Couples Coaching with Lori Weisman

Create the relationship you want in the next chapter of your life.

You’ve worked hard in your lives – careers, family, responsibilities – but your relationship still feels harder than it should. The same arguments repeat, the distance grows, or something painful has shaken your trust.

I’m Lori Weisman, MA, a relationship expert and couples coach, featured in The Wall Street Journal for my work with couples intensives. I help couples move from stuck and reactive to clearer, calmer, and more connected.

Get In Touch

Is This You?

I work with couples who are:



Strong and capable in most areas of life, but struggling in their relationship



Tired of having the same fight over and over



Recovering from betrayal or broken trust



Feeling more like roommates than partners



Navigating big transitions: retirement, empty nest, loss, health changes, or a new chapter together



Wanting not just to ‘fix a problem,’ but to grow as individuals and as a couple

You don’t have to know exactly where you’re headed yet. You just need honesty, willingness, and some courage to try new ways of relating.

What We Work On

In couples counseling, we can focus on:



Conversations that actually land

especially when you’re triggered



Recurring conflict loops

and how to step out of them



Broken trust or affairs

understanding what happened and whether/how to rebuild



Emotional disconnection

rebuilding warmth, closeness, and friendship



Different needs

for sex, closeness, and independence



Decision points

whether to recommit, redefine the relationship, or thoughtfully separate

The goal isn’t perfection; it’s a more honest, mature, and alive connection — whatever form your relationship ultimately takes.

How Coaching Works



Online sessions via secure video

}



Option to explore longer blocks or intensive-style coaching (half-day, full-day, or multi-day) where coaching is permitted

Our Process

1

Clarity

We map where you are now, what hurts, and what each of you is hoping for.

2

Patterns

We identify the specific loops you get caught in and what drives them.

3

New Skills

I guide you in new ways to talk, listen, and stay present when emotions run high.

4

Integration

We track what’s changing and shape what you want your next chapter as a couple to be.

My Approach

My work brings together neuroscience, a developmental view of relationships, and practical tools you can use right away.

&

We look at how each of you has grown (and where you’ve stopped growing) inside the relationship.



You’ll learn simple brain-based tools so you can recognize when your emotional brain has taken over and slow things down.



I focus on differentiation: being honest, listening without collapsing or attacking, and staying grounded in hard conversations.



My style is warm, present, and compassionate, and also direct and active. I won’t just watch you repeat painful patterns.

Alongside my coaching practice, I teach and train other professionals worldwide in deep, intensive work with couples. You benefit from that same depth and clarity.

Important Notes About Coaching

This site describes my coaching services with couples.

Coaching is future-focused and growth-oriented, aimed at patterns, skills, and relationship decisions.
Coaching is not mental health treatment, crisis care, or medical care, and does not involve diagnosis, prescribing medication, or insurance.

If it becomes clear that you need additional or different support, I will encourage you to seek care from a qualified health or mental health professional.
