in
 Austin, Texas & Across the State

When the same arguments keep repeating or distance quietly grows between you, it can start to feel lonely inside the relationship. You may love one another and still feel unsure how to reach each other in ways that truly land.
Online couples therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of these patterns, and gently rebuild emotional connection. I work with couples in Austin and throughout Texas through trauma-informed, emotionally focused online therapy to support repair, understanding, and lasting change.

Do You Feel Stuck in the Same Relationship Patterns?

Many couples seek therapy when they feel worn down by the same conversations and conflicts that never seem to move forward. You may find yourselves repeating the same argument, avoiding difficult topics, or feeling emotionally distant despite caring deeply about one another. One partner may feel criticized or unseen, while the other feels overwhelmed, shut down, or alone.

From a trauma-informed and emotionally focused perspective, these patterns are understandable. They often develop as ways to manage stress, protect against emotional pain, or respond to moments where connection has felt uncertain or unsafe. Over time, these protective strategies can leave both partners feeling disconnected and misunderstood.

Online couples therapy offers a space to slow these patterns down, understand what is happening beneath them, and begin creating new ways of relating that feel more secure and supportive.

How Online Couples Therapy Can Help You Reconnect

 Helpful Resources

Online couples therapy is not about fixing one partner or learning scripted communication techniques. It is about helping you understand each other more fully and creating emotional experiences that foster safety, responsiveness, and trust.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method approaches, we work together online to:

  • Identify the cycle that keeps pulling you into conflict or distance

  • Understand the emotions and attachment needs beneath each partner’s reactions

  • Reduce defensiveness, shutdown, and escalation

  • Strengthen emotional safety and trust

  • Develop practical tools for navigating conflict with more clarity and care

As emotional understanding grows, many couples notice that communication begins to shift naturally. Conversations feel less charged, repair happens more easily, and partners begin to feel more connected and aligned.

My Trauma-Informed Approach to Online Couples Therapy

My work with couples is grounded in trauma-informed care, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In online sessions, I pay close attention to emotional safety, nervous system responses, and the ways past experiences continue to shape present-day interactions.

Rather than focusing on blame or problem-solving too quickly, we slow down and explore:

  • How stress and attachment history influence reactions

  • Why certain moments feel especially painful or overwhelming

  • What each partner needs in order to feel safe, valued, and emotionally connected

Sessions are collaborative and paced with care. My role is to help create a secure, respectful space—online—where both partners feel understood and supported, allowing meaningful repair and lasting change to emerge.

Common Issues Addressed in Online Couples Therapy

Couples seek online therapy for a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Ongoing conflict or communication breakdowns

  • Emotional distance or loss of intimacy

  • Trust concerns, infidelity, or breaches of emotional safety

  • Parenting stress and life transitions

  • Resentment, burnout, or feeling unappreciated

  • Anxiety, trauma, or external stress impacting the relationship

  • Reconnecting after years of disconnection

You do not need to be in crisis to begin couples therapy. Many couples reach out when they sense that something is off and want support before patterns become more entrenched.

What to Expect from Online Couples Therapy

Online couples therapy offers the same depth, structure, and emotional attunement as in-person work. Sessions are intentional and focused, with space for both partners to slow down, reflect, and engage in the process together.

Many couples find that online therapy:

  • Feels more accessible and less intimidating

  • Fits more naturally into their daily lives

  • Supports consistency and momentum

  • Allows for meaningful emotional work and connection

If you have questions about whether online couples therapy is a good fit for your relationship, we can explore that together.
