Overview

Help Individuals, Couples, and Families Thrive by Earning a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy

All families have struggles and stress that they need to work through to be healthy. Even with very different cultural, social, and economic backgrounds, families are made of imperfect people who have common challenges that need care and patience to overcome. Liberty University’s online Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy* can help equip you to play a positive role in helping families meet these challenges and work toward success in their relationships. Liberty’s online M.F.T. program can provide you with advanced training in counseling techniques to give you the tools you need to help marriages and families and to prepare you to seek licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
