Are you feeling stuck in negative communication patterns with your partner? Do the same arguments keep resurfacing, leaving you feeling unheard, disconnected, or emotionally distant? When communication breaks down, even strong relationships can begin to feel overwhelming. I’m Lynn Young, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing online couples therapy and marriage counseling for clients.
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and understanding. I create a safe and supportive space where both partners can feel heard, valued, and understood. Drawing from the Gottman Method, attachment-based therapies, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help couples understand the patterns that contribute to conflict and disconnection. Together, we work to improve communication, build trust, and develop healthier ways of connecting and responding to one another.
From the initial session, I create a safe and supportive space where both partners feel heard, valued, and understood. I help couples understand the patterns that contribute to conflict and disconnection, while supporting them in building trust and emotional attunement.
The way we respond to stress and conflict is often shaped by our early experiences of closeness and safety. These experiences can influence patterns such as criticism, avoidance, or defensiveness. In therapy, we explore these patterns with compassion and develop healthier ways of responding to one another.
Using the Gottman Method, I help couples recognize patterns such as criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling that can create distance over time. Together, we work toward greater understanding, healthier communication, and a stronger, more connected relationship.
