1. A semi-automated, distributed interactive relationship-counseling system comprising:
one or more processor-controlled, video-enabled user devices employed by a pair of participants and running a relationship-counseling application:
a server that includes a user-interface subsystem, a client server communications subsystem, a synchronization-and-analytics subsystem, an analysis subsystem, and a session controller; and
control programs executing on the server and one or more processor-controlled, video-enabled user devices that control the semi-automate& distributed interactive relationship-counseling system to
provide a first-phase real-time audio/video session during which the participants discuss one or more topics,
generate a recording of synchronized audio, video, and physiology signals that are collected from both participants:
synchronize and mapping the collected audio, video, and physiology signals to a single high precision reference clock,
output the synchronized audio, video, and physical signals to the one or more user devices that preserve timing relationships between the synchronized signals while providing a second-phase real-time audio/video session between the participants, and
provide relationship-counseling outputs to the participants following the second-phase real-time audio video session.
