About Us

Who We Are

At RLT Marriage Counselling with Rick Martin, we believe every couple deserves support that’s not only effective—but accessible, no matter where you live.



Rooted in Red Deer, Alberta, our online counselling services are available to couples, individuals, and families throughout Canada. Whether you’re navigating a crisis or seeking to grow together, we meet you right where you are—through secure Zoom sessions, in the comfort of your own space

Online Sessions That Work

for Real Life

Without the limits of a physical office, we can offer extended hours that fit into real family schedules. There’s no travel time, no waiting room—just a safe, focused space to work on your relationship.



From my private office in Red Deer, Alberta, I provide personalized support via Zoom, helping couples across provinces tackle communication breakdowns, rebuild trust, and create lasting change.

Meet Your Counsellor

I’m Rick Martin, founder of RLT Marriage Counselling and a dedicated relationship therapist who works exclusively with couples.



My approach is rooted in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a powerful and direct method that gets underneath old patterns so couples can build something new together. I bring both professional experience and hard-earned personal insight to the work—no psychobabble, no finger-pointing, just honest, practical guidance.

Whether you’re seeking couples counselling, stepfamily support, pre-marital guidance, or navigating separation, I’m here to help you move forward.

Transparent Pricing and
Powerful Value

We understand that therapy is an investment—in time, in energy, and in your future. That’s why we keep our fees transparent and fair.



Our extended-format sessions (typically 2 hours) allow us to make real progress fast. Many couples experience noticeable breakthroughs within the first 4–6 sessions. We also offer flexible packages to support ongoing growth or specific challenges.
