Online Couples Therapy in California

Strengthen Your Relationship. Communicate Better. Feel Connected Again.

You keep having the same argument. One of you pushes to talk while the other shuts down, and neither of you feels heard. Or maybe there is less conflict, but you feel more like roommates than partners. You miss feeling close and want to find your way back to each other.

Online couples therapy can give you a dedicated space to slow things down, understand what is happening between you, and begin building a healthier way of relating to one another.

I am Grace Davis, LCSW. I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I help couples across California understand their patterns, practice clearer communication, and build connection between sessions.

How I Approach Couples Therapy

My work with couples is influenced by the Gottman Method, which focuses on understanding the patterns that strengthen or weaken relationships and helping couples develop practical skills they can use outside of therapy.

Rather than simply deciding who is "right" during an argument, we look at what happens between you as a couple. What triggers conflict? How do each of you respond when you feel hurt, criticized, dismissed, or disconnected? And what can help you respond differently?

Depending on your relationship and goals, our work may focus on:

Improving communication
Breaking repetitive conflict cycles
Learning how to disagree without damaging the relationship
Rebuilding emotional connection and friendship
Increasing affection, appreciation, and intimacy
Understanding each other's needs more clearly
Repairing after arguments
Navigating major life changes or ongoing stress
Rebuilding trust after hurt or betrayal
Strengthening an already healthy relationship

The goal isn't to create a relationship where you never disagree. It's to help you understand one another better, manage conflict more effectively, and create a relationship that feels safer, closer, and more supportive.

Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy

The Gottman Method was developed from decades of research into what distinguishes relationships that thrive from those that become distressed.

One of the things I appreciate about this approach is that it is practical. Therapy isn't only about talking through what went wrong. We also work on specific ways of communicating, responding, repairing, and reconnecting that you can begin practicing in your everyday relationship.

We may explore areas such as your friendship and emotional connection, how you handle conflict, the meaning you assign to recurring disagreements, and the ways each partner experiences the relationship.

Every couple is different, so I tailor our work to the two people sitting in front of me rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.

Christian Couples Therapy

For couples who would like faith to be part of the therapy process, I can incorporate Christian and biblical principles alongside evidence-based couples therapy. As a Christian therapist, I understand that faith can play an important role in how couples think about marriage, commitment, forgiveness, communication, and connection.

The level of faith integration is entirely up to you. Some couples want their Christian beliefs to be a meaningful part of our work, while others prefer to focus primarily on the Gottman-based approach. Biblical principles are incorporated at your request and according to what feels comfortable and helpful for you as a couple.

Couples Therapy From Home

All couples therapy sessions are provided online through secure video sessions.

You don't need to commute to an office, arrange your day around travel time, or live near my physical location. As long as you are located in California at the time of your session, we can meet virtually.

You also have flexibility in how you attend.

Together: If you and your partner are in the same location, you can sit together and join the session using one video link.

From different locations: If work, travel, schedules, or other circumstances mean you can't be in the same place, you can each join the session separately from different locations.

This can make couples therapy much easier to fit into busy lives, particularly when partners have different schedules.

Investment

Couples therapy sessions are $200 per session. Couples therapy is offered on a private-pay basis only. I do not accept or bill insurance for couples therapy. This is separate from my individual therapy services, for which insurance options may be available.

Is Couples Therapy Right for Us?

You don't have to wait until your relationship is in crisis to begin couples therapy. Some couples come to therapy because they are seriously struggling. Others come because they have noticed distance developing and want to address it before it becomes something larger. Some simply want to understand each other better and build a stronger foundation for the future. Wherever you are starting, couples therapy can provide a structured space to understand your relationship more clearly and begin making meaningful changes together.
