What is a relationship counselor?

Relationship counselors provide talk therapy to couples that are dealing with problems in their relationship. This therapy is often offered during one-on-one, couples, and group counseling sessions. As a relationship counselor, your job duties include listening to each individual to learn what they believe to be the cause of the problem and develop strategies to help the couples resolve their issues in a collaborative way. Patients may be married or unmarried couples, parent and child, or any other close relationship that have problems tearing two people apart.
