Why Couples Choose Online Therapy
Life is busy — and the couples we work with are often juggling careers, kids, schedules that don’t line up, or commutes that make in-person therapy hard. Online couples therapy removes those barriers without sacrificing depth.
- Same therapist, same depth. Virtual sessions aren’t a watered-down version of therapy — research shows online couples therapy is as effective as in-person for most concerns.
- No commute, no childcare scramble. Sessions from your living room, your office on a lunch break, or even from separate locations if your schedules require it.
- Easier to schedule consistently. Couples who do telehealth are 35% less likely to cancel sessions, which means faster progress.
- HIPAA-compliant, secure platform. Same privacy standards as in-person care.
- Statewide NJ access. Whether you’re in Essex County, the Shore, North Jersey, or South Jersey — you can work with our team.

How Online Couples Therapy Works at Maplewood
1. Free 15-minute consultation
We start with a brief phone call to hear what’s going on, answer your questions, and match you with the clinician on our team who fits best.
2. Initial assessment session
Your first session focuses on understanding your relationship’s history, the patterns showing up now, and what each of you is hoping might change. No assignments, no verdicts — just a thoughtful look at where you are.
3. Evidence-based approach
Each clinician brings their own training — Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment-based, trauma-informed, IFS, mindfulness-based. We tailor the approach to your specific dynamic, not the other way around.
4. Practical work between sessions
You’ll leave most sessions with something concrete to try, talk about, or notice during the week. Therapy isn’t just the 50 minutes — it’s the conversations it makes possible afterward.
Our Team of Licensed NJ Couples Therapists
Every couple deserves a therapist who fits. Our team of six licensed clinicians brings different specialties, styles, and life experiences — so when you reach out, we match you with the right person.
All our clinicians work with couples and offer telehealth statewide. Specialty focus varies — communication, infidelity recovery, discernment, step-families, LGBTQ+ couples, premarital, and more.
Insurance & Fees
We are an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits that reimburse a portion of each session.
We provide a detailed superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance to ask about your specific out-of-network mental health coverage before starting.
Why out-of-network? Working out-of-network lets us offer the kind of focused, personalized couples work insurance panels often don’t support — longer sessions, fewer admin demands, and therapists who chose this practice for the quality of work.
Session fees vary by clinician. The free 15-minute consultation is the easiest way to ask about fees and confirm fit before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Couples Therapy
How does online couples therapy work?
Sessions are conducted through secure HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. You and your partner connect with your therapist from your home, office, or even separate locations. You need a device with a camera, a stable internet connection, and a private space.
Is online couples therapy as effective as in-person?
Yes. Research consistently shows online couples therapy is as effective as in-person for most concerns — communication, trust-building, conflict resolution, intimacy. Many couples actually report that online therapy feels safer because they’re in their own environment.
Can we attend from different locations?
Yes. Online therapy is flexible — partners can join from separate locations if schedules require it. This is especially helpful for couples with conflicting work hours or those in long-distance relationships.
What if one of us is hesitant about therapy?
That’s common — usually one partner reaches out first. Our therapists create a safe space where both feel heard, and we work at a pace that respects the more hesitant partner. The free 15-minute consultation is a low-stakes way to see if it could work.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits that reimburse a portion of each session. We provide a detailed superbill you can submit for reimbursement.
How long does online couples therapy take?
Most couples see meaningful progress within 8–20 sessions, though duration depends on the specific concerns. Some couples come for short-term targeted work; others stay for ongoing relationship support.
Is online therapy secure and private?
Yes. We use secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms. Sessions are not recorded, and your privacy is protected with the same standards as in-person therapy.
Can we combine online and in-person sessions?
Yes. If you’re in NJ, you can combine telehealth with in-person sessions at our Maplewood office at 169 Maplewood Ave #4. Many couples find the hybrid approach works well.
What ages and relationship structures do you work with?
We work with couples of all ages (16+), all relationship structures (married, unmarried, partnered, polyamorous), and all orientations and identities. LGBTQ+, interfaith, intercultural, and second-marriage couples all welcome.
