Couples Counseling in Cape Girardeau, MO

Great Oak Counseling specializes in couples counseling, therapy techniques, and relationship-building exercises. Our team of Licensed Professional Counselors is highly trained in helping individuals and couples work through emotional struggles, communication breakdowns, and life stressors. We offer services for a wide range of needs, including marriage concerns, depression, anxiety, pornography and sex addiction, anger, and substance abuse.

Support for Couples at Every Stage

Whether you’re newly married or have been together for decades, couples therapy can help. Our counselors hold advanced certifications in trauma, PTSD, infidelity recovery, and adolescent counseling. We understand how relationship struggles can affect every part of life—and we’re here to help you rebuild connection and trust.

What Is the Hold Me Tight® Couples Workshop?

In addition to traditional counseling, we offer the Hold Me Tight® Couples Workshop. This program is based on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, and is designed to help couples reconnect and strengthen their emotional bond.

The Hold Me Tight® Workshop is ideal for couples who love each other but struggle to stay emotionally close. The workshop is fun, engaging, and backed by research. About 70–75% of couples who engage in EFT move from distress to recovery. Nearly 90% experience improvement in relationship satisfaction.

What to Expect in the Workshop

Our couples workshop is interactive and designed to be safe and welcoming. You and your partner will:

• Learn how emotional connection works
• Watch real couples model important conversations
• Practice new communication skills in private exercises
• Gain tools you can use long after the workshop ends

This weekend program uses a combination of lectures, video, and guided conversations. Space is limited to 15 couples, so early registration is encouraged.
