Online Couples Counseling in Seattle, WA – Marc Zola, LMFT
Does one of you feel constantly criticized, while the other feels shut out by defensiveness or avoidance? You’re not alone. This is actually a surprisingly common symptom that is worsened by
Seattle’s high-pressure, high-speed lifestyle. Unfortunately, its easy for stress and disconnection to take over. But the pattern you’re stuck in isn’t about “bad communication.” It’s about both of you trying—unsuccessfully—to protect the relationship. Online couples counseling with Marc Zola, LMFT helps you understand the pattern you’re stuck in and gives you the tools to change it.
A Focused Approach for Your Seattle Area Couples
If you're a couple in the Seattle area, you know life's demands create specific forms of distress. The challenges you face might not always be the fault of a single event, but rather the result of unresolved patterns. You might be struggling with persistent communication breakdown where one of you feels chronically ignored while the other feels constantly nagged. Perhaps recurring arguments circle the same topics—finances, chores, or parenting—without resolution. You may also be experiencing the slow erosion of closeness, which often manifests as a loss of intimacy or a deep sense of increased resentment. These issues are all signals that expert, focused intervention can help you redirect your partnership quickly.
