Our Therapeutic Approaches
At Unload It Therapy, we use evidence-based and culturally attuned approaches to support couples through meaningful change. Our goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered—both individually and as a couple.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):
A highly effective, evidence-based method for improving emotional connection and resolving patterns of conflict in couples. EFT helps partners identify negative cycles, build trust, and create secure emotional bonds.
Culturally Responsive Therapy:
We recognize that identity, race, culture, and lived experience impact how couples relate and communicate. Our therapists are intentional in creating a space that honors BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identities, acknowledging systemic factors that may affect your relationship.
Strength-Based & Client-Centered:
You bring the insight; we provide the tools. Our work focuses on your relationship's strengths while guiding you through challenges in a non-judgmental, collaborative way.
Trauma-Informed Lens:
For couples dealing with past trauma—whether individual or relational—we hold space for healing while maintaining emotional safety for both partners.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Learn how to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping tools.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR):
Process trauma and distressing memories using this powerful, research-backed approach.

FAQs
How can therapy help our relationship?
Therapy provides a neutral, supportive space to explore challenges, rebuild trust, and learn tools to improve communication, intimacy, and connection.
What issues do you help with?
We work with couples facing communication issues, infidelity, life transitions, cultural or identity-based stressors, emotional disconnection, and more.
What can we expect from the first session?
Your first session is about getting to know you as a couple—what brings you in, your goals, and how we can best support you. It’s a collaborative start to building a supportive therapy plan.
Do you accept insurance?
We intentionally operate as a private pay practice to prioritize your privacy, flexibility, and quality of care. This means no diagnoses are required to begin, and your therapy is tailored to your needs—not dictated by insurance limits.
Many clients appreciate the confidentiality and freedom this model allows. We’re happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.
Is online therapy effective?
Absolutely. Many couples find virtual sessions just as impactful and convenient. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions across the state of Texas.
