Online Couples Counseling
Serving Texas, Florida, and 42 Other States via PSYPACT
Support for partners who love each other deeply but feel stuck, disconnected, and exhausted by the same relationship patterns.
Let’s be honest
Your relationship wasn’t supposed to feel this tense, distant, or fragile.
I provide online couples counseling for partners who want to improve communication, rebuild emotional connection, and change painful relationship patterns.
You used to feel close.
Like a team.
Like “us.”
But somewhere between the stress, the miscommunication, the shutdowns, defensiveness, and the emotional exhaustion… you started feeling more like roommates than partners.
Right now, it might look like:
One of you reaches and the other retreats (and both of you feel lonely)
Conversations turn into misunderstandings
Resentment quietly building
Conflict feels either explosive or completely avoided
You miss each other, but reconnecting feels risky
You want repair but don’t know where to start
You love each other.
You’re just stuck in patterns that are hard to see from the inside.
If this sounds like your relationship, let’s see what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Years of working with relationships has taught me that most relationship struggles aren’t about the surface arguments. You’re not really fighting about dishes, schedules, or tone. You’re fighting about disconnection, fear, longing, and unmet needs.
I work with couples who genuinely love each other but can’t seem to get on the same emotional page, because they were never given the tools, language, or shared roadmap.
My approach blends calm clarity, attunement, and real-talk guidance.
Think of couples counseling with me like this:
You’re the drivers. I’m the GPS.
Together, we figure out where you are, what keeps derailing you, and how to move forward without repeating the same emotional detours.
Ready for a neutral guide instead of another round of the same argument?I understand the patterns couples get stuck in and how to help you break them.
What Couples Counseling With Me Feels Like
I’m not here to referee.
And I’m not here to sit back and watch you argue.
Instead, I am here to:
Help you understand what’s underneath your reactions
Build connection and safety back into your relationship
Help you move from opponents back into teammates
Get more of your needs met
Help you recover from conflicts faster
Expand your emotional safety so you can show up better for each other
Teach communication tools to reduce shutting down or blowing up
Clients often tell me:
“You don’t take sides, you take the side of the relationship.”
“You make hard conversations feel manageable.”
“You help us understand what’s happening in the moment, not just after the fact.”
Therapy with me feels like moving out of reaction mode and into real connection again.
“Conflict is growth trying to happen.”

Common Myths About Couples Counseling
Let’s Bust These Real Quick
-
Absolutely not. You don’t need a ring to get some relationship bling.
Dating? Living together? Situationship-but-with-feelings? All welcome.
If you’re in a relationship of any kind, you qualify. Period. -
Nope.
And if you’re newer? Still not too early.
Healthy couples tune-up before things blow up. -
Also no.
You don’t need a crisis, a betrayal, or a dramatic last straw to deserve support.
Couples come to therapy when they want to communicate better, fight less, understand each other more, unpack old wounds, or reconnect without it feeling like a chore.
All of those are legit. -
Honestly? It means the opposite (i.e., emotional maturity).
Seeking support is commitment.It says: We care enough to work on this.
-
Real talk:
Couples therapy can absolutely help a relationship heal and thrive.
But sometimes, the kindest, bravest outcome is choosing separate paths with clarity and respect.
If therapy reveals that, it’s still a success, because you’re choosing truth over confusion, understanding over chaos, and integrity over autopilot.Sometimes that path means deeper connection.
Sometimes it means conscious uncoupling.Either way, you are supported with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment.
-
Not in my relationship mojo dojo casa house.
This is a relationship-friendly zone, where stronger, steadier, more connected partnerships grow with tools, insight, and zero judgment.
My job is to support the two of you as a team, help you understand your patterns, and strengthen your communication, not declare a winner.
Frequently Asked Questions About Online Couples Counseling
-
Ideally, yes, but they don’t have to be equally enthusiastic.
It’s common for one partner to initiate and the other to feel hesitant. What matters most is willingness to show up and participate honestly.
If one partner is completely opposed to therapy or unwilling to engage in reflection or change, couples work may not be productive yet. We can discuss that dynamic during a consultation and determine the best next step.
-
No.
I work with adult couples who are dating, engaged, married, long-term partners, or navigating commitment transitions.
If you are in a committed relationship and want to improve communication, rebuild trust, or break painful patterns, couples counseling can help, regardless of marital status.
-
I work best with couples experiencing:
Communication breakdown
Repeated conflict cycles (pursuer/withdrawer dynamics)
Emotional disconnection
Resentment buildup
Trust repair after relational injuries
Intimacy challenges
Life transitions (parenthood, career shifts, relocation)
Feeling like roommates instead of teammates
If you both care about the relationship but feel stuck in patterns you can’t untangle alone, this is the right space.
-
This practice does not provide:
Crisis or emergency services
Care for active suicidal intent
Court-ordered couples treatment
Active domestic violence or coercive control situations
Intensive or higher-level care
Treatment for unmanaged substance dependence that is destabilizing the relationship
If there is active violence, fear for safety, or coercion in the relationship, couples therapy is not appropriate at this time. Safety must come first.
If you’re unsure whether your situation falls within this scope, we can discuss that during a consultation.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes via secure video. I provide online couples counseling to partners physically located in Texas, Florida, and PSYPACT-participating states where I’m authorized to practice.
Both partners must be located in a state where I’m legally permitted to provide services at the time of each session.
Most sessions are held jointly. Occasionally, I may recommend brief individual check-ins to support the overall work, but the focus remains on the relationship.
In session, we:
Slow down real-time conflict patterns
Identify what’s underneath reactivity
Build emotional safety
Practice new communication tools
Strengthen repair after rupture
I am not a referee. I am not a judge.
I take the side of the relationship and help both of you feel heard and accountable. -
No.
My role is to understand each partner’s internal experience and help you see each other more clearly.
If harmful behavior is occurring, I will name it directly and address it. Neutrality does not mean ignoring impact. It means guiding both of you toward responsibility, safety, and repair.
-
Yes.
Many couples find online therapy effective because:
You’re in your own environment
Scheduling is easier
We can work with real-life triggers as they happen
The quality of the work depends far more on willingness and engagement than on physical location.
-
Couples therapy is not only for saving relationships.
It can help you:
Clarify what’s possible
Improve communication during a transition
Separate with respect, if that’s the direction
The goal is clarity and integrity, not forcing a particular outcome.
-
I am a private-pay practice.
Payment is due at the time of service. If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement.
Many couples choose private pay for privacy and flexibility, especially when sensitive relational issues are involved.
We can discuss whether this feels like a sustainable investment during your consultation.
-
It depends on the patterns you’re working to change.
Some couples experience noticeable shifts within 8–12 sessions as communication improves and emotional safety increases. Others choose longer-term work for deeper repair or long-standing dynamics.
We move at a pace that supports sustainable change, not surface-level fixes.
Ready for support that helps you understand each other instead of fighting?You, lovely humans, are in the right place!
Let’s make today the day your patterns stop running the relationship and connection starts leading again.
Before you reach out, here’s a quick note about scope and safety: Online counseling is not appropriate for all concerns. This practice does not provide crisis or emergency services, care for active suicidality, court-ordered treatment, active domestic violence situations, or higher-level/intensive services.
If you are in crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts, please seek immediate help by calling 911, going to your nearest emergency room, calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or texting HOME to 74741 to connect with a Crisis Counselor.
