Virtual Couples Therapy • Rhode Island
Couples Therapy for Newport Residents
Expert relationship therapy from the privacy of your home
Understanding Newport Couples
Newport carries the legacy of America's Gilded Age—a town where appearance and social standing have always mattered. Today's Newport couples include established families, successful professionals, and accomplished newcomers.
Newport attracts professionals in finance, healthcare, and sailing/marine industries, alongside those drawn to its historic elegance. They expect discretion and sophistication in all aspects of life, including therapy.
In Newport's social environment, privacy is paramount. Virtual therapy provides expert care without the exposure of local treatment.

Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy for Newport, Rhode Island Couples
Marriage Counseling for Newport Couples, Entirely Online
Marriage counseling for Newport couples is available here as fully virtual, specialist couples work. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in Rhode Island, and my entire practice is couples — not individuals, not families, not couples as a sideline. Sessions run 90 minutes over a private video call, at a fee of $750 per session, and there is no office to walk into.
Newport is a small place where a great deal is visible. Couples here often tell me the hardest part of getting help was not the decision to get it, it was the prospect of a car parked outside a local practice on a street where someone would recognise it. Virtual sessions remove that problem entirely. You meet from home, from an office with the door closed, or from wherever you are that week, and the work stays where it happens.
Why 90 Minutes, and What the Work Actually Does
A 90-minute session is the format because 50 minutes is not long enough for two people. A standard hour tends to end at the point where the real conversation has finally opened up. Ninety minutes gets past the recap of the week and into the pattern underneath it, and the longer, less frequent rhythm fits demanding professional schedules better than a weekly appointment that keeps getting moved.
The method is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as the primary framework, with Gottman Method tools integrated where they help, drawn from more than 20 years working exclusively with couples. That work is not a set of communication tips. It goes to the emotional cycle driving the same argument — who presses, who withdraws, and what keeps the conversation stalling in the same place every time.
Common Questions from Newport Couples
Do you offer marriage counseling in Newport, RI?
Yes. I provide virtual marriage counseling and couples therapy for Newport, Rhode Island couples. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in Rhode Island, and my practice is exclusively couples work using Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. Every session is a 90-minute private video call at $750 per session. There is no office location — the practice is virtual, which is what makes it private.
Is online couples therapy as effective as meeting in person?
For couples work, yes. The two people who need to be in the room are already in the room together, which is the part that matters. What a video call adds is that neither of you loses an evening to travel, scheduling gets easier for two demanding calendars, and in a community as connected as Newport nobody sees you arrive. Sessions run the full 90 minutes over a private video call, using the same Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method work I would do face to face.
Can we have sessions from Middletown, Portsmouth, or Jamestown?
Yes. Because every session is virtual, location within Rhode Island makes no difference — I work with couples in Middletown, Portsmouth, Jamestown, Bristol, and throughout the state, as well as in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, where I am also licensed. What matters is that you are physically in a state where I hold a license at the time of the session. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
