Couples Counseling Seattle - Talk Without Arguing

Yes — our couples counseling and coaching approach is more hands-on and skills-based than traditional talk therapy. We focus on practical tools, emotional awareness, and communication patterns that create real change between sessions. Everything we do is grounded in the Gottman Method and other evidence-based relationship frameworks.

Yes. You can meet with us through secure online video sessions from anywhere in Seattle, Washington State, or nation wide. Many couples find online counseling more convenient and easier to fit into their busy lives — while still receiving the same level of guidance and support as in-person sessions.

Your first consultation is free. During that call, we’ll assess your needs and create a personalized roadmap for your relationship. Ongoing sessions vary depending on your goals and session length, and we’ll review options before you begin so there are no surprises. You can expect to pay $2500+ for a result-focused couples coaching program.

Marriage counseling telehealth provides access to professional support while staying in the comfort of your own space. Telehealth sessions reduce barriers to consistency and make it easier to continue the work over time, which is often essential for lasting change.

For couples who need flexibility, online couples counseling Washington allows you to access care without commuting or rearranging your entire schedule. Virtual sessions can be just as effective as in-person work, especially when both partners are engaged and supported in a structured process.

Online couples counseling can be a good fit for busy professionals, parents, or couples living outside the Seattle metro area.

Absolutely. We support married, dating, engaged, and LGBTQ+ couples from every background and stage of life. Whether you’re in crisis or simply want to strengthen your connection, we meet you where you are — without judgment or blame.

We understand that taking this step can feel vulnerable, but our work is designed specifically for couples. If you'd like to book a free consultation, both partners need to attend. Real progress happens when both people are present and engaged in the process. If your partner is unsure, we can help you invite them in a way that feels safe and pressure-free so you can both experience what a session is like before committing further.

Many couples begin noticing small changes after the first few sessions — like calmer conversations, clearer communication, and feeling more heard. Real transformation happens over time with consistent effort, but progress begins as soon as both partners feel safe and understood.

You’ll work directly with Luis Congdon or Kamala Congdon, a husband-and-wife team trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Imago Relationship Therapy. With over 17 years of experience helping couples heal, they provide compassionate, evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique dynamic.

We understand that couples come to therapy with very different challenges, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.

At our couples therapy Seattle practice, we tailor the work to your needs through three focused pathways:

🔹 Communication Program
If you and your partner are stuck in the same arguments, feel misunderstood, or struggle to be heard, this program helps you break unhelpful patterns and communicate in ways that actually build connection — not conflict.

🔹 Intimacy Program
Many couples lose emotional and physical closeness over time. This program helps you rediscover connection, learn how to express needs safely, and rebuild the kind of intimacy that makes you feel like a team again.

🔹 Repair Program
When trust has been broken — through betrayal, avoidance, or long-standing hurt — this structured program guides you step by step to repair those wounds and restore safety in your relationship.

During your first consultation, we’ll gently explore where you are now and which program best supports your goals. Together, we create a couples therapy plan that fits your life, your challenges, and what matters most to you.

Coaching and relationship counseling at Lasting Love Connection are private pay services and not billed through insurance. Many couples prefer this approach because it ensures privacy and flexibility without diagnostic labels or restrictions from insurance companies. Also, many insurance companies don't offer couples counseling, but you can call your insurance provider to see if you can find coverage for an insurance-backed couples therapist.

Simply book your free couples consultation to get started. You’ll choose a time that works for you and your partner, meet via phone, and receive a clear plan for your next steps toward rebuilding trust and connection. Or if you need help immediately and are ready to book a session, you can book an emergency relationship counseling session today.

If your relationship feels unstable right now — constant fighting, a recent betrayal, talk of separation, or emotional overwhelm — waiting for a couples consultation to explore how we can help may seem like too long a process.

In situations like this, we offer Emergency Couples Coaching Sessions, designed to provide immediate support when things feel urgent. These sessions focus on stabilizing the situation, slowing the conflict, and helping you communicate clearly during a high-stress moment.

Free consultations are best for couples exploring next steps or longer-term coaching. Emergency sessions are recommended when your relationship feels at a breaking point, and you need support now.
