Virtual Couples Therapy • Connecticut
Couples Therapy for Fairfield Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding Fairfield Couples
Fairfield couples often have one person on Metro-North before the house is awake and home after the kids are in pajamas. The coast and the schools are why you stayed, and the relationship is what gets the tired end of that day.
Finance, healthcare, and technology all show up in these households, and what you share is a week that runs well and a conversation you keep postponing. You want practical help, and you want it private.
Sessions are 90 minutes by video, so the work can happen after the train, from a room in town or in Southport. You need to be physically in Connecticut, or in another state where I am licensed. A Manhattan office is not a place we can meet.
Specialized Services for Fairfield Couples
I only work with couples, and that is the whole practice, so here is where I can help with the relationship in front of you.
General Couples Therapy
You keep having the same argument, and by now you could recite your partner's part, so we look at why you end up there and what each of you contributes.
Learn More →Infidelity Recovery
An affair can leave you questioning more than fidelity, and we address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it.
Learn More →Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Feeling unwanted hurts, and so does feeling pressured or misunderstood, so we make room for an honest conversation about your sexual relationship.
Learn More →Neurodiverse Couples
When autism or ADHD is part of the relationship, advice that ignores that difference can leave both of you more frustrated, and I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist (AANE).
Learn More →Maintenance Therapy
You do not have to wait until you are wondering whether the relationship will survive, because starting while you still like each other is a reasonable decision.

Complete Privacy
There is no waiting room and no chance of running into a neighbor, a colleague, or a friend, because you meet from your own home.
Schedule Flexibility
Evening and weekend appointments are available, and because I keep a small caseload I can usually move a session when something urgent comes up between meetings. If you or your partner are in crisis or unsafe, call or text 988, or call 911.
Expert-Level Care
I only see couples, I have done this work for more than 20 years, and I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Level 3, Relational Life Therapy, and sex therapy.
No Commute
You can skip the drive and log in from home, a hotel room, or any place where you can close the door, as long as you are physically in a state where I am licensed.
The Investment
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if you have questions about HSA, FSA or your plan, and the consultation is 30 minutes and $100, applied toward your first session, and I refund that fee if I am not the right fit.

Couples Therapy for Fairfield County Families and Professionals
The Pressures Fairfield Couples Live With
Fairfield is close enough to Manhattan that a finance commute is common, and far enough that families chose it for the schools and the coast. One partner is on Metro-North by 6:30 in the morning and back after 8 in the evening The other is managing the household and possibly a career. You are building a life together, and you are frequently not in the same room.
Couples therapy for Fairfield couples often starts with a slow drift that has been building for years. By the time you reach out, the disconnection is real, and the way you used to talk is breaking down. How long have you been calling that a scheduling problem?
How Couples Therapy Helps
We look at the cycle you are stuck in: who pursues, who withdraws, and what turns a small comment into the same fight. Emotionally Focused Therapy is how we work with that bond, and you can have a real complaint about the commute, the house, or your partner, and still be contributing to the pattern.
For Fairfield schedules, the 90-minute session matters, and a 50-minute hour often ends before you get to the conversation you have been avoiding. We generally start weekly, so the pattern stays visible while you try something different at home. As those changes hold, we space the sessions out.
EFT and the Gottman Method in Practice
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy as the main framework and Gottman Method Level 3 tools where they help. The work stays with the bond between you, and with concrete practices for conflict and repair. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy.
Fairfield couples usually want to know what we are doing and why. There is a clear framework, and I will tell you what I see in the session, and I will ask what happened at home when you had a chance to respond differently.
Marriage Counseling in Fairfield, CT: What to Expect

If I am not the right fit, I refund that fee.

Virtual Couples Counseling for Couples in Fairfield, CT
If you have been looking for couples therapy in Fairfield, CT, most of what you have found is a drive to an office and a 50-minute appointment. Every regular session here is virtual couples therapy: 90 minutes over secure, HIPAA-compliant video. I am licensed in Connecticut, and I only work with couples.
What virtual couples counseling looks like from Fairfield
Before each session you receive a private link, and you join from a home office in Southport, a quiet room upstairs, or a hotel, as long as you are physically in Connecticut or another state where I am licensed. There is no waiting room and no lobby, and Emotionally Focused Therapy is the framework, with Gottman Method tools where they help, aimed at the cycle you keep getting caught in.
During every session, each of you must be physically located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Rhode Island. With so many Fairfield partners commuting into Manhattan, we schedule around the train. Evening and weekend appointments are available, so you can meet once you are both home.
Couples therapy in Fairfield without the local overlap
Couples therapy in Fairfield can feel risky in a town where school boards, clubs, and commuter platforms overlap. Meeting by video with a therapist who lives outside your community keeps the work private. The first step is a 30-minute consultation at $100, credited toward your first session. If I am not the right fit, I refund that fee.

Common Questions from Fairfield Couples
Do you offer couples therapy for Fairfield, CT residents?
Yes. I am licensed in Connecticut and work with couples in Fairfield and throughout Fairfield County, including Westport, Trumbull, and Bridgeport. Sessions are virtual, so there is no commute and no office to visit. You connect from home on a secure video platform, and you need to be physically in Connecticut during the session.
How does virtual couples therapy work for busy Fairfield commuters?
Most Fairfield couples I work with have at least one partner commuting into the city or traveling for work. Evenings and weekends are available, and I can usually move a session when something urgent comes up. You can join from two different rooms, and each of you still has to be physically in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Rhode Island. A Manhattan office does not qualify.
Do you accept insurance, HSA, or FSA?
The practice is private pay, and if you have questions about HSA, FSA or out-of-network benefits, check with your plan administrator.
What is the difference between couples therapy and marriage counseling?
People use both names for this work, and in this practice, couples therapy and marriage counseling are the same sessions: Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method tools, 90 minutes, couples only. I work with dating couples, newly married couples, long-married couples, and couples who are unsure whether they want to stay. You do not need to pretend you are certain in order to begin.
How much does marriage counseling cost in Fairfield, CT?
Marriage counseling in Fairfield is $750 per 90-minute session, and you begin with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward the first session. If I am not the right fit, I refund that fee. I do not accept insurance, and if you have questions about HSA, FSA or out-of-network benefits, check with your plan administrator. I can give you a superbill, and we generally start weekly, then space sessions out as the work between sessions holds.
What if only one of us is sure about starting marriage counseling?
That is a common start, and it does not disqualify you. I work with couples who are still deciding whether to stay together. The $100 consultation is where both of you can ask questions and hear how the work goes. The fee applies toward the first session if you continue, and I refund it if I am not the right fit.
Can my partner join a session from the office in New York City?
Not from New York, and during every session, each partner needs to be physically located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Rhode Island, the states where I am licensed. If one of you works in Manhattan, we book an evening once you are both home, or a weekend time. Joining from two different places is fine when both of you are in one of those four states.
How do we keep a virtual session private at home with kids in the house?
Most parents I work with choose a time when children are asleep or out of the house, and a room with a door that closes. A white-noise machine outside the door helps. If you are in the same room, join on one shared device rather than two, which avoids audio echo. Evening and weekend appointments make this easier to arrange around a family schedule.

A Therapist From Outside Fairfield
Fairfield is a small world, and I am not in it: I do not live in Fairfield, I am not at your events, and I do not know your friends. We meet on a private video call, and the work stays in that conversation, which for many couples is what makes an honest conversation possible.
