Kahl Counseling and Consultation Online
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
At Kahl Counseling, we understand that our connections with others have a powerful impact on how we feel about ourselves and our lives. When relationships are strained, communication breaks down, or loss leaves us struggling, it can deeply affect our emotional well-being. Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) focuses on improving these connections by helping you navigate relationship patterns, life transitions, and unresolved grief.
Our licensed therapists provide interpersonal therapy online and in-person sessions to help clients manage depression, anxiety, and social or relational difficulties. If you’ve been feeling isolated, misunderstood, or weighed down by conflict, IPT can help you rebuild a sense of balance, confidence, and emotional resilience.
What Is Interpersonal Therapy?
Interpersonal Therapy is an evidence-based, structured form of counseling that focuses on the link between your relationships and your emotional health. It is based on the idea that life events, social interactions, and communication styles play a significant role in shaping how you feel.
During IPT, you’ll work with your therapist to identify patterns in your relationships and communication that may be contributing to sadness, irritability, or disconnection. Together, you’ll learn practical tools to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen your emotional support system.
Interpersonal Therapy can be especially effective for clients who are dealing with depression, grief, relationship struggles, or major life changes such as divorce, relocation, or job loss.
Interpersonal Therapy for Depression
REBT is based on the simple yet powerful concept that it’s not events themselves that upset us, but our beliefs about those events. In therapy, you’ll explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and learn how to reframe your internal dialogue in a healthier way.
During sessions, your therapist may help you:
- Identify irrational beliefs and thought patterns
- Examine how those beliefs influence your emotions and actions
- Challenge self-defeating thoughts through rational questioning
- Develop balanced and realistic ways of thinking
- Practice mindfulness and self-acceptance strategies
The result is a new mindset that promotes confidence, emotional stability, and a sense of peace — even when life feels unpredictable or stressful.

Depression often begins with harsh self-judgment, guilt, or hopeless thinking. You might tell yourself that you “should be happier,” “should be more successful,” or “shouldn’t feel this way.” REBT helps you break free from these rigid “should” statements and self-demands.
Through REBT therapy for depression, our licensed counselors will help you:
- Recognize the unrealistic beliefs that fuel sadness and guilt
- Learn to replace self-criticism with self-acceptance
- Develop practical coping strategies to manage negative emotions
- Strengthen your sense of purpose and self-worth
By focusing on changing the beliefs that maintain depression, REBT helps you rebuild confidence and motivation to move forward with greater emotional strength.
How Interpersonal Therapy Works
Each IPT session is customized around your unique experiences and goals. Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to:
- Identify relationship patterns that may be contributing to distress
- Improve your communication skills and emotional awareness
- Learn healthy ways to express needs, set boundaries, and handle conflict
- Develop supportive relationships that reinforce emotional well-being
- Adapt to major life changes with greater resilience
Interpersonal Therapy is typically short-term and goal-oriented, helping you see real progress in your emotional health and relationships within weeks.
