In a vibrant city like Miami, it’s easy for the beauty and energy around you to fade into the background when tension takes over at home. You miss your partner. Between long workdays, traffic on I-95, and the demands of family life, communication can start to break down.
Online couples counseling in Miami helps you rebuild connection and understanding without adding more stress to your day.
When my husband, myself & our toddler moved back to Florida where I grew up, resentments started to build. We needed practical, in-the-moment tools to break the cycle, but I couldn’t find them. So, I created them.
Now, I help couples just like you communicate effectively, resolve conflicts quickly, and reconnect in meaningful ways.
If you’re tired of feeling disconnected and ready to transform your relationship, book a free 15-minute call today.
Our disagreements now take us five minutes versus 2 hours!

Yes. When you work with a licensed marriage and family therapist who understands the unique rhythm of Miami life, couples counseling can transform your relationship satisfaction. Through therapeutic interventions tailored to your unique needs, we address relationship issues like frequent arguments, cultural differences, or parenting stress, common among couples in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Brickell, and beyond. I bring a deep understanding of how Miami’s vibrant, high-energy pace and diverse cultures influence emotional connection and conflict resolution. Many couples here describe therapy as the turning point that helped them feel heard, reconnect, and build a loving relationship that lasts.
Every couple’s own story is different, but many feel relief within the first few sessions. In our first session, we’ll identify your main concerns, talk about your relationship’s nature, and begin relationship work right away. My approach combines effective programs with a holistic approach, so you gain insight and see changes quickly. Most clients meet twice a month for about six months, though some stay longer, especially during life transitions like moving to Miami from another country, adjusting to hurricane season stress, or navigating parenting in a city with so many year-round events and distractions.
Yes, online couples counseling in Florida can be just as effective as in-person therapy. Research shows that virtual sessions, when led by a trained couples therapist using evidence-based approaches, can improve communication, reduce conflict, and increase emotional connection. Many young adults and busy professionals prefer online sessions to avoid I-95 or US-1 traffic. The convenience of meeting from home actually makes it easier to show up consistently. Many couples feel more comfortable doing therapy from home than in a clinical office. Being in your own space lowers defenses, builds rapport faster, and helps you open up more easily, so you get results sooner. I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you want to talk more about working together.
Industry-wide, relationship therapy has a success rate of about 70% according to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. In my Miami practice, most couples, whether from South Beach, Kendall, or Wynwood, experience significant improvement in communication, intimacy, and trust. Success depends on starting before resentment builds, staying consistent with sessions, and working with relationship therapists who offer expert guidance and comprehensive support.
Absolutely. Many Miami couples seek therapy during life transitions such as relocating from New York or Latin America, adjusting to a bilingual household, balancing parenting with careers, or coping with the demands of a city that never seems to slow down. We create solutions for maintaining a fulfilling relationship while adapting to new routines, cultural dynamics, and seasonal challenges.
Therapy offers a safe, neutral space to talk, identify patterns, and address concerns before they become bigger challenges. Whether you’re dealing with intimacy issues, parenting conflicts, or anxiety tied to relationship changes, you’ll leave with actionable solutions. Many couples report leaving sessions with a deep understanding of one another and a renewed commitment to their loving relationship.
In the first session, we discuss your relationship history, current challenges, and goals. You’ll each have space to share while I listen for patterns that affect communication and intimacy. Sessions may include skill-building, role-playing, or reflective listening exercises. We often address relational issues like balancing the nightlife of South Beach with quiet time together, managing extended family involvement, or navigating the unique needs of multicultural relationships.

We address the pressures of high-demand careers, common in Miami’s finance, hospitality, and healthcare industries… while protecting your emotional connection. For some couples, that means setting boundaries around work during vacation getaways to the Keys or Biscayne Bay; for others, it’s learning daily connection rituals that feel as refreshing as a sunrise walk along the Venetian Causeway.
With over 20 years as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I combine expert guidance with a holistic approach. I integrate self-esteem work, communication skills, and emotional awareness into the process so you not only solve current relationship issues but also prevent future ones.

Couples therapy in FL can be covered by insurance in some cases, when it is considered a medical necessity. Relationship therapy for Florida couples focused on communication, creating new patterns and growing closer is often not considered a medical necessity and does not fit the traditional medical model where there is a diagnosis and specific treatment. Insurance acceptance varies by provider and insurance plan. It’s essential to verify with both your therapist and insurance company to understand the coverage details. Always confirm your benefits before beginning therapy to avoid unexpected costs and ensure a smooth therapy experience. If you’d like to explore your options, I can help you understand what questions to ask your provider on a free consultation.
The investment for each couples counseling session ranges from $175 to $350 per 50-minute session, depending on the level of support you choose and your benefits. Most couples in Florida experience real momentum and clarity within just a few sessions. Many clients also use their HSA/FSA benefits or receive up to 50% reimbursement through their insurance provider. If you’re not sure what’s covered, I can help guide you through the right questions to ask on a free consultation call.
If couples therapy in Florida is tied to a diagnosable mental health condition, some plans may cover it. However, therapy focused on relationship dynamics, communication, and emotional growth is often not considered a “medical necessity” and may not be covered. Coverage depends on your specific plan and the policies of your insurer. Some plans reimburse a portion or all of the cost if the therapy is delivered by a licensed counselor in Florida. It is advisable to check directly with your insurance provider and therapist about coverage details and eligibility before starting therapy.
Therapy sessions are confidential, and what you share won’t be disclosed without your written consent. There are a few legal exceptions to confidentiality, such as if there’s a risk of serious harm to you or others which will be addressed fully in the informed consent. If you’re using insurance, it’s important to know that most insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis for reimbursement. That diagnosis becomes part of your medical record, which some couples prefer to avoid. Because of this, many couples choose to pay privately to maintain more privacy and avoid labeling their relationship or one partner with a clinical diagnosis. If you’re unsure what’s right for you, I’m happy to talk through the options on a free consultation call.
If you’re feeling stuck in the same arguments, drifting apart, or craving better communication, relationship therapy can be a powerful investment. It’s ideal for busy couples who want efficient, research-backed strategies they can apply right away. Determining whether couples therapy is a worthwhile investment involves assessing your relationship needs and commitment. Look at the therapist’s qualifications and the therapy model used. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Many couples use therapy to reconnect, improve emotional safety, and become better teammates. Couples’ success stories, reviews and results can be found here.

It’s totally understandable to feel wary if therapy didn’t go well in the past. But not all therapy is the same. My approach is collaborative, actionable, and grounded in 20+ years of experience helping high-achieving couples in FL reconnect without blame or overwhelm. We’ll set clear goals together, use proven strategies, and create a space that actually feels safe and productive. If you want to learn more about my approach, start with a free 15-minute consultation to get a feel for the process. Sometimes, a fresh approach makes all the difference.

Yes. Change can begin with one partner’s self-awareness and commitment to growth. It’s incredibly common for one partner to feel ready before the other, especially if they feel shamed, have significant trauma or have previously had a negative experience in therapy. While couples therapy works best when both people are involved, change can still begin with just one of you. If you start learning how to communicate more clearly, respond instead of react, and break old patterns, your partner will likely start responding differently too.
You’re welcome to start with a free 15-minute consultation, and I’ll help you figure out a path forward that feels supportive and doable for both of you.
No. Many Miami couples use therapy to maintain relationship satisfaction, strengthen emotional bonds, and navigate life in a city full of opportunity and distraction. Many of the couples I work with are not in crisis. They are proactive, high-achieving, and just feeling disconnected, stuck in the same arguments, or wanting to grow together more intentionally. Couples therapy isn’t only about fixing what’s broken; it’s also about leveraging your strengths and building habits that help you stay close, even during stressful times. Think of it as relationship coaching for your emotional bond. The earlier you start, the easier it is to shift patterns and create real connection. Book a free 15-minute consultation to get clarity and support tailored to your relationship goals.
