Couples Therapy Using the Gottman Method in Houston, TX
Navigating a relationship isn’t always easy, and when communication breaks down or trust goes out the window, couples therapy might be a good idea. At Emily Blessinger Counseling, I offer couples therapy for clients in Houston, Texas. My work is informed by the highly respected Gottman Method, which provides tools to help partners strengthen their bond, resolve conflict, and deepen emotional intimacy.
How the Gottman Method Supports Couples
As a Gottman Level 1 couples therapist, I incorporate research-backed techniques from Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s decades of work with thousands of couples. The Gottman Method focuses on building what they call the “Sound Relationship House,” which involves strengthening friendship, managing conflict constructively, and creating shared meaning. I’ve learned advanced interventions beyond what a typical couples therapist might know. In our sessions, you and your partner will learn how to:
- Improve communication and reduce defensiveness
- Understand and de-escalate recurring conflicts
- Repair emotional wounds and rebuild trust
- Foster appreciation, empathy, and emotional closeness
- Navigate life transitions such as parenthood, grief, or career stress
Whether you're facing major relationship challenges or simply want to reconnect and grow together, Gottman-informed therapy offers a structured, supportive path forward.
In-Person and Telehealth Couples Therapy in Houston
Every couple deserves the opportunity to feel heard, supported, and empowered in their relationship. At Emily Blessinger Counseling, I provide in-person couples therapy at my Houston office, along with secure telehealth sessions for couples needing more flexibility. If you and your partner are feeling disconnected or stuck, I assure you that working with a trained couples therapist can make a real difference.
