Relationship Issues
The Internet makes it easier than ever to meet somebody. But, those “perfect matches” aren’t always what they seem. And even if you find the right person, there will still be conflicts and mismatches you might need help working through. To help you find “the one” or navigate problems in your existing relationship, reach out to Mike Ames, a relationship coach and an expert in helping people with modern relationships.
Finding the One
If you’re almost ready to give up on dating, know that there is hope. Michael can help you better understand what you’re looking for in a relationship, what you need, and how to go about finding it. Part of your therapy will include learning dating tips that will help you find that perfect somebody. Moreover, part of finding that somebody special may be finding your confidence and learning to exude it.
Learning to Set Boundaries
In relationships, you need a certain ebb and flow, give and take, for it to function. Sometimes, you may be the one giving more than you receive, which might cause you to start feeling resentful. If it’s the other way around, you may feel guilty. Part of your therapy or coaching, whether you visit the Culver City office or attend a virtual appointment, will include understanding what you want and learning to establish boundaries in an effective manner.
Dealing with Relationship Issues in a Partnership
Sometimes, as a couple, you may experience a breakdown in communication, causing you to become distant or to get stuck in conflicts that never reach a resolution. Through relationship therapy or coaching with Michael, you can learn what unaddressed need is beneath the tension, express it, and be open to hearing your partner’s expression of their underlying needs, in turn. You can also learn to make affection a habit, maintaining your closeness as part of your daily routine.
Sometimes, if an individual is battling with anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue, that can also create complications in their relationship. In these cases, it’s important that both of you get help to understand the issue better and develop strategies for getting what you need to feel safe and supported.
Mike Ames, providing therapy in Culver City and to California online, and coaching to the entire country, is available to help with relationship issues. Besides his formal training, he has dealt with a number of challenges throughout the years with dating and uses his experience to help others. Relationship coaching is goal-oriented and customized to your situation.

Relationship Coaching Online for Real-Life Relationship Issues | Mike Ames
Most couples wait over six years before seeking help for ongoing problems. That’s a long time to carry the same arguments, misunderstandings, and silent tension. If things feel stuck, it doesn’t always mean the relationship is broken. Sometimes, it means both people haven’t had the tools or space to address things differently.
As an online relationship coach, I work with individuals and couples to understand the root of what’s going wrong—and how to change it.
What Common Relationship Issues Often Look Like
You might feel unheard, unappreciated, or unsure of where the relationship is going. Maybe there’s conflict around trust, intimacy, or daily communication. These aren’t uncommon. In fact, common relationship issues affect even the strongest couples. What matters is how you deal with them.
From my experience providing relationship coaching online, here are some of the most frequent patterns I help people with:
- Repeating arguments that never truly get resolved
- One partner shutting down or avoiding tough conversations
- Disagreements around goals, values, or expectations
- Lack of connection or reduced intimacy
- Jealousy, resentment, or broken trust
Each situation is unique, but these patterns can often be worked through with honest communication and the right support.
Why These Issues Don’t Go Away on Their Own
Avoiding problems rarely leads to improvement. People often hope things will settle down with time, but instead, tension usually builds. Misunderstandings turn into assumptions. Unspoken needs become resentment.
Through relationship coaching online, I help you slow things down and take a closer look at what’s really going on. When people understand their patterns, they can finally change them. This isn’t about blaming one person. It’s about helping each of you understand your part and build better ways to respond.
Support for Individuals and Couples
While many think of couples coaching as the only option, individuals often seek support too. As a relationship coach for singles, I regularly work with people navigating dating, attachment, and clarity around their needs.
You don’t need to be in a crisis or a couple to benefit. If you’re stuck in repeated patterns or want help sorting out emotional confusion, working with an online relationship coach in Los Angeles or anywhere in the U.S. can make a real difference.
How I Work as Your Coach
As both a therapist and relationship coach online, I combine structured tools with real conversations. You’ll always leave a session with more than just emotional insight—you’ll have a better understanding of what to try next.
Clients often appreciate my direct, calm approach. I don’t give long lectures or abstract advice. My role is to ask the questions that help you think differently and speak honestly.
Because I offer relationship coaching online in California, throughout the United States, and locally as a relationship coach in Los Angeles, our work can be flexible around your location or schedule.
What Makes My Coaching Effective
Not every coaching approach works for every couple. But many people I work with value:
- Realistic, clear strategies for better conversations
- Help identifying emotional blind spots
- Tools to rebuild trust and reconnect
- Honest feedback that doesn’t feel judgmental
- Practical steps to reduce arguments and defensiveness
If you’re searching for relationship coaches online who offer straightforward guidance, I focus on results—not lectures.
Moving Forward Starts With a Conversation
Whatever you’re facing—common couple problems, commitment fears, or feeling emotionally disconnected—there are tools to help. It starts with talking to someone who knows what to listen for.
Whether you’re in Los Angeles or across the country, I provide online relationship coaching designed to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
If you’re ready to improve communication, build trust, or simply get clear on what’s next, I invite you to reach out. You don’t need to handle it alone.
