Marriage Counseling in Florida
Marriage counseling at Challenges Conquered Counseling serves married couples across Florida through offices in Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville and secure video statewide. Sessions are weekly at first and have a clear job to do. Your counselor keeps the room fair, and both of you are asked to change something.
The roommate problem
There is a version of a marriage where nobody is fighting and nothing is technically wrong, and that is exactly the problem. You coordinate schedules, split the errands and stay polite. Somewhere along the way, you became roommates.
That is one of the most common reasons couples call us, and it responds well to counseling. So do the louder versions: the same argument on repeat, a betrayal, or a slow drift that neither of you can name.
How marriage counseling is structured
Early on, your counselor gets the history: how you met, what worked, when it changed, and what each of you has been carrying quietly. Then you set goals together, and every session has a job to do.
Depending on what you bring, that may mean rebuilding trust after a betrayal, learning to fight without doing damage, getting aligned on money or parenting or in-laws, reconnecting emotionally and physically, or making a clear-eyed decision about the future of the marriage instead of drifting into one.
Both of you change something
That is the deal, and it is why the work holds up. One person cannot carry a marriage alone, no matter how hard they try. Your counselor keeps the room fair, so neither of you spends the hour defending yourself.
Couples usually meet weekly at the start and less often as things steady. Some add a stretch of individual sessions when one partner has something of their own to work through, such as grief or long-running worry. If you are separating and still raising children together, our co-parenting coaching sessions can help you settle on one steady routine for the kids.
Where to meet, anywhere in Florida
You can meet at 800 E Cypress Creek Rd, Suite 431 in Fort Lauderdale or at 10163 Fortune Pkwy G40 in Jacksonville. Secure video is available statewide, which solves two of the most common scheduling problems: childcare, and one spouse traveling for work.

Why couples across Florida choose video
Florida is a big state and many couples do not live where they work. One spouse may be on the road for days, another may care for a parent in a different city, and a weekly office visit can quietly fall off the calendar. Secure video keeps the weekly rhythm going when the schedule will not.
It also means you can keep seeing the same counselor if you move between regions. You can mix office and video visits, and you do not need to explain a change in plans in advance beyond letting the office know.
Cost and getting started
We accept many major insurance plans. Coverage for marriage counseling varies, so we check your specific plan and tell you what to expect before you commit to anything.
If you have been telling yourself you will deal with it when things calm down, this is your reminder that they usually do not calm down by themselves. Call (954) 600-9403 or request an appointment and we will get you both on the schedule.
Frequently asked questions
How often will we meet?
Most couples meet weekly at the start, then less often as things steady. Your counselor will suggest a rhythm based on what you are working on. Secure video can make a weekly schedule easier when work or childcare gets in the way.
What if only one of us wants to come?
Say so on the first call. One partner can start, and the other can join when ready. Many couples begin this way. Counseling works best when both partners take part, so your counselor will talk with you about how to invite your spouse in.
Can we do marriage counseling entirely by video?
Yes. Secure video is available statewide, and many Florida couples use it from home. Spouses in different places can join the same session from separate screens, which helps when one of you travels for work or when childcare is hard to arrange for an evening.
What if we are not sure we want to stay married?
That is a legitimate reason to start. Counseling can help you make a clear decision about the future of the marriage rather than drifting into one. We do not promise an outcome, and we do not push you toward staying or leaving.
Does insurance cover marriage counseling?
We accept many major insurance plans, though coverage for marriage counseling varies. Call (954) 600-9403 and we will check your specific plan and explain what to expect before you commit to anything. There is no obligation in asking, and you can compare options before you book.
