Which therapy types are most suitable for people involved in open relationships or consensual non-monogamy?

The technique a therapist uses will always be based on a client’s specific questions and concerns, whether it relates to relationship anxiety, sexual issues, attachment style, or self-esteem. A trained professional should be familiar with a range of techniques and one who has worked with people in non-monogamous relationships should be able to employ approaches that have succeeded for others, potentially including the Gottman method (solving problems and building intimacy), narrative therapy (exploring narratives about the individuals and the relationship), and cognitive behavioral therapy (targeting problematic thoughts to change behavior).
