“I work with adults (18+), especially women navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support veterans coping with the lasting impact of stress and trauma, and individuals experiencing complicated grief—especially when loss feels unresolved. In couples counseling, I help partners break patterns of conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. If you’re going through a life transition—whether expected or sudden—you might feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction. Together, we can work to help you regain clarity and a stronger sense of self. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and real. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to be honest, understood without judgment, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.”

Some clients are new to therapy; others have done insight-oriented work and are ready to deepen it. You don’t need the “right words” to begin — just a willingness to show up. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of healing. When you feel safe and respected, meaningful change becomes possible. My role is to collaborate with you, helping you build emotional capacity, self-trust, and confidence in your voice. Therapy is something we build together.”

“I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. I especially serve first responders, military members, and their families facing chronic stress, trauma exposure, relationship strain, or the emotional toll of service. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. Some struggle with unresolved trauma, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or depression. Others are facing relationship challenges, loss, or identity shifts. You may appear high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling anxious, numb, or alone. If you want to address root issues and not just manage symptoms, I offer a compassionate space to process, heal, and build resilience so you can feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful.”

“Many times people come to me with some area they are feeling stuck or are struggling with strong feelings that are hard to understand or control. I specialize in trauma and use somatic based practices to help people move from stress reactions to regulated responses. I've been in private practice over 12 years and provide supervision and support for clinicians navigating life/work balance. I also facilitate peer supervision with two groups of clinicians. Symptoms and Diagnoses help guide our treatment, but are not the whole picture. I believe in listening to our bodies natural intelligence, to understand the reason you are experiencing symptoms and identify how to get to the root of the issue.”

LMFTA

Licensed In:
Washington
“Do you find yourself overthinking conversations, re-reading texts, or apologizing when you’re not even sure what you did wrong? Maybe you and your partner keep landing in the same painful cycle, wanting connection but not knowing how to get there? I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in patterns, such as people-pleasing, self-doubt, shutting down, or repeating the same arguments. Together, we slow down, notice what’s happening, and start to relate in more grounded, self-trusting ways. We also work on building the capacity to sit with discomfort and uncertainty, so small shifts can actually stick.”

About Gottman Method

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

What to expect

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured approach to couples counseling that focuses on how partners communicate, handle conflict, respond when the other person reaches for connection, and rebuild trust over time. In online sessions, a therapist may spend early appointments getting a picture of your relationship, noticing recurring patterns, and guiding you through practical tools to slow arguments, repair after a hard moment, and strengthen day-to-day connection. People often look for this approach when they feel stuck in the same fights, want better communication, are preparing for marriage or long-term commitment, or are trying to recover from distance, resentment, or a breach of trust. If you want couples therapy that is active, organized, and skill-based, Gottman Method may be worth exploring.

How to choose a therapist

Look for a therapist who clearly works with couples and explains how Gottman Method is used in telehealth sessions. Some profiles mention formal Gottman Method training, while others describe Gottman-informed work within a broader couples approach. Think about pace, too: do you want weekly skill-building, support after a recent rupture, or premarital work with a clear roadmap? Compare profiles for experience with issues like recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust repair, parenting stress, or life transitions. Pay attention to communication style as well. The right fit often feels balanced, practical, and nonjudgmental. Before booking, ask how online sessions are run, whether partners can join from different locations, and what the first few appointments usually look like.

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.

Questions about this approach

How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers Gottman Method?

Start with the state filter for the state or states where you will be physically located during sessions. Then narrow results by service type, insurance, language, therapy type, and any other filters that matter to you. Read profiles for mentions of Gottman Method, couples counseling, relationship issues, premarital work, or marriage counseling. Compare a few providers, note who seems to fit your goals, and reach out to ask practical questions before booking.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses Gottman Method in online work, what the first few sessions look like, and whether the process is more structured or more flexible. You can also ask whether they work with couples at your stage of relationship, how they handle high conflict, whether they use assessments or between-session exercises, and whether both partners can attend from different locations if needed.

Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Usually, yes. In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed in the state where you are physically located during the session, not just the state where you live. If you travel, move between states, or you and your partner join from different places, ask about this before scheduling. If you need more flexibility, it may help to find a therapist licensed in multiple states.

Can Gottman Method be done virtually through telehealth therapy?

Yes. Gottman Method can often translate well to telehealth because the therapist is still watching how you and your partner communicate, interrupt, repair, shut down, or reconnect in real time. Online sessions may include structured questions, guided conversations, and practical exercises to use between appointments. Before you book, ask whether both partners can join from separate devices or different locations and how the therapist handles privacy and conflict online.

Who is Gottman Method best for?

Gottman Method is often a good fit for dating, engaged, married, or long-term partners who want practical help with recurring arguments, communication problems, emotional distance, trust repair after a rupture, or premarital support. It often appeals to people who like a clear, skills-based approach instead of only open-ended talking. It usually works best when both partners are willing to participate, look at patterns honestly, and practice new ways of responding between sessions.

Do Gottman Method therapists need special certification or training?

Some therapists complete formal Gottman Method Couples Therapy trainings, and a smaller group go on to complete the full certification track. Others may describe their work as Gottman-informed and blend those tools with broader couples therapy. Profiles may use different wording, so focus on whether the therapist regularly works with couples, explains how they use the approach online, and seems like a strong fit for your goals.

Does insurance cover online Gottman Method therapy, and how does payment usually work?

Coverage varies by plan and provider. Some therapists are in-network, some are out-of-network, and some are private pay only. Couples therapy coverage can be more complicated than individual therapy, so ask how sessions are billed, what the fee is, whether a superbill is available, and what your out-of-pocket cost may be. Checking this before the first appointment can save you stress later.

When is online Gottman Method therapy not the right choice?

Online Gottman Method therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be a poor fit if joint sessions do not feel safe. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
