What couples therapy involves
Couples therapy brings both partners into the room, or the video call, together with a therapist trained to work with two people rather than one. Many couples therapists use structured, evidence-based models such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which look at the pattern underneath a recurring argument rather than just the argument itself, to help partners rebuild trust, communicate more clearly, and navigate conflict in a way that actually holds up at home.
You don't need to be in crisis to start: some couples come in ahead of a known friction point, to prepare for marriage, or simply to build stronger habits together. Sessions are typically weekly at first and taper off as things improve. The providers below work specifically with couples and can help you find the right fit for where you are.

Frequently asked questions
- Does insurance cover couples therapy in Fort Lauderdale?

Check each provider's profile below for how they handle insurance for couples sessions.
- How many sessions does couples therapy usually take?
- It varies widely by what you're working on. Some couples see meaningful change in 8–12 sessions; others work with a therapist for months, especially after a significant breach of trust. Ask a provider directly about their typical timeline during a first consultation.
