Couples therapists in Richmond, TX

Start by identifying your goals for couples therapy and the type of support you and your partner are looking for — whether that's help with communication, trust, a major life transition, or something else. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LMFT, LPC, or LCSW) who specializes in couples or marriage counseling. On Headway, you can filter by specialty, insurance plan, and availability, then read detailed provider bios to understand each therapist's approach. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're a good fit before committing.

Yes, many couples therapists on Headway offer virtual sessions in addition to in-person appointments.

When browsing providers on Headway, you can see whether each therapist offers virtual sessions, in-person sessions, or both.

Couples therapists use a range of evidence-based approaches depending on your needs. Common methods include the Gottman Method, which focuses on communication and conflict resolution; Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which centers on emotional connection and attachment; and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which addresses thought and behavior patterns that affect the relationship. Your therapist's bio on Headway will typically describe their approach so you can find a style that resonates with you and your partner.

Yes, it is possible for one partner to begin the process by attending an initial session individually, though most couples therapists will want both partners involved in ongoing sessions.
