In Brazil and the United States, relationship counseling has become increasingly normalized and destigmatized over the past two decades. While more common in urban areas and among middle-class populations, it remains an important resource for addressing relationship issues. In Brazil, 'terapia de casal' is often preferred in casual contexts, while 'aconselhamento de relacionamento' is used in more formal or clinical settings. The practice reflects broader cultural trends toward mental health awareness and preventative relationship care.
