How Interpersonal Therapy Works

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) focuses on the link between your relationships and your mood. It helps you understand patterns in your communication and how to resolve conflict more effectively.

IPT typically addresses four key areas:

Grief and loss
Role disputes
Role transitions
Interpersonal deficits

Your therapist will help identify which area applies most to your current challenges. You’ll then work together on practical solutions to strengthen your connections. Most IPT programs last 12–16 sessions and are structured, goal-oriented, and focused on the present.

What Interpersonal Therapy Treats

IPT is especially effective for depression that’s linked to relationship stress. It also supports people facing:

Anxiety and social withdrawal
Divorce or job loss
Family or romantic conflicts
Major life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, retirement)
Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

This therapy also improves communication in workplace, family, or romantic relationships. It helps you become more connected, confident, and emotionally balanced.

What to Expect During IPT Sessions

Your first session will include an assessment of your relationships, symptoms, and goals. Your therapist will help you identify patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, you’ll set specific goals for improving your communication and connection with others.

Each session is structured and focused on your current relationships—not childhood history. You’ll practice new communication strategies, role-play challenging conversations, and apply tools that support your goals outside of sessions.
