Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT)
Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) is a form of couples counseling that combines traditional behavior change strategies with emotional acceptance. It helps partners understand and accept each other's differences rather than trying to change them completely. By fostering open communication, empathy, and emotional acceptance, IBCT aims to improve conflict resolution, deepen intimacy, and promote a healthier, more supportive relationship. It emphasizes patience and understanding, encouraging couples to embrace their imperfections while working together to address ongoing issues.
