person therapy is being studied, with some evidence indicating that the gap may be smaller than previously assumed."
By 2024, online therapy transitioned from an emergency option to a preferred choice for many couples. Research, including a Norwegian study, indicates that the effectiveness of online therapy may be similar to in-person sessions. The format of therapy is less critical than the type of therapy provided and the therapist's qualifications. Online therapy addresses barriers like geography and scheduling, making it more accessible for couples. Initial findings suggest that the quality of relationships can improve similarly through both online and in-person formats.
