Couples Counseling &
Marriage Therapy Online
Rebuild connection, improve communication, and heal together. Bilingual telehealth couples therapy for adults in Texas and California — with Marilu Navarro, LMFT.
Every Relationship Has Hard Seasons. You Don't Have to Navigate Them Alone.
Couples counseling isn't just for relationships in crisis. Many couples come to therapy to strengthen what's already good, build better communication habits before they become problems, or work through a specific challenge — a new baby, a career change, a breach of trust — with professional support.
Marilu Navarro, LMFT brings over 11 years of clinical experience to couples work, drawing from Bowen Family Systems Theory, Gottman-informed techniques, CBT, and narrative therapy to help partners understand each other more deeply and build lasting change.
As a bilingual Latina therapist, Marilu is uniquely equipped to work with couples navigating cultural dynamics, family-of-origin patterns, and the specific pressures that Latinx couples often face — including immigration stress, machismo, familismo, and intergenerational expectations.
"We finally feel heard by each other."

What Couples Come to Therapy For
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from couples counseling. These are some of the most common reasons couples reach out.
Communication Breakdown
Conversations that escalate into arguments, or partners who have stopped talking altogether.
Emotional Distance
Feeling like roommates rather than partners — disconnected, lonely, or unseen.
Infidelity & Trust Repair
Rebuilding trust after an affair, emotional infidelity, or a significant betrayal.
Life Transitions
New baby, relocation, job loss, retirement — major changes that strain the relationship.
Cultural & Family Differences
Navigating different family expectations, cultural backgrounds, or religious values.
Premarital Counseling
Building a strong foundation before marriage — aligning on values, finances, and family.
Intimacy Issues
Physical or emotional intimacy that has faded or become a source of conflict.
Parenting Conflicts
Disagreements about parenting styles, discipline, or co-parenting after separation.
Recurring Conflict Cycles
The same argument on repeat — different topic, same outcome. Breaking the pattern.
Marilu's Approach to Couples Work
Emotionally Balanced
Both partners are heard equally. Marilu creates a space where no one feels ganged up on or blamed.
Culturally Responsive
She understands the cultural context many Latinx and multicultural couples bring to the room.
Evidence-Based
Techniques drawn from Gottman Method, CBT, Bowen Family Systems, and narrative therapy.
Bilingual
Sessions available in English, Spanish, or both — whatever feels most natural for your relationship.
Telehealth-First
Secure video sessions from anywhere in Texas or California. No commute, no waiting room.
How Couples Counseling Works
Free 15-Minute Consultation
Both partners join a brief call to share what's going on and ask questions. No commitment required.
Initial Assessment (1–2 Sessions)
Marilu gets to know each partner individually and as a couple — your history, strengths, and the patterns you want to change.
Active Therapy Sessions
Weekly or biweekly 50-minute sessions focused on specific goals. You'll build skills and practice between sessions.
Progress & Transition
As goals are met, sessions may taper. Many couples return for periodic 'tune-ups' as life evolves.
