Reconnecting with Your Partner. How Relationship Therapy Brings You Back Together
Every romantic relationship goes through stretches where couples feel disconnected, stuck, or drifting apart. At Connect Counseling Co, MICHELE BAILEY, MBA, MA, LMFT offers skilled couples therapy rooted in empathy and real tools. If you're looking to rekindle your bond, hear each other more clearly, or heal recurring patterns, this is for you.
Understanding the disconnect
Often unspoken resentments, communication loops, or past hurts build emotional distance. You might feel trapped in the same argument, looping without resolution. That’s where Michele steps in, using Relational Life Therapy (RLT) techniques that break repetitive patterns and help couples practice new connection strategies. Learn more about Relationship and Couples Therapy.
What therapy looks like with Michele
Michele creates a safe, collaborative space to explore relationship dynamics. She helps partners shift from blaming to curiosity, building empathy and accountability. Based on Terry Real’s RLT model, she guides couples in learning five losing and five winning strategies… for listening deeply, responding calmly, and resolving conflict with integrity. Internally, check out our ‘About’ page to see Michele’s approach in action.
What makes RLT different
Unlike traditional therapy, Relational Life Therapy isn’t just about talk, it’s about creating long-lasting relational skills beyond the therapy room. Participants develop habits around honest expression, respectful boundaries, and re‐connection rituals. These are skills that last far longer than typical talk therapy.
Who benefits most
