What are couples therapists?

Couples therapists are licensed mental health professionals who specialize in helping couples resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their relationships. They use various therapeutic techniques to address issues such as trust, intimacy, and recurring arguments. Couples therapy can be beneficial for partners at any stage of their relationship, whether they are dating, engaged, married, or considering separation. The goal is to foster understanding and provide tools to build a healthier partnership.

Employer & Industry UsageIndividuals planning their own weddingProfessional event planning companies or freelance
Search & Comparison IntentLooking for personal wedding assistanceSeeking professional wedding planning services

Couples are individuals planning their own wedding, often handling all details personally. Wedding planners are professionals hired to organize and coordinate the event. While couples focus on personal involvement, wedding planners bring expertise, vendor contacts, and logistical support to ensure a smooth wedding experience.

What are some common challenges faced by couples therapists, and how can they be managed?

Couples therapists often encounter challenges such as navigating intense emotions, managing conflicts between partners, and maintaining neutrality. It can be demanding to foster effective communication while ensuring both individuals feel heard and respected. To manage these challenges, therapists use evidence-based frameworks, set clear boundaries, and engage in regular supervision or peer consultation to support their practice and personal well-being.

Job description

Counseling Works

Naperville Frankfort Lemont Shorewood, IL

Couples Therapist | Part-time or Full-time


WHO WE ARE

At Counseling Works, we've spent years building something we're genuinely proud of: a group practice rooted in clinical excellence, real collaboration, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. We take care of our clinicians because we know that when you feel supported, your clients do too.


We're growing, and we're looking for a therapist who brings more than just credentials to the table. The right person for this role is comfortable sitting with conflict. You're skilled at helping couples slow down and actually hear each other, and you understand that the relationship itself is your client. Whether you draw from Gottman, EFT, Imago, or attachment-based approaches, you bring a framework to your work and the flexibility to meet each couple where they are.


If you're looking for a practice where your caseload is built for you, the administrative burden is lifted off your plate, and you're surrounded by a team that takes professional growth seriously, we'd love to hear from you.


WHAT YOU'LL GET

Instant caseload: Steady referrals from day one so you're not starting from scratch

Uncapped earnings: No ceiling - see more clients, earn more

No-show protection: You receive your split of any cancellation fees charged, so a client's last-minute cancellation doesn't mean lost income for you

Full admin support: A dedicated medical biller and intake coordinator handle scheduling, insurance verification, claims, and paperwork

Free supervision & consultation: Individual consultation with the Owner/Founder and Clinical Director at no cost; supervision provided if required for licensure

Flexible schedule: Choose your hours with work-life balance as a core organizational value

CEU events & development: Monthly educational events plus professional development support

Marketing support: Psychology Today profile, business cards, and networking opportunities provided from day one

Beautiful workspace: Comfortable, well-decorated private offices across four suburban locations


COMPENSATION

This is a fee-for-service role. Therapists earn a percentage of collected session revenue, commensurate with experience and licensure level.

Master's level / pre-licensed: 40-49% - approximately $50-$61 per session

Fully licensed: 50%+ - approximately $63+ per session


BENEFITS

Health, vision & dental insurance

401(k) with company matching

Life insurance

Paid time off

Paid orientation


THE ROLE

You'll carry a caseload of couples and individuals, with the clinical autonomy to work in the modalities you know best and the support structure to keep administrative work off your plate. You'll:

  • Provide couples and individual therapy sessions
  • Conduct diagnostic assessments and formulate DSM-5 diagnoses
  • Develop, implement, and maintain individualized treatment plans
  • Collaborate with intake, leadership, and care coordination teams
  • Contribute to couples specialty outreach and marketing initiatives
  • Attend monthly CEU events and engage in ongoing professional development

CASELOAD & SCHEDULE

Full-time: ~25 client sessions per week; 30+ scheduled hours

Part-time: 15-20 client sessions per week; 29 or fewer scheduled hours

Evenings: Minimum one evening shift per week required

Weekends: Minimum one weekend shift per week required


REQUIREMENTS

Illinois license required (active or actively in pursuit):

LPC, LCPC, LSW, LCSW, LMFT, AMFT, PsyD, or PhD

Education:

Master's degree required (MEd, MSW, or MA)

Experience:

Minimum 1 year of direct experience counseling couples

Preferred certifications or training:

Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago, or AAMFT certification


YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU...

  • Can hold space for two people with competing perspectives with warmth and without taking sides
  • Bring a clinical framework and the flexibility to meet each couple where they are
  • Want a practice that builds your caseload, handles admin, and invests in your growth

We believe when clinicians thrive, clients do too.
