Couples Counseling Southlake, Texas

Couples counseling is a supportive therapeutic process designed to help partners strengthen their relationships, improve communication and communication skills, and resolve conflicts. Whether facing specific challenges or seeking to enhance their emotional connection, couples counseling provides a safe space for open dialogue and mutual understanding. A healthy relationship doesn't happen by accident our couples therapists are here to help.

key Components

Safe Environment​

Counseling sessions create a confidential and non-judgmental space where both partners can express their feelings, thoughts, and concerns openly. This environment fosters trust, creates a strong foundation and encourages honest communication.

Efficient Communication

Counselors guide couples in developing healthy communication patterns. By learning to listen actively and express themselves constructively, partners can navigate difficult conversations more effectively. Communication skills are learned and we are here to help.

Conflict Management

Couples counseling equips partners with tools to address and resolve conflicts. Marriage counseling is designed to help couples navigate challenges in a healthy way. Counselors help identify underlying issues, enabling couples to tackle problems collaboratively rather than defensively.

Exploration of Patterns

Partners are encouraged to explore recurring patterns in their relationship. Understanding these dynamics helps couples recognize how past experiences influence their current interactions and decision-making.

Emotional Connection

Counseling focuses on enhancing emotional intimacy by helping couples reconnect and strengthen their bond. This may involve exploring shared values, dreams, and goals, as well as learning to express affection and appreciation for one another.

Individual Growth

Couples counseling acknowledges the importance of individual growth and mental health needs within a relationship. Counselors support partners in understanding their experiences and personal needs like help with low self esteem or trust concerns. We promote self-awareness and personal development.

Engaging in couples or marriage counseling can lead to improved relationship satisfaction, greater emotional intimacy, and enhanced problem-solving skills.

Couples often emerge from counseling with a deeper understanding of each other, renewed commitment to their relationship, and practical tools to navigate future challenges.

Ultimately, couples counseling empowers partners to foster a healthier, more fulfilling relationship based on mutual respect, understanding, and love.

frequently Asked Questions

How much does couples therapy cost in Texas?

The cost of couples therapy in Texas varies based on the therapist’s experience, location, and session length. On average, sessions range from $75 to $250 per hour. Some licensed professional counselors offer sliding-scale fees based on financial need.

We also offer specifically marriage counseling and premarital counseling/couaching (here) in our clinic. Mental health improvements doesn't have to just be limited to a type of person or situation we want to help everyone feel better.

What percentage of couples survive couples therapy?

Success rates depend on the level of commitment and the therapeutic approach used. Research shows that approximately 70% to 75% of couples who participate in emotionally focused therapy experience meaningful improvements in their relationship. While the term “emotionally focused” aligns with common therapeutic language and search terms, the work we do at Crawford Clinics often goes beyond that—helping clients restore deeper aspects of connection and self-cohesion called Restoring-Self-Cohesion. Seeking support early often leads to even more successful outcomes.

Many couples find lasting growth and deeper connection through marriage counseling, where they learn to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond. Whether you’re preparing for the future with premarital counseling, seeking faith-based guidance through Christian counseling, or looking for flexible options like online counseling, the goal is always to build a stronger, healthier partnership. At Crawford Clinics we believe every couple deserves the tools to thrive—fostering trust, respect, and long-term success in their relationship.

We offer both Christian counseling and premarital coaching for couples and individuals.

What kind of therapy is best for couples?

The best type of therapy depends on each couple’s unique needs and challenges. Emotionally focused therapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches, helping partners strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and navigate conflict. For others, relationship counseling or marriage counseling may be more appropriate—especially when addressing long-standing patterns or transitions such as parenthood, relocation, or other major life transitions.

In some cases, family therapy may also be recommended, particularly when children or extended family dynamics are contributing to the couple’s stress. No matter the format, addressing relationship issues in a safe and supportive environment with a licensed therapist allows couples to explore deeper concerns, rebuild trust, and reconnect in a meaningful way.

Marriage counseling specifically targets marriage dynamics and can be a great tool for couples that are struggling with communication issues, trauma or other issues. Many couples find that one partner needs one thing and the other partner needs something else, and our sessions are designed not only to help both partners but it allows them to see each other grow and work together. We work to enhance your communication and improve your overall well being.

What is the difference between couples therapy, couples counseling, and couples coaching?

While couples therapy and couples counseling are often used interchangeably, therapy typically addresses deeper and more entrenched relationship dynamics and past trauma that requires a more advanced approach. Couples therapy is a great choice when other counseling efforts have not worked and a more advanced level of training and expertise is required to resolve unconscious dynamics. This is also the right fit when one of the partners might be struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, past trauma, sexual and or health struggles.

Couples counseling focuses more on present relationship challenges and coping skills for immediate concerns to help a couple develop an emotionally enriching reciprocal relationship when there are no significant co-occurring struggles.

Couples Coaching is a coaching model in which the coach helps the couple build skills, understand personality differences, navigate common couples hurdles to creating a enjoying a thriving relationship with clear vision and strategies to plan for the future.

Can counseling services address self-esteem issues in relationships?

Yes, counseling services often help individuals struggling with self-esteem issues that affect their relationships. By addressing personal confidence and emotional well-being, therapy can lead to stronger, more fulfilling connections.

The therapy process varies for each couple. Most couples benefit from weekly sessions, while others may attend biweekly or monthly. The frequency depends on the complexity of the issues and the goals of the therapy or coaching. Couples in Southlake Texas and Keller TX may find that attending therapy regularly with professionals such as Crawford Clinics Counseling can help them overcome challenges and build a deeper emotional connection in a safe and supportive environment.
