About couples therapy
Both people, one shared goal
Couples therapy focuses on the relationship itself: how you communicate, handle conflict, make decisions, and stay connected. Sessions are a structured place to slow down hard conversations so both partners feel heard.
Couples come in at every stage, from early in a relationship to many years in, and for reasons big and small.
Who you’ll see: Couples therapy is provided by Mason Anglin, PsyD, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 121211) and Registered Psychological Associate (PSB94029529) at Cogniscribe Psychology.
Dr. Anglin’s couples work may draw on approaches such as the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and cognitive behavioral therapy, tailored to your goals as a couple.

How it works
What to expect from therapy
Screening & benefits check
Start the short screening form. We review it, check your insurance benefits for therapy, and reach out about next steps.
First session
We talk about what brings you in, your history, and your goals, and decide together whether we are a good fit.
Ongoing therapy
Regular sessions in Fair Oaks or by telehealth, with goals revisited along the way so therapy stays useful.
Insurance
Using insurance for therapy
Many plans include behavioral health benefits for therapy. Coverage, copays, and session limits vary, and therapy benefits are checked separately from testing, so we verify your plan before your first session.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who provides couples therapy?
Couples therapy is provided by Mason Anglin, PsyD, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 121211) and Registered Psychological Associate (PSB94029529) at Cogniscribe Psychology.
Does insurance cover couples therapy?
Coverage for couples therapy varies by plan. Some plans cover it in certain situations, and private pay is also available. We check your plan and explain the options first.
Do we both need to attend?
Couples therapy works best with both partners. If one partner isn’t ready, individual therapy may be a good place to start.
Can we do couples therapy by telehealth?
Yes, when both partners are located in California and it is clinically appropriate. In-person sessions are at the Fair Oaks office.
Is couples therapy only for relationships in crisis?
No. Many couples come to strengthen a relationship that is basically good.
Is couples therapy appropriate if there is abuse?
If there is violence or fear of a partner, couples therapy may not be safe. Please tell us in the screening form so we can talk about safer options. In an emergency, dial 911.
