I'm told that, too, but my analyst says almost everyone has a mixture of "dyadic" and "triadic" difficulties, and needs to start with the "being with another" phase.. He wants people with the earlier difficulties to sit up, but does use the couch for people who are working on later issues (age 3 plus).I'll know I'm making progress if he invites me to lie down!
He said that some analysts using skype for traditional analysis have the camera placed behind the head of the patient, who is lying down on the couch. He laughed and shook his head, saying "more Freudian than Freud!". He does supervision but no therapy via skype in China. He really seems to enjoy it.
