Couples Counseling & Relationship Therapy
Helping Couples Communicate,
Reconnect, and Heal
Relationships can be hard—If you’re struggling with intimacy, infidelity, or betrayal— or maybe you're just tired of feeling like roommates, frustrated with repeating the same argument, exhausted with talking about how you need better communication with no real results, or feeling "stuck" in your relationship, you are not alone. Couples counseling can help you find clarity and a path to connection.
Your marriage matters and it shouldn't always be "hard". Couple's therapy is a place where both partners can slow things down, feel seen, and begin making shifts towards the relationship you want. If your partner is resisting getting help, or if you’re unsure of your next move, let’s schedule a free, no-obligation discovery call to see if counseling is the next right move for you.
At Better at Relationships, we provide compassionate, evidence-based couples counseling and relationship therapy for individuals and couples who want more clarity, closeness, and emotional safety in their relationship.
Couples Counseling That Focuses on Understanding
Many couples come to counseling feeling frustrated, exhausted, or misunderstood. Often, the problem isn’t a lack of effort or commitment—it’s that the patterns you’re caught in aren’t working. In counseling we’ll get to the root of the pattern to give you better tools to creating new patterns that work.
Couples counseling can help with:
Ongoing conflict or communication breakdowns
Feeling emotionally disconnected or distant
Rebuilding trust after hurt, betrayal, or infidelity
Parenting stress or disagreements
Anxiety, stress, or life transitions affecting the relationship
Premarital counseling and preparation for marriage
Rather than assigning fault, relationship therapy focuses on understanding how your relationship works, what each partner needs, and how to respond to one another in healthier ways.
In-Person & Online Couples Counseling
We offer couples counseling both in-person in Frisco, Texas, and anywhere in Texas through secure online sessions, making therapy accessible whether you prefer face-to-face meetings or the convenience of telehealth.
Is Couples Counseling Right for You?
Couples counseling may be a good fit if:
You care about the relationship but feel stuck
You’re in the middle of “hard” and don’t know what to do
Conversations escalate quickly or shut down entirely
You want tools—not just venting
You’re willing to reflect on your own role in the relationship
You want help before problems become unmanageable
You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from couples therapy. In fact, the sooner you begin, the more likely you are to see success.

As a marriage and family therapist, I sit with couples every day who are feeling distant or disconnected with no clear path of how to reclaim the relationship they want. If this is you, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely in the right place.
Why is it that our most cherished relationships feel so hard?
Humans are hard wired to connect with each other. When we are disconnected, we feel pain, loneliness, sadness and rejection from the very person we desire the most.
Relationships are challenging, and they stretch us in ways that often do not feel great. I work with couples and individuals experiencing relationship challenges to help you find your connection again.
Whether you’ve been together one year or 50, relationship struggles can creep in and sabotage the connection you once felt. I can help you get clarity about your current relationship status and build a better relationship together.
If you’re feeling disconnected, or just feeling “stuck”, couple’s counseling is for you.

Services
Counseling services are based on an hourly rate. I do not take insurance. I believe mental health care should remain between you and your counselor—not dictated by your insurance company. I’m happy to work with you to adjust payments so they align more closely with your insurance copay. Let’s discuss what works best for you!
Most couples would describe the problems in their relationship as communication issues. I have found that the “communication issues” are often the symptom that identifies that there is something deeper that needs to be addressed. Getting to those deep issues, and re-setting the patterns that are keeping you disconnected is challenging work - especially if you’re not communicating well. Couple’s counseling can help you identify the source of the problem and will give you tools and insights of how you can work together for a better relationship.
Couple’s counseling is available in-person or virtual & is booked for 80 minutes.
It only takes ONE to start to make changes that will impact your relationships. If you’re struggling in your relationship and want support, or if you feel stuck and your partner is not willing to do couples counseling with you, individual counseling can help you find peace amid the discomfort.
Individual sessions available in-person or virtual and are booked for 50 minutes.
Start your relationship off on the right foot! Many of the relational challenges that occur later on in marriage are due to patterns developed early on. Premarital counseling is the wedding gift you can give to yourself or someone you love.
Premarital counseling is available online or in-person, and is booked as an 80 minute session.
Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Counseling
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does couples counseling usually take?
Many couples attend between 8 and 20 sessions, depending on their goals, the complexity of the challenges they’re facing, and how consistently new skills are practiced outside of sessions. Some couples benefit from shorter-term work, while others choose ongoing support.
What do I do if my partner won’t come to therapy?
While it is recommended that both partners work together to resolve relationships issues, if your partner won’t come to couple’s therapy, you can come on your own. Individual counseling can help you get clarity around your relationship. The insights and changes you make in therapy can have an impact on your relationship.
Do both partners need to attend every session?
Yes. Couples counseling is most effective when both partners attend sessions together. In some cases, individual sessions may be recommended as part of the overall counseling process, but the primary focus remains on working together as a couple.
Do accept insurance?
No. I believe mental health care should remain between you and your counselor—not dictated by your insurance company. I’m happy to work with you to adjust payments so they align more closely with your insurance copay. Let’s discuss what works best for you!
Is couples counseling only for relationships in crisis?
No. Many couples seek counseling before problems escalate. Couples counseling can help strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, and prevent small issues from becoming larger, more painful patterns over time. Starting counseling before the crisis will greatly improve your outcome.
Do you offer online couples counseling?
Yes. We offer secure online couples counseling sessions to anyone within the state of Texas, as well as in-person appointments in our Frisco, Texas, office. This allows couples to choose the format that best fits their schedules, comfort level, and location.
What is the difference between couples counseling and marriage counseling?
The terms couples counseling and marriage counseling are often used interchangeably. Both focus on helping partners improve their relationship, whether they are married, engaged, or in a long-term partnership.
