By helping people find friendly company for a meal out, the app is suitable for solo travelers, newcomers to town, and locals who are open to sharing a meal with someone new

United States, 18th Jun 2026 —OpenToBites has launched its mobile app, which enables diners to find company by sharing tables at restaurants. Available on iOS and Android, OpenToBites lets users open a table for others to request, or request to join an open table. The app is suitable for solo travelers who may not want every meal to be a solo meal, people who are new in town and want a low-pressure way to meet others, and locals who might be open to sharing a table with someone new.

“We built OpenToBites in response to several trends, including the rise of solo travel and the demand for social experiences without romantic expectations, networking, or large organized events,” explained a spokesperson for OpenToBites. “We are offering shared food and conversation for people who want simple, in-person meal company in a public setting.”

OpenToBites is for people who want to share a meal with someone new in a low-pressure, public, friendly setting. The app provides two user functions. The “host path” involves the user opening a table on the app. They can choose a time, place, and meal style. The app tells potential guests how many seats are available.

The “guest path” shows open tables and allows users to send a request to join. The host can review requests and accept who joins them at their table. Guests can browse open meals by city, time, cuisine, and meal style. If the offer is accepted, the host and guest meet at the chosen place and share the meal.

The app keeps things small by design. Hosts can only invite a limited number of guests. The goal is to keep the table manageable, comfortable, and conversation-friendly. Meals are limited to the next 72 hours. This way, plans stay fresh, realistic, and easy to act on.

• PsychiCare highlights the key factors couples should consider when selecting an online marriage counselling platform, from therapist qualifications and cultural understanding to confidentiality, continuity of care, and evidence-based support.

Dubai, U.A.E, Jun 18, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The growing acceptance of online therapy has transformed how couples access professional relationship support. From busy professionals and multicultural couples to those navigating long-distance relationships and family pressures, teletherapy has become an increasingly preferred option for individuals seeking marriage and relationship counselling.

Mental health experts note that while online counselling has improved accessibility, choosing the right teletherapy platform remains one of the most important decisions couples can make. Not all platforms offer the same level of clinical expertise, ethical standards, or specialized relationship support.

According to relationship experts at PsychiCare, couples should evaluate several important factors before beginning online marriage counselling.

Qualified and Experienced Relationship Specialists Matter

One of the most important considerations is the qualification and experience of the therapists providing care. Couples are encouraged to seek professionals who are formally trained in relationship, marital, and family therapy and who have substantial clinical experience working with a wide range of relationship concerns.

“Many couples assume that all counselling services provide the same level of expertise, but relationship therapy requires specialized training and clinical experience,” said a spokesperson from PsychiCare. “The quality of the therapeutic relationship and the therapist’s ability to understand complex interpersonal dynamics can significantly influence outcomes.”

PsychiCare provides access to a team of highly qualified mental health professionals, including PhD-level psychologists, senior therapists, and experienced counselling professionals with 15–20 years of clinical practice. Several team members have specialized training in Marital and Family Therapy, helping couples navigate communication challenges, conflict resolution, trust concerns, emotional disconnection, intimacy difficulties, family conflicts, and long-distance relationship stress.

Cultural Understanding Can Improve Therapeutic Outcomes

For many couples, cultural context plays an important role in relationship challenges. Expectations around marriage, family involvement, finances, parenting, gender roles, and communication styles often influence relationship dynamics in ways that generic counselling approaches may overlook.

Experts recommend choosing therapists who understand diverse cultural backgrounds and family systems, allowing therapy to be both relevant and practical for the couple’s circumstances.

A culturally informed therapist can help couples address challenges while remaining sensitive to personal values, traditions, and family expectations, creating a more meaningful and productive counselling experience.

Accessibility and Flexible Scheduling Are Essential

One of the key advantages of teletherapy is convenience. However, experts suggest that accessibility should extend beyond simply offering virtual sessions.

Couples should look for platforms that provide flexible appointment options, convenient scheduling systems, and support across multiple time zones. This is particularly important for partners managing demanding careers, travel schedules, or living in different locations.

Online counselling can make it easier for couples to attend sessions consistently, reducing common barriers such as commuting, scheduling conflicts, and geographical distance.

Confidentiality and Data Security Should Never Be Overlooked

Privacy remains one of the most important concerns when seeking mental health support online.

Mental health professionals advise couples to verify that any teletherapy platform follows appropriate confidentiality standards, secure communication protocols, and professional ethical guidelines designed to protect client information.

Trust is a fundamental component of effective therapy, and maintaining confidentiality helps create a safe environment where couples can openly discuss sensitive concerns.

Evidence-Based Therapy Delivers Better Results

Experts also encourage couples to evaluate whether a platform uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches rather than relying solely on general advice or informal coaching methods.

Established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method interventions, and other research-backed relationship counselling frameworks provide structured strategies that help couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and address recurring relationship patterns.

Evidence-based therapy focuses on measurable progress and practical skill-building rather than offering temporary solutions to deeper relationship concerns.

Continuity of Care Supports Long-Term Progress

Consistency is another factor often overlooked when selecting an online counselling platform.

Relationship experts recommend choosing services that allow couples to work with the same therapist throughout their counselling journey whenever possible. Therapist continuity helps build trust, improves therapeutic understanding, and enables more meaningful long-term progress.

When couples repeatedly switch providers, valuable therapeutic context can be lost, potentially slowing the counselling process.

Support for a Wide Range of Relationship Concerns

Every relationship is unique, and counselling needs often extend beyond conflict resolution.

Couples may seek professional support for premarital counselling, communication difficulties, rebuilding trust after betrayal, intercultural relationship challenges, emotional intimacy concerns, long-distance relationships, parenting disagreements, family conflicts, and major life transitions.

Experts suggest choosing platforms that offer specialized relationship services tailored to diverse relationship stages and concerns.

Looking Beyond Convenience

As online marriage counselling continues to gain acceptance, mental health professionals emphasize that convenience alone should not be the deciding factor when selecting a teletherapy platform.

The qualifications of the therapist, ethical standards, confidentiality practices, cultural understanding, evidence-based methodologies, and continuity of care all contribute to the quality of the therapeutic experience.

By carefully evaluating these factors, couples can make informed decisions and access professional support that promotes healthier communication, stronger emotional connections, and long-term relationship wellbeing.
