LPC

“We might be a good fit if you are looking for a 1:1 therapist and any of these questions feel familiar: Am I exploring my queer and/or trans identity in relationship to my family, my community, society and/or the history/ancestry of queer and/or trans people? Am I curious about what’s going on in my body, because I am often stuck in my head? How do I process the impact of the trauma or pain carried by those who have hurt me, or those that I have loved? What are boundaries, really? Is my curiosity piqued by any of the following perspectives: decolonization, feminist-intersectional, parts work, narrative and/or somatics?Or- If you are looking for a relationship therapist- What is "working" within our current relationship(s)? What parts of me are drawn to or activated by the various parts within you? What would healthy and holistic boundaries look like for us? What patterns need reset?”

Wildroot Relationship Therapy PLLC

LMFT

Licensed In:
Colorado, Illinois
“I’m a marriage and family therapist who works through a systemic and attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape how we experience ourselves and others. Early emotional environments teach us ways to cope and connect, but those strategies aren’t always sustainable. Therapy offers a space to explore and reshape those patterns. I specialize in working with couples and new parents navigating disconnection, communication challenges, and identity shifts. I also support individuals, adolescents, children, and families in learning to move through emotions rather than around them, building confidence, resilience, and secure connections.”

LPC-S, MT-BC

Licensed In:
Arizona, Louisiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas
“I work with high-functioning adults and couples who may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship wounds, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, grief, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients are helpers, creatives, professionals, therapists, musicians, caregivers, and highly sensitive people who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else. I also work with adults healing from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature family systems, and experiences that still live in the body long after the events are over. My practice is especially supportive for clients who want more than traditional talk therapy and are drawn to experiential, somatic, creative, and trauma-focused approaches that help create lasting emotional and nervous system change.”

About Couples Therapy

Online couples therapy, sometimes called couples counseling, gives partners a structured space to work with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions. It can support communication, recurring conflict, trust, intimacy, decision-making, relationship transitions, affair recovery, separation conversations, or rebuilding connection over time.

Therapy Expanded helps you compare online couples therapists by state, relationship concerns, therapy approach, insurance, language, and availability. If one partner is seeking private support, individual therapy may be a better starting point. If the concern involves children, parenting roles, or several family members, you may also want to browse family therapy or parenting therapy.

What to Know About Online Couples Therapy

Online couples therapy is relationship counseling delivered remotely through secure telehealth platforms, usually by video and sometimes by phone. It gives partners a structured space to work with a licensed mental health professional on communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, life transitions, and other relationship concerns without needing to meet in person.

For many couples, online therapy makes getting support feel more realistic. It can be easier to coordinate around work schedules, parenting responsibilities, travel, or living in different locations. It may also open up access to providers outside your immediate area, which can be especially helpful if you are looking for a therapist with experience in a specific issue, identity, culture, or relationship dynamic.

Online couples therapy can support people in all kinds of relationships, whether they are dating, engaged, married, long-term partners, or navigating separation. Some couples start therapy because they feel stuck in recurring arguments. Others want to rebuild closeness, recover from a breach of trust, improve communication, or make important decisions together. Therapy does not have to be a last resort. Many couples use it proactively to strengthen their relationship before problems grow.

That said, online couples therapy is not the right fit for every situation. If there are serious safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercive control, or one partner cannot speak freely, a different level or type of support may be more appropriate. The right provider can help you understand whether telehealth couples therapy is a good starting point for your needs.

How Does Online Couples Therapy Work?

Online couples counseling usually starts with finding a provider who offers telehealth and works with couples. Many directory profiles list the therapist’s specialties, relationship approaches, fees, and scheduling details so you can compare options before reaching out. Some providers also offer a consultation to answer questions and help you decide whether the fit feels right.

After booking, you will typically complete intake paperwork and receive instructions for joining your session online. Most couples therapy sessions take place with both partners attending together from the same location or from separate locations, depending on the provider’s policies and your circumstances. A strong internet connection, a private setting, and a space where both partners can speak openly can make sessions more productive.

In the first few sessions, the therapist will usually learn about your relationship history, current concerns, and what each partner hopes to get from therapy. You may talk about communication patterns, recurring disagreements, emotional disconnection, parenting stress, intimacy, trust, or major life changes affecting the relationship. The therapist’s role is not to “pick a side,” but to help both people feel heard while identifying patterns and creating healthier ways to respond.

As therapy continues, sessions may focus on building communication skills, managing conflict more effectively, increasing emotional understanding, repairing trust, or clarifying shared goals. Some therapists use a structured approach with exercises and tools to practice between sessions, while others focus more on insight and deeper relational patterns. Like in-person therapy, online couples therapy works best when both partners are willing to participate honestly and consistently.

How to Find the Right Online Therapist for Couples Therapy

Finding the right online provider for couples therapy starts with practical fit. Make sure the provider offers telehealth, works with couples, and is licensed to see clients where each partner will be located during sessions. If you and your partner live in different states, that is especially important to confirm early.

Next, look for clinical fit. Couples therapists may specialize in communication issues, conflict repair, premarital counseling, infidelity recovery, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, blended families, LGBTQ+ relationships, intercultural relationships, or separation and discernment work. A provider whose experience matches your goals is more likely to understand the dynamics you are bringing into the room.

It also helps to pay attention to the therapist’s style. Some couples therapists are more structured and skills-based, offering exercises and practical tools. Others are more reflective, focusing on emotional patterns, attachment, and deeper relationship dynamics. Reading provider bios can give you a sense of whether their approach feels aligned with what you and your partner want.

Cost, scheduling, and logistics matter too. Look at session fees, insurance information, cancellation policies, session length, and whether the therapist allows partners to join from different locations. Because couples therapy requires buy-in from two people, convenience can make a big difference in whether the process feels sustainable.

When available, a consultation can be a helpful next step. Ask what online couples therapy with them usually looks like, what relationship concerns they most often work with, and how they approach conflict, communication, or trust issues. The right provider should feel balanced, experienced, and able to create a space where both partners feel respected. A good directory makes that search easier by helping you compare providers and connect with someone who fits both your needs and your relationship goals.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Online Couples Therapy FAQs

What is online couples therapy?

Online couples therapy is relationship counseling delivered remotely through telehealth. Sessions are usually held by video and involve both partners meeting with a licensed mental health professional to work on relationship concerns in a structured, supportive setting.

How is online couples therapy different from in-person couples therapy?

The main difference is the format. Instead of meeting in an office, you join sessions remotely from home or another private space. The goals are often the same: improving communication, understanding patterns, addressing conflict, and building a healthier relationship.

Is online couples therapy effective?

Research suggests that online couples therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy for many couples, although the evidence is still developing and is more nuanced than the research on individual teletherapy. In a randomized study comparing videoconferencing couples therapy with face-to-face treatment, couples showed similar improvements in relationship satisfaction, mental health, and therapeutic alliance, with no significant differences between formats.

What issues can online couples therapy help with?

Online couples therapy may help with communication problems, recurring arguments, emotional distance, trust issues, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, life transitions, premarital questions, and relationship decision-making. Some couples also use therapy to strengthen an already stable relationship.

Do both partners need to attend every session?

In many cases, yes, but it depends on the provider’s approach. Some couples therapists primarily meet with both partners together, while others may occasionally schedule individual sessions as part of the work. It is best to ask how the therapist structures online couples therapy before getting started.

Can we do online couples therapy if we are in different locations?

Often, yes. Many providers can work with couples joining from separate homes, offices, or even different cities. However, licensing rules can still apply based on where each partner is physically located during the session, so it is important to confirm this with the provider ahead of time. For help finding a provider licensed in multiple states, see our guide on finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.

Will I still feel a real connection with my therapist online?

Yes, many couples do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling heard, understood, and supported, not just from being in the same room. Online therapy can still feel personal, collaborative, and emotionally engaging. The therapist’s style, your comfort with the format, and the overall fit all play a role in how connected the experience feels.

How much does online couples counseling cost?

The cost of online couples therapy varies by provider, location, session length, and specialty. Some therapists offer private-pay rates only, while others may provide sliding-scale options. Provider profiles often list fees or make it easy to ask about pricing before booking.

Can we use insurance for online couples therapy?

Sometimes, but it depends on the provider and your insurance plan. Coverage for couples therapy can vary more than coverage for individual therapy. It is a good idea to ask both the provider and your insurance company what services are covered and what your out-of-pocket costs may be.

When is online couples therapy not the right choice?

Online couples therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, ongoing abuse, coercive control, severe escalation, or situations where one partner cannot speak openly. In those cases, individual support, in-person care, or local crisis resources may be more appropriate. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8 right away.

Can online couples therapy help if we’re not married?

Yes. Online couples therapy is not just for married partners—it can help people who are dating, engaged, living together, co-parenting, or in any committed relationship. Many unmarried couples use therapy to improve communication, work through conflict, rebuild trust, navigate major life decisions, or decide what they want for the future. What matters most is not your marital status, but whether both partners are willing to show up, participate honestly, and work on the relationship together.
