What to Expect in Online Couples Therapy

Written By Alejandro Daniel Pina, LMFT, MS

What to talk about in couples therapy? How to prepare? What not to say? I can’t imagine how nerve-wrecking going into session can be. It’s hard enough to talk about our feelings to a therapist in private, it makes sense it would feel harder with our partner listening.

How to prepare what to say in couples therapy? You can’t. If you knew how to get the support you need from your partner, you would’ve said it by now. Just express yourself as you normally do.

An Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist will help you discover a deeper understanding of your experience, then help you express yourself to your partner more productively. We might feel we have our partner figured out, but we have to be open to figuring ourselves out.

I’ve been working successfully as a couples therapist for years, I’ve probably seen it all.  I'm Alejandro Daniel Pina, LMFT a California Board of Behavioral Sciences licensed and EFT-Trained Couples Therapist.  Book a free call with your partner:
