Absolutely. There are several online services that connect couples with licensed therapists for remote relationship counseling, so you can work on communication, trust, recurring conflicts, or rebuilding intimacy from home.
The most important things to look for are licensed couples therapists, video sessions, availability in your state, and transparent pricing. Here are some established options to start with.
1. Talkspace

Yes. Since you’re in the San Jose/Silicon Valley area, I found several California-licensed therapists who specifically work with couples and offer virtual sessions.
Kari DelReal, LMFT stands out if you want a therapist whose practice is heavily centered on couples. She describes her approach as structured and practical and lists Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy among her approaches.
Liliya George, LMFT in San Jose is another strong couples-focused option. She offers telehealth, specializes in relationship/marital issues and infidelity, and has additional training with approaches associated with the Gottmans, Esther Perel, Terry Real, and others.
Katherine Warner, LMFT is particularly convenient if you want telehealth only. Her profile says she specializes in couples therapy and currently has telehealth openings.
Psychology Today therapist directory is useful because you can filter for Couples, Online, location, insurance, and specific issues.
One important point: for California teletherapy, make sure both partners are physically located in a state where the therapist is licensed/authorized to practice at the time of the session. Also verify insurance coverage and whether the therapist is accepting new couples before booking.
If you tell me (1) your insurance, (2) approximate budget per session, and (3) what you're hoping to work on—communication, conflict, intimacy, infidelity, premarital counseling, etc., I can narrow this to 3–5 best matches.

Finding a licensed therapist who offers virtual sessions for couples depends on whether you want to use health insurance , prefer a subscription-based telehealth platform , or want to handpick a local provider through a directory.
Keep in mind that in the U.S., therapists must be licensed in the state where you (the client) are located during the session.
Finding the right licensed relationship or marriage and family therapist (LMFT) over video calls depends on whether you prefer specialized telehealth platforms, directory searches, or using health insurance.
Here are the primary ways and platforms you and your partner can find licensed virtual relationship counselors:

If you and your partner are looking for relationship counseling over video calls, there are several good ways to find a licensed couples therapist who offers virtual sessions. Since you're looking in the St. Petersburg, Florida area, I'd start with Florida-licensed therapists who can provide secure video appointments anywhere in the state.
1. Psychology Today
A large directory where you can filter by couples counseling, online therapy, insurance, cost, and specialties. You can review therapists' credentials and contact them directly.
Best for comparing several local options.

To help me narrow down the best specific options for you, could you share:
2. Open Path Psychotherapy Collective
A useful option if affordability matters. Its directory includes online therapists offering couples sessions. One listed option, Cypress Virtual, advertises video couples counseling for $40–$80 per session; confirm current rates and availability.
Best for lower-cost therapy.
3. Headway
Helps people find therapists and check insurance coverage. Look for clinicians who explicitly accept couples and offer telehealth, since not every therapist or insurance plan covers couples sessions.
These are additional local options worth contacting about video-based couples counseling.

Phone: (727) 800-2663

These are starting points rather than confirmed openings. Contact each practice to verify that a licensed clinician is currently accepting couples for video sessions.
Before booking, I recommend checking these four things:
What matters most to you and your partner: affordable sessions, using insurance, or finding a highly experienced couples specialist?
If you tell me which is your priority, I can narrow the options to a more targeted shortlist.
