Practical Support for Couples Who Want Real Change.
At Austin Couples Counseling, we specialize in therapy for partners who want to improve communication, resolve conflict, and reconnect emotionally. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Adlerian Psychology, and Solution-Focused techniques, we help couples focus on actionable solutions for the present and future—without getting stuck in the past.
Effective, Present-Focused Couples Therapy
Relationships often break down when communication patterns become unhealthy and conflict becomes overwhelming. Many couples feel like they’re having the same argument over and over without resolution. Our counseling process helps you identify those stuck patterns and develop new ways of interacting that promote understanding and connection.
We use a goal-oriented and structured approach that focuses on what’s working, what’s missing, and how to move toward the relationship you both want. We don’t dwell in the past—we focus on building a better future.
What to Expect in Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling sessions provide a supportive space where both partners feel heard. Together, we’ll:
Improve communication skills and listening habits
Learn conflict resolution tools you can use right away
Address unhealthy thought patterns and emotional triggers
Create shared goals for your relationship
Rebuild trust and increase emotional intimacy
Our work integrates CBT, Adlerian Psychology, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and narrative reframing—helping couples rewrite their relationship story in a way that reflects growth, resilience, and clarity.
Intensive, 75 minute sessions.
Choosing a 75-minute intensive couples session—instead of the standard 50 minutes—gives you and your partner the extra time needed to explore deeper issues, practice new communication skills in real time, and achieve more progress during each session.
Why Consider a Longer Session?
Unrushed Conversations
Extended time allows for more meaningful dialogue, giving both partners space to express themselves fully without feeling hurried.Deeper Insight & Reflection
Extra minutes mean you can dig deeper into the root causes of challenges, rather than just addressing surface problems.Real-Time Skill Practice
There’s more room to learn and practice new strategies or exercises together—so you leave with skills you can use at home right away.More Resolution, Less Delay
With additional time, couples often reach greater understanding and resolution in one sitting, reducing the need to revisit the same issue in multiple brief sessions.Greater Emotional Safety
The pace can be slower and more supportive, giving time to process emotions and feel truly heard and validated.
