Online Couples Therapy in Your State

No. United Couples Therapy is online only: every session is a weekly video call, from wherever you each are, and you message your therapist anytime in between.

Instead of an office you get a therapist licensed by your state's board, matched from across your state rather than your zip code, a standing weekly time that fits around work, and no drive or waiting room. If you want to compare, start with a 1-week trial.

Yes. You tell us your state in the questionnaire, and your match holds a license from that state's board, the same as a therapist in an office across town. Sessions happen wherever you are in your state, at home or on the road.

Yes. Research on video couples therapy finds outcomes comparable to meeting in person, and it is the same therapy with the same kind of licensed therapist: licensed by a state board, keeping clinical records, working from a plan. The only difference is where you sit.

You keep the weekly session, by video instead of across a desk, and the practice in between. What you skip is the commute and the waiting room. If you want to compare, start with a 1-week trial.

One live session with your therapist, by video, at a standing time that is yours. Then one short piece of practice they picked for you to try in real life: ten minutes, not an evening.

In between, message your therapist anytime, as often as you like, so a hard week does not have to wait for the next session.

You answer a short questionnaire, a matching specialist reads it and matches you with a licensed therapist from clinicians they know personally, and you have your first session in your first week, by video.

From there you have a standing weekly time, one short piece of practice to try before the next session, and a therapist you can message in between.

Yes, and plenty of people do. Working on the relationship by yourself still changes what happens in it. The plan and the price are the same either way, and if your partner joins later you move to sessions together without starting over.

Yes. Sessions can be together, on your own, or a mix of both, on the same plan at the same price. Some weeks you both want the session; other weeks one of you needs it alone.

Every therapist is licensed by a state board, keeps clinical records and issues superbills. Licensed clinicians, not coaches.

A matching specialist reviews your answers and your state, then matches you with a therapist who fits what you want to change, from clinicians they know personally. If the fit turns out wrong, you switch free.

Your therapist tells you after the first one, so you are not signing up for something open-ended. Most people meet weekly for a few months, then taper off or stop once the pattern has shifted. You are never locked in: cancel anytime in your account.

Yes, at no cost. If the fit turns out wrong, tell us and we move you to another licensed therapist. Your plan and your standing time stay the same.

Start with a 1-week trial: a session and messaging with your therapist. If it is not for you, cancel in your account before the trial ends, and nothing more is charged. If the problem is the fit, you can switch therapists free instead.

After the trial, your plan is billed every 4 weeks until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime in your account: future charges stop and the weeks you already paid for run to the end.

Usually not, and that is true of couples therapy almost everywhere, in an office or online. Health insurance pays to treat a diagnosed condition in one person, and a relationship is not a diagnosis, so to bill insurance a therapist has to diagnose one of you, and that stays on their medical record.

So most couples pay for therapy themselves, which keeps a diagnosis off anyone's record and no insurer deciding how many sessions you get. Every therapist issues superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA and FSA cards work at checkout.
