Psychology Today lists therapists. CouplesFit Today starts with how you want to heal—Gottman, EFT, IBCT, Imago, and more—then connects you to clinicians who specialize in that approach.
Not a diagnosis—just a clearer starting point for couples and the therapists who serve them.

Each modality has a different feel. Knowing the difference helps you ask better questions when you book.
Research-based tools for lasting friendship and conflict repair
Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman from decades of observational research, the Gottman Method helps couples strengthen friendship, manage conflict, and create shared meaning. It is structured, skill-focused, and grounded in what predicts relationship success over time.
Rewiring attachment bonds so partners feel safe reaching for each other
Emotionally Focused Therapy, pioneered by Dr. Sue Johnson, is an attachment-based approach that helps partners identify negative interaction cycles and create new, emotionally honest bonding conversations. The goal is a more secure emotional connection—not just better communication scripts.
Change the thoughts and habits that keep the same fights going
Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy applies CBT principles to relationships. Partners learn to notice the assumptions, expectations, and automatic thoughts that fuel conflict, and replace unhelpful behavior patterns with more positive, deliberate ones.
Build on what already works, in fewer sessions
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, spends less time on the history of problems and more on the future you want. Couples identify times things already go well and do more of what works.
Marriage help grounded in Scripture and shared faith
Biblical Counseling helps couples address conflict, communication, and commitment through the lens of Scripture. It is a natural fit for Christian couples who want their faith at the center of how they work on their marriage.
Acceptance plus change—for differences that won’t fully disappear
IBCT, developed by Andrew Christensen and Neil Jacobson, balances acceptance and change. It helps partners understand emotional sensitivities and patterned interactions, then work on both accepting each other more fully and making targeted behavioral changes.
Conscious dialogue that turns conflict into connection and growth
Imago Relationship Therapy, created by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, views romantic partnership as a path to healing childhood wounds. Couples learn structured dialogue (mirroring, validation, empathy) so conflict becomes a doorway to deeper understanding rather than escalation.
Nervous-system-aware work for secure-functioning partnership
PACT, developed by Dr. Stan Tatkin, integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and arousal regulation. Partners learn to become a two-person psychological system that prioritizes mutual safety, quick repair, and secure-functioning principles in real time.
Clarity when one or both partners are unsure about staying
Discernment Counseling, developed by Bill Doherty, is a short-term process for mixed-agenda couples—when one partner is leaning out and the other leaning in. The goal is clarity and confidence about a direction: stay and commit to couple therapy, move toward separation, or pause the decision with better understanding.
Descriptions respect how MFTs and couple therapists actually practice—not marketing fluff.
