Internet counseling is very convenient as it has a lot of advantages. Firstly the counselor does not know you; second you do not have to face the counselor unless it is a very serious matter, third the counselor does not asks for a very high fee unless he is a quack. But mostly internet counseling helps a lot because you can express yourself freely and don't have any fear of your identity of being compromised so that an embarrassing situation is easily avoided. You can get the best of the counselors for any problem that you and your spouse have between yourself.

There is not a single type of therapy that can be called most effective or successful. It depends on the individual need of everybody and the wishes of the couple. There are some techniques that have been found to work best for the counseling of couples but still there is no such method which can be called ideal for couple counseling. But the most important factor is the relationship between the couple and the counselor.

There are some methods that are use for the counseling of couples. They are as follows:

1. Psychodynamic/Ego Psychotherapy

This method is used to help the couple understand themselves fully. The theory behind this method is used for exploring the pasts of the clients i.e. their childhood experiences and unconscious conflicts.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy uses a combination of both cognitive and behavioral therapy. This method discovers both the thinking patterns and harmful or self-destructive behaviors. The therapy helps alter the thinking and behavior.

3. Solution Based Theory

Solution based therapy helps by providing the methods that help people to change the unwanted behavior problems. This technology helps the couple to cope up and be more resourceful.

4. Structural Therapy

The basic parts of the structural therapy are concepts, boundaries, subsystems and alignments. A structural therapist considers the individual, family and social problems while counseling a couple. The most important thing for the therapist to understand that every family has a structure and the therapist must work on it for the counseling.
