Family Therapy Online

Resolve, Reconnect, and Revitalize as a Family

In every family, conflict and miscommunication are inevitable. Whether it’s communication breakdowns, unresolved arguments, or dealing with the loss of a loved one, these issues can strain the closest of relationships.

Online family therapy offers a constructive and empathetic setting to sit down as a family, discuss concerns, and build stronger connections, all from the comfort of your home.

Start My Wellness offers family therapy online via Zoom or Skype for Michigan residents. Together, we can help your family find balance, understanding, and connection–no matter how busy life gets.

Rebuilding Family Connections, One Conversation at a Time

Family life can be a whirlwind. Between work deadlines, rushing to get kids to school, and endless to-do lists and chores, finding time to connect with your loved ones can seem impossible. You may notice that dinner conversations have gotten quieter or that arguments happen more often. Maybe the warmth that once filled your home is underlined by the cold edges of unspoken tension, or that conversation you’ve been meaning to have sneaks quietly into next week’s plans. Many families struggle to stay connected amidst the chaos, feeling like they’re drifting apart no matter what they do. 

Family therapy is designed to help. By addressing unresolved conflict, helping to improve communication, and strengthening family bonds, therapy can help your family move toward unity and understanding. It’s more than just resolving conflicts–it’s about educating and strengthening your family so that you can face future challenges together. 

Online family therapy brings the same evidence-based practices as traditional in-person therapy to your home. It offers a convenient, accessible way to get your family the support it needs when they need it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Family Therapy

HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE
What Are the Benefits of Online Family Therapy?
Online family therapy offers a structured setting where families can work on improving communication, resolving conflicts, coping with grief, and handling difficult transitions. Additionally, because of its accessibility, it allows families to engage in therapy wherever they are, even if some family members are out of town.
Is Online Family Therapy as Effective as In Person?

Research, including a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis, has found that family therapy delivered via telehealth significantly improved mental health outcomes, including depression and behavioral problems. The key is establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist and consistency outside therapy.

How is Family Therapy Different from Individual Therapy?

Additionally, family therapy aims to strengthen the family unit and explore the relationships between family members.
