Frequently asked questions
Couples Counseling Questions
What is couples counseling and how does it work? Couples counseling is a form of therapy where a licensed counselor works with both partners together to improve communication, address conflict, and strengthen the relationship. Sessions typically run 50–90 minutes and occur weekly or biweekly. A couples counselor at Healing Therapy Service will guide structured conversations, offer evidence-based tools, and help each partner feel heard in a safe, neutral space.
Do both partners have to want to come to therapy? Ideally, yes — couples counseling works best when both partners are willing to engage. That said, willingness doesn't have to be equal. It's common for one partner to be more skeptical going in. A good couples counselor creates conditions that help the more hesitant partner feel safe, not pressured. If only one partner is willing to attend, individual therapy can still be valuable for navigating relationship dynamics.
How is online couples counseling different from in-person? Online couples counseling takes place via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform and offers the same quality of clinical care as in-person sessions. It's particularly well-suited for couples with busy schedules, those in different locations, or anyone who simply prefers the comfort and convenience of home. We offer teletherapy to couples across California.
How long does couples therapy take? There is no universal timeline. Some couples come for a focused 8–12 session series with a specific goal. Others work together over several months or longer. During your free consultation, we'll discuss what you're navigating and offer a realistic sense of what to expect. Therapy works best when couples are genuinely committed to showing up consistently.
