Counseling for Relationships Dallas
It’s another scorching summer day in Dallas. The heat rising from the pavement could fry an egg, but that’s not what’s making Beckett’s collar feel tight. As he navigates through the sea of gleaming skyscrapers downtown, his mind is elsewhere — on his argument with his wife this morning, the growing distance he feels from his kids, and the gnawing feeling that something in his life just isn’t right. He hasn’t been intimate with his wife all year. Beckett isn’t alone. Across the Metroplex, from the bustling streets of Deep Ellum to the manicured lawns of Plano, men grapple with relationship issues they don’t know how to address.
You’ve probably figured it out by now. Beckett is your neighbor, your co-worker, or maybe even you, constantly bothered by the problems in your once peaceful relationship. It’s the same for many men in Texas and other parts of the world who are raised on a steady diet of toughness. People want us to be unyielding and tough. To be fair, that’s not always a bad approach to survival and work. However, a different kind of strength is required when it comes to relationships—one that is vulnerable and open to communication. Of course, a therapist would say that (I know), but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Times are changing, and so are we. There is no longer any excuse for letting your relationships crumble under the strength of your manliness. Because now, you can get all the emotional clarity you need even from your “man cave.” All you need is a stable internet connection. That’s how special and effective online therapy Dallas is.
Virtual therapy Texas
Everyone seems to have a different name for online therapy: Virtual therapy, online therapy, teletherapy or e-therapy–in short, it is a type of mental health counseling that happens over the Internet. It typically involves video calls, phone sessions or text-based interactions with a licensed therapist. So instead of battling Dallas traffic to sit in an office way across town, you’re in your own space — your home, office or that quiet corner in your backyard where thinking comes easy.
You’re talking to a professional who gets it, who understands the unique pressures of being a man in Dallas today. And you’re doing it on your terms, on your time. It’s not about lying on a couch discussing your childhood (unless you want to). It’s about practical solutions for real-life relationship problems. It’s learning how to communicate better with your partner, balance work stress with home life, and be the father, husband, or partner you want to be.
Why not choose in-person therapy? Everyone has their own preferences and reasons. Here are some things you may not know about virtual therapy:
- Virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy
- You save more money doing virtual therapy and have fewer transitions during your day
- Therapy may progress faster doing virtual therapy due to you already feeling comfortable in your own space
Does online therapy work for relationship problems?
Absolutely. An experienced therapist has a pretty good idea of the psychological underpinnings of your relationship problems. This is a non-exhaustive list, but it could be any of these:
- Communication issues — difficulty expressing emotions and thoughts to your partner
- Physical intimacy issues — unfulfilled sexual desires, erectile dysfunction
- Trust issues — insecurity, jealousy and suspicion
- Confidence issues – you feel like the imposter syndrome has taken over
- Money management problems
- Loneliness – you have trouble making or keeping friendships
- Conflicting priorities on fundamental topics like career and family
- Pressure stemming from gender roles and expectations
You may be dealing with one or more of these issues without really acknowledging that it’s there.
Getting that acknowledgment is one of the first things your therapist can help you with, online or offline. A licensed and experienced therapist helps you figure out the origin of these issues and, more importantly, how to navigate them expertly. This kind of guidance doesn’t need to happen face-to-face to be effective. According to UCLA Health, dozens of research have proved that online therapy can be as effective as sitting in the same room with your therapist.
Is online therapy a good option for you?
Other men have said they like online therapy for:
Convenience
The entire point of online therapy is convenience. You can gain emotional clarity and deflate all that stressful air from anywhere.
No awkward waiting room encounters with your kid’s teacher or your biggest opponent on the golf course.
Flexibility
Scheduling options are way more flexible with teletherapy. You can pick any time you are most comfortable with, including right after your intense post-9-to-5 basketball practice.
Privacy
The biggest supporters of teletherapy say the privacy of being in a place of your choosing makes opening up less tricky.
If convenience, flexibility and privacy during therapy are essential for you, online therapy is a safe bet. But there’s a caveat.
Generally, only mild-to-moderate emotional issues fit online therapy. If you’re experiencing deeper issues like depression and shame, I recommend hashing out a plan with your healthcare provider for a physical setup.
