Online Couples Therapy in Ohio

“He doesn’t hear me” “She doesn’t respect me” “I don’t feel emotionally connected” “It’s not worth bringing up my needs” “They never open up to me anymore”

If you’ve found yourself thinking or saying these things know that you’re not alone. Whether you’ve felt this way since the start of the relationship or whether its just started 10 years in, these are common struggles that come up in couples therapy. The good news? If you and your partner are invested in getting back to a healthy and happy place in your relationship, I can help.

1. Communication Breakdown: Partners may feel misunderstood or unheard, leading to frustration and unresolved conflicts. Miscommunication can escalate small issues into major arguments.

2. Emotional Disconnect: A sense of emotional distance can develop over time, making it difficult for partners to connect on a deeper level. This can lead to feelings of loneliness or unfulfillment.

3. Trust Issues: Past betrayals or insecurities can create a lack of trust, causing partners to question each other’s intentions and feelings. This can result in jealousy and anxiety.

4. Unmet Needs: One or both partners may feel that their emotional, physical, or practical needs are not being met, leading to resentment and dissatisfaction in the relationship.

5. Different Life Goals: When partners have diverging visions for the future—such as career ambitions, family planning, or lifestyle choices—it can create tension and uncertainty about the relationship's viability.

About Sharon Shaver, Independent Marriage and Family Therpist

As a couples therapist I’ve loved being part of a couples journey from disconnection to secure and safe connection. I find that 99% of the time, people truly love each other and want to things work. Unfortunately, these same couples often lack the tools and insight to allow them to move towards healing on their own. This is where I can help.
