You've probably had the conversation about going to counseling more than once. One of you brings it up, the other isn't sure, and then life gets in the way and nothing happens. Scheduling feels hard. Finding someone you both feel okay about feels harder. And driving somewhere together after a long day can feel like one more thing to argue about.
Olive Branch Family Therapy offers online couples counseling for Texas residents dealing with conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdown, and infidelity recovery. Our team includes Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), all with master's degrees and Texas licensure. Sessions are available via secure video throughout Texas. We are private pay with superbill options, and most new clients are seen within a week.
Distance is the obvious reason. If you're in a part of Texas where qualified couples therapists are hard to find, online removes that barrier entirely.
But for many couples, it's less about location and more about logistics. Separate work schedules, long commutes, kids at home, or one partner who travels frequently can make in-person sessions genuinely difficult to sustain. Video sessions remove the commute, make consistent attendance more realistic, and let you do the work from wherever you actually are.
Whether the work happens over video or in a shared room, the entry point into couples counseling is the same: two people ready to stop repeating the same patterns.
Online sessions follow the same relational, systems-based approach that grounds marriage counseling at Olive Branch Family Therapy, with the same clinical team and the same focus on patterns between partners.
Sessions draw on Family Systems therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). The goal isn't to coach you through better arguments. It's to help you understand the dynamic underneath the arguments, where it came from, and how to build something different.
You'll work with the same therapist each session. Over time, that consistency matters. The therapist gets to know your patterns, not just the surface version of what happened last week.
For couples who feel like they've run out of road, divorce prevention counseling is a specific kind of work, different from general couples therapy, and better suited to the level of rupture some relationships have reached.
Online sessions work just as well for couples who are preparing rather than repairing, and premarital counseling over video is a practical option for engaged couples across Texas who want to start on solid ground.
Olive Branch Family Therapy has served couples since 2011, based in Denton and now available via telehealth throughout Texas. The practice was founded specifically to serve couples, and that focus has shaped how the whole team works.
Jill Davis, Brittany Klabunde, and Wade Bates are among our therapists with EMDR training and experience in trauma-specific settings including crisis centers, shelters, and hospital environments.
Beau Davis, LMFT and CEO, has over 20 years of experience working with couples in conflict and emotional distance, and leads marriage retreats and conferences for churches across the region. Aaron Norton holds a doctorate in MFT and brings over a decade of experience with high-conflict couples, including those on the brink of divorce.
Couples who prefer to meet in person will find that marriage counseling is available at the same practice, with morning, daytime, and evening hours at the Dallas Drive office in Denton.
You fill out a contact form or call the office at 940.483.1789. The receptionist follows up to get you scheduled and answer your questions. If you don't have a specific therapist in mind, she'll help match you based on what you share.
Session rates run $95 to $150. Olive Branch Family Therapy is out of network with insurance, and most major plans don't reimburse for couples counseling because they require an individual psychiatric diagnosis. Superbills are available for clients who want to submit for potential reimbursement on their own.
We accept cash, check, HSA, and all major credit cards. For couples connected to a local church, Olive Branch Family Therapy also works with third-party church payer systems when a congregation wants to help cover the cost of therapy.
Online couples counseling is effective for most couples when both partners show up consistently and honestly. The format is different, but the clinical work is the same. Some couples actually find it easier to be candid over video, and the consistency of being able to attend from home often leads to fewer cancelled sessions.
You can still attend sessions together as long as both partners are physically located in Texas at the time of each session. Each person joins from wherever they are, and the session runs normally.
One partner being uncertain doesn't mean counseling won't help. Ambivalence is common and gets worked with directly in sessions. What matters more is that both people are willing to be honest once they're there.
No. You'll need a device with a camera and a reliable internet connection. After scheduling, you'll receive access to a secure client portal where sessions are conducted. Most couples use a laptop, tablet, or phone.
If you've been waiting for the right time, this is close enough. Most couples wish they'd started sooner. New clients are typically seen within a week. If you're ready to get started, you can reach out to get scheduled for an online or in-person session.
