Online Couples Counseling NYC | Remote Relationship Therapy

When It's Time to Seek Couples Counseling

Signs that a relationship may benefit from therapy include:

• Growing emotional distance or feeling disconnected
• Repetitive arguments or hostile communication
• Difficulty trusting or relying on your partner
• Loss of intimacy or physical affection
• Feeling "stuck" in patterns and unable to move forward
• External stressors (work, finances, parenting) amplifying conflict

When you realize you're not relating - you're reacting - it may be time to reach out.

Why Online Couples Therapy Works for NYC Couples

• Flexible & Convenient: Attend therapy from your home or wherever you feel comfortable.
• No Commute Stress: Avoid adding more stress by traveling across NYC.
• Access Anywhere: Whether you're in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or even traveling - remote works.
• Safe, Private Space: You're already in your environment, which can help openness and vulnerability.
• Effective Approach: Research shows that teletherapy for couples performs comparably to in-person therapy when structured well.

Our Multi-Modal Approach to Couples Counseling

We integrate several research-based modalities to provide a holistic, custom approach. Some of the techniques we use include:

Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy (CBCT)

• Helps couples identify negative thinking patterns that fuel conflict
• Teaches skills to challenge and reframe these thoughts for healthier interactions

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Focuses on repairing emotional bonds and attachment safety
• Helps couples understand and respond to each other's emotional needs

Psychodynamic Couples Therapy

• Explores how your past (family, upbringing) shapes current relational patterns
• Builds awareness and empathy by reflecting on deeper drivers

Gottman Method / Behavioral Tools

• Emphasizes friendship, trust, conflict resolution, and shared meaning
• Includes rituals, check-ins, repair attempts for healthy dynamics

Solution-Focused / Skills-Based

• For couples with specific conflicts (e.g. parenting, finances), we provide actionable strategies and tools

We tailor the combination of these methods based on your needs, goals, and relationship style.

What to Expect in Your Online Couples Therapy Sessions

• Intake / Assessment: Initial session to understand history, strengths, goals
• Joint & Individual Work: Most sessions involve both partners; occasional individual segments may help address personal patterns
• Homework & Practice: Exercises, communication tasks, reflective journaling, etc.
• Check-ins & Adjustments: Regular reviews of progress and tweaks to your treatment plan
• Duration: Many couples benefit after 8-12 sessions, though some prefer ongoing sessions for deeper growth

The intention is growth, not blame - and that starts with each partner being heard and understood.
