5 simple ways to stay connected (or reconnect) with your spouse even if you have no extra time in your day
You’re a busy bee. Between work, taking care of the kids, managing a household and planning for your goals and dreams, you barely have a second to yourself- let alone hours and hours to spend with your spouse. These are some of the simple tips that I give to my couples who are in marriage or couples counseling.
You’re a busy bee. Between work, taking care of the kids, managing a household and planning for your goals and dreams, you barely have a second to yourself- let alone hours and hours to spend with your spouse.
You’ve heard that quality time is important to keep things fresh in your marriage, but where are you supposed to find all this time?
That’s why I’m here. Here are 5 simple ways to stay connected to (or reconnect with) your spouse even if you have no extra time in your day. These are some of the simple tips that I give to my couples who are in marriage or couples counseling.
1) Give your spouse a hearty goodbye whenever you’re leaving the house
When you and your husband or wife are leaving the house for work, for vacation or just to run errands, don’t just run out the door like strangers, create a leaving ritual that’s unique to the both of you.
It could be something as simple as a goodbye kiss, it could be a hug, or it could be a simple “See you later!” It doesn't have to be complicated, but it’s a kind way to let your spouse know that you see them. Never run out of the house without letting your spouse know.
2) Warm greeting when you return home
In marriage counseling, I find that many couples stop greeting each other warmly. This leads to the slow death of a friendship and the waning of intimacy between them.
When you get back home after a long day, say something sweet to your spouse. Give them a smile, a wink, a hug or just say “Hey!” try to do it with a smile on your face. That communicates trust and warmth.
3) Have regular quality mealtimes
Many married couples and families have strayed away from family meals together. I get it, schedules are busy. You don’t necessarily have to eat meals together every single day, but carve out at least 1 meal a week where you get to just eat and talk.
What’s a quality meal time? It’s not about what’s on the menu, but it’s about being attuned to your spouse. Put the phones and devices away and just talk.
These meals don’t have to be formal. You don’t even have to sit at a dining table or have place setting. It doesn’t matter if you cook an elaborate meal, order a meal service or eat a frozen dinner- as long as you are both together.
4) Make bedtimes special
Bedtime can become so mundane. You both plop into the bed and drift off to sleep like exhausted puppies. In many cases, one partner is a morning bird, while the other is a night owl- making bedtimes a source of constant argument in your marriage.
What if you actually set specific times each week where you get to spend an extra 30 minutes together?
At the beginning of the week, look at both your calendars and decide what days and times you’ll both be able to meet this week. Decide what activities you’ll engage in. Some couples watch a weekly show together, some tea a book together, some just talk.
I tell all of my couples to download the Gottman card decks app. It’s a free app that has tons of ideas of conversation starters for you and your spouse. Make your conversations a lot more meaningful.
5) Have regular stress reducing conversations
Stress is one of the biggest reasons why couples seek marriage counseling in my Murrieta office. You and your partner both have so much sitting on your shoulders, and you’re not sure who to turn to.
Make a regular ritual out of talking about your days. If you are in the habit of going on and on about work- to the anger of your spouse- set a timer.
Give each partner 20 minutes to talk about the ups and downs of your day. For the listening partner, your job is to validate and support- not to complain or correct your spouse.
This creates a sense of unity and intimacy. If your partner is carrying the whole world on his or her shoulders, it’ll definitely affect the quality of your relationship. So try this.

My name is Ibinye Osibodu-Onyali. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I help women who are struggling with anxiety and insomnia.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
I also help couples learn how to speak each other’s language, date each other again and manage conflict in a non-painful way.
Many of my clients are:
How to prepare for your first marriage counseling session
You and your partner have been struggling for a while. You’ve tried to patch things up, but to no avail. It seems like you’re arguing every other day. And you can’t stand it anymore.
You decided to contact a marriage counselor, after all you’ve heard that couples counseling can really improve your relationship.
Before you attend your first couples therapy or marriage counseling session, here’s what you should know:

Before you attend your first couples therapy or marriage counseling session, here’s what you should know:
Start with a great mindset before you begin couples therapy or couples counseling
Sometimes, when couples come to see me in my marriage counseling office in Murrieta, they are usually expecting their marriage counselor (me) to do all the work. The truth is that your couples therapist is simply a guide. He or she gives you the tools you need and it is the job of you and your spouse to implement the skills.
Simply listening attentively when you are in relationship counseling is not enough. You need to actually implement what you’re being taught. So step one of being successful in couples therapy, is to have a learning mindset.
Be ready to try new things- no matter how scary it might be. if you start therapy believing it will fail, your sessions will probably fail. But if you go in with a positive and proactive mindset, you’re setting yourself and your marriage up for success.
Identify your marriage counseling goals
To make the process a lot smoother, it’s important that your relationship counselor or marriage counselor knows what you and your spouse are expecting to gain from couples therapy.
Spend some time thinking about this before your first session. A simple way to pinpoint your marriage counseling goals, is to close your eyes, fast forward to 6 months from now and imagine what you want your day to day life to look like.
Where will you live?
Where will both you and your spouse sleep?
What will your daily interactions with your spouse look like?
How will you feel when your partner walks into the room?
How will you both manage conflicts?
How will your communication with your spouse change?
Who will notice these changes?
Let your couples therapist know this so that everyone is on the same page.
Get a couples therapy or marriage counseling notebook
This isn’t mandatory, but when you’re in couples therapy or couples counseling, it’s important to have a system to document what you’re learning. A lot of difficult emotions will be stirred up in your couples counseling sessions.
Your notebook is a great place to journal about your feelings after sessions, and also a great place to store any homework your therapist gives you. That way you will be staying present and you won’t let anything fall through the cracks.
Your couples therapy notebook is also a place to celebrate wins, practice communication skills and to jot down any big issues that come up for you in between couples counseling sessions. That’ll make your sessions be a lot more productive.
These are some simple ways to get yourself ready for your first marriage counseling or relationship counseling session.

What is online therapy really like?
Technology can be a beautiful thing. Especially lately with social distancing and the pandemic going on. Can you imagine how horrific our lives would be if we couldn’t FaceTime our loved ones or hear their voices over the phone?
Or if the kids had to be completely out of school due to a lack of technology? But teachers everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief because Zoom and Google Meet keeps them connected to their students.
Technology can be a beautiful thing. Especially while the pandemic was in full swing. Can you imagine how horrific our lives would be if we couldn’t FaceTime our loved ones or hear their voices over the phone?
Or if the kids had to be completely out of school due to a lack of technology? But teachers everywhere were able to breathe a sigh of relief because Zoom and Google Meet kept them connected to their students.
And I am certainly happy to be a therapist in this day and age. Because it means that my clients can still continue to work on their anxiety and insomnia.
Did you know that many therapists provide online counseling? Actually I can legally provide online therapy to clients throughout California. So that way, I can keep helping you reduce anxiety, finally get rid of insomnia and work through your marital problems in marriage counseling- without leaving the comfort of your home.
Before we talk about whaat online therapy is like, let’s first talk about what you need before starting online counseling.
Tools you need to begin online therapy counseling in California.
First of all, let’s talk about what you need in order to be ready for online therapy.
1) A quiet location: I highly suggest that you are alone and distraction free when you meet with your therapist online. Shut down other devices, put head phones on if you need to and utilize this time as you normally would if you were at your therapist’s office.
2) A strong internet connection: Online therapy works best if you have a strong internet connection. That way you can see and hear your therapist clearly, and your session isn’t interrupted.
3) A device that can connect to the internet: This goes without saying. You’ll need a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop that is connected to the internet.
4) Something to prop up your device: If you’re using a tablet or a phone, I highly suggest that you prop up your device to keep it still. This will save your arm during your session and also keep the video still so that your therapist doesn’t have to stare at shaky video for almost an hour.
What is online therapy like?
Online therapy is quite similar to in person therapy. The major difference is that you are not able to come into my counseling office in Murrieta. It feels similar to a Skype or FaceTime call. You can see and hear me through your computer or phone. And I can also see and hear you.
However, I do not use Skype or FaceTime. I prefer to use Doxy.me, which is a secure online platform created specifically for health providers.
Your online security and confidentiality are important to me.
The process I use for online therapy is also very easy. You can connect with me in 3 simple steps:
1) Step 1: You type or click my confidential Doxy link. I use the same link every time.
2) Step 2: Enter your name so that I know it’s you.
3) Step 3: Wait until I add you and we begin our session.
It’s truly that easy.
During our online therapy session you can talk like you normally would, I sound the same as I always do. I use the same tools and skills that I do in person.
Some people think that online therapy is a watered down version of in person therapy. But that’s not true. You gain just as much from online therapy as you would if you saw me in person.
The only difference is that you don’t get to soak in the ambience of my Murrieta counseling office. I sometimes tell clients to get a glass of water, put on sounds of nature and also diffuse their favorite oils during an online session. This way your therapy hour becomes a wholistic experience.
Some times people ask if online therapy is just as effective as in person therapy. I certainly think so, as I use the same skills and knowledge online and I would in person. let’s put it like this. With online therapy, you don’t have to get all dressed up if you don’t want to, you can work on yourself from the comfort of your home or office. No need to navigate through traffic or spend extra time getting ready.
Some people absolutely love the convenience of online sessions, while others prefer in person sessions. I typically use my professional judgement to only see clients whom I believe online sessions will benefit. If I don’t think you’ll be a great candidate for online therapy or counseling, then I will definitely let you know.

5 Simple ways to gain control of anxiety and fear
COVID-19 and your marriage: How to navigate working from home with your spouse
Working from home can be a challenge if you have never done it before. Working from home is a double challenge when you and your spouse are doing it together.
But the great thing is that if you are intentional about it, it could work great for the both of you. Here are 5 simple tips to help you and your spouse survive working from home together.
Working from home can be a challenge if you have never done it before. Working from home is a double challenge when you and your spouse are doing it together.
But the great thing is that if you are intentional about it, it could work great for the both of you. Here are 5 simple tips to help you and your spouse survive working from home together.
1) Have a plan for the day
If you and your spouse are to have a peaceful home while working at home simultaneously, it’s important to plan out your day in a way that will work well for the entire family. If you have school aged kids, chances are you are now homeschool parents. Have a conversation about how to split the kids’ work. Sync your schedules so that each of you knows who is in charge of which tasks around the home. If you want to be really organized, you can actually create a Trello board or a written out plan of what your schedules should be.
Talk about who is in charge of meals, cleaning, when both of you will be taking breaks, where each of you will be working within the house, and of course, who will be helping the kids out with their school work. Without an actual plan, I can assure you that the transition to working from home will be quite chaotic. Split up chores so that the house still remains organized while you are working.
I highly suggest trying to have meal times together if possible. The beauty of having the family home is that you all get to really bond and enjoy one another. It’s such a luxury in this fast paced society.
2) Check on your spouse during the workday
If you and your spouse are working from different areas of the home, check up on him or her during the work day. You can send a text or even just pop your head in to say “Hello.” It might sound corny or weird, but everyone likes to be checked on. It shows a whole lot of care and it helps you both strengthen your friendship.
3) Respect each other’s work boundaries
If you and your spouse do not usually work together, working from home could be a challenge. Talk about each other’s ideal work space. Some people like an immaculate and organized space, while others can thrive in an office that looks like it has been hit like a hurricane.
If you are not so organized, but your partner thrives in a tidy environment, respect that. Perhaps you could work together to create a welcoming home office environment so that both of you feel comfortable.
If you thrive with loud music and your spouse likes to work in silence, simply pop in some head phones. Although both of you might be different in the way that you work, you both have a common goal- to get some work done.
Remember that although you both might be home all day, you should remember that both of you have to be productive.
4) Give your spouse some space
Working from home together does not mean that you both have to be around each other 24/7. If one of you is highly sensitive or introverted, chances are you value alone time. Explain that to your spouse in a kind, loving way. If you both share a home office, and you happen to need some space from your spouse and kids, you can take breaks alone so you can recharge and unwind.
During these breaks you can stretch, go for a walk, watch something funny, read a book, workout or even do chores around the house. Some couples do not do well when they have been together all day long. If you and your partner are that couple, prevent arguments and irritation by simply ensuring that both of you get the alone time that you need.
5) End the day together
And when the day is over and the kids are in bed, it’s time to debrief. Talk about what you loved about the day and what did not go so well. But be careful not to be too nit picky so that it doesn't turn into a full blown argument.
Use this time as a bonding moment. You can pray together, listen to a podcast together, sit on the couch together or just be together in silence if you want.
Although there is a crisis going on in the outside world, there is no reason why there should be a crisis within your home as well. Turn to each other, cover each other in love. Make it your mission to make your marriage a lot stronger when this whole thing is over.
If you and your spouse are looking to really strengthen your friendship with one another, I offer marriage counseling in the Temecula/Murrieta area.

What your therapist is thinking when you're in session
Going to therapy or counseling can be difficult. You’ve probably struggled with whatever the issue is for months, or maybe years. You scour through all the Google or Psychology Today searches trying to find the best therapist for you. Maybe it’s your first time in therapy, so you’re super nervous about the therapy process. You’re not sure what to expect. And if you happen to live nearby, you know there a ton of therapists in the Murrieta/Temecula area to choose from.

You’re not sure what to expect. And if you happen to live nearby, you know there a ton of therapists in the Murrieta/Temecula area to choose from.
Maybe you’ve watched therapy sessions on YouTube to try to get a feel for what therapy might look like. Or maybe you’ve Googled your way around the internet to help you feel more comfortable with the concept of siting with a therapist. By the way, I wrote a blog post about what your first therapy session looks like. You can read more about that here. Well if you’re ready to dive into therapy, and you wonder what your therapist is thinking when she sits across from you for 50 minutes, I’m here to lift the veil a bit. Therapy is a lot less spooky than you think. And no, I don’t typically say “What I hear you saying is…”
So here it goes. Here are 5 things I’m thinking when I sit across from my therapy clients:
You have a ton of strengths
When I meet you for the first time, I make it a point to listen in for as many strengths as I can. In our first session together, I typically will ask you “What are your strengths?” If at that time, you’re not able to come up with any, that’s fine, because I have got you covered. As you talk to me about who you are, what brought you into therapy and what you’re trying to accomplish, all I hear are your strengths. Most people I see are kind, resilient and intelligent, the problem is they haven’t been told that before. It is my job to help you see your strengths and learn how to harness the power of your strengths so that your life can blossom.
You’re going to be okay
Typically, I know that you’re going to be okay before you do. I’ve been a therapist for many years, I’ve seen so many different types of clients come in with all sorts of struggles, and I have a good sense of what the outcome will be. Because I am very selective about the clients I work with, I typically pick clients whom I can help- that way I’m not wasting your time. So after the first session, I know that you are going to be okay. The challenge for me is helping you truly believe that and harnessing your super powers (everyone has them) so that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy for you.
I really love what I do
Some days I really feel like pinching myself because I don’t believe that people actually allow me the privilege of entering into the dark spaces of their hearts and minds, and walking with them as they find their way to the light. Every single time I get to be in a therapy session, I think about the unique honor of being a therapist. And do I really love what I do? Absolutely. There is no other profession I would have chosen. And yes, sometimes when I’m sitting across from you, my heart does feel warm and fuzzy because you have allowed me to be a part of your success story.
If you think about it, most people hold on to their struggles and pain. Only very few people actually go on to see a therapist to talk about these painful struggles that they’ve been battling with for years. And so it’s not lost on me that you are making a brave choice to come into my therapy office in Murrieta or meet with me for online counseling or teletherapy.
I can’t wait till you get to the other side of your pain
My job is to hold hope for you when you don’t even see the light at the end of the tunnel. And sometimes, because I’m the only one in the room who knows there’s light at the end of the tunnel, my job is to help you get to the other side of your pain. Sometimes it is difficult for me to watch you feel pain and struggle, but because I always hold hope for my clients, I know that your life is going to be so amazing if I can get you over the threshold and unto the other side. Because although there are many lessons to learn when you’re sitting on the therapy couch and battling through all the difficulty, when you finally get to the other side, your life will blossom beyond your wildest imagination- at least that’s what I think.
You’re going to do great things
Now of course, I am very biased and I believe in the transformative power of therapy. But it is my belief that when people are transformed in the therapy room, they not only change their lives, but they also have the opportunity to change the lives of their families, friends and loved ones for the better. Your outlook on life changes, the way you talk changes, who you are even changes as well. And when I sit across from you, I get to see the transformation week to week. I often think about the way my clients are going to impact their families, impact their friends and just become a much better version of themselves.
The therapy process is truly a beautiful thing.
And there you have it. A little peak into the mind of a therapist. If you are considering seeking out therapy or counseling in Murrieta, click here to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call. It’s important that your therapist is a great fit for you, so that you too can get to the other side of your anxiety or insomnia.

5 Simple ways to gain control of anxiety and fear
Risks and benefits of therapy
Therapy or counseling has become quite widespread in the US. In the Murrieta/Temecula area alone, there are probably almost about 100 therapists- if not more. There are therapists that specialize in anxiety, therapists for depression, for grief and loss, postpartum depression, family counseling, you name it. While some people have embraced therapy whole heartedly, others are still wary of it. After all, I can see why the idea of talking to a third party behind closed doors can appear scary to some. So let’s pull the curtain back. Let’s dive into the risks and benefits of therapy, so you remain informed when you make a decision to embark on your journey of healing.
Benefits of Therapy
1) An opportunity for growth: Most people see a therapist because they are ready for a change. Typically, there is something going on in their lives that they want to work on or improve. Usually your friends and your family members do not have the training to help you see patterns that aren’t working for you. Sometimes they might notice these patterns, but they either are too emotionally involved to help you, or they just don’t know how to communicate with you in a way that you can receive it. This is where your therapist comes in. We help you put the pieces together so that you can change those parts of you that are no longer working for you and move forward. We essentially help you get unstuck, but without judgement and shame.
2) A safe sounding board: Sometimes we just aren’t ready to hear what our family members have to say about us. And sometimes your family members and friends aren’t able to listen to you when you need them to. Sometimes your loved ones are really harsh with their feedback. In the therapy room, there is emotional safety. It’s time for you to get someone’s undivided attention and bounce your situation off of them. If you’ve never sat in a room that’s a safe space for all your deepest thoughts and ideas, try it. There is so much healing that could happen in the process. Without safety no one can open up, and without opening up you can’t do the work of growth.
3) A deep understanding of yourself and your environment: Therapy is the place where you can find out why you are the way you are or why your family is the way that they are. You learn to stop shaming yourself. You’ll probably learn how to put away guilt and you’ll begin to learn how to work through patterns of behavior that you’re trying to break. Once you know why you do the things that you do, it becomes a lot easier to stop making the same mistakes over and over. You begin to let go of things that don’t work for you and move forward.
You can also have a deeper understanding of your family, your loved ones and your environment. Through family therapy, you can bring your loved ones in and learn about what triggers you, better ways to communicate. You can also talk about hurts and pain in a safe environment so that you can grow and move forward. Couples therapy allows you to open up to your partner about emotions and thoughts that you probably did not know how to communicate. But a trained therapist facilitates important discussions.
4) Decrease in negative thoughts: I love to work from a cognitive behavioral therapy perspective. What this simply means is that I believe that your thoguths, your feelings and your behaviors are all connected. If you are aware of the way you think about the world, you can then begin to change any thoughts that have held you back for years. Each week, we’ll work on analyzing those thoughts, figuring out whether or not they are true, and coming up with alternative, more realistic thoughts. Once you switch the way you think about situations, your feelings also begin to shift. If your thoughts are mostly negative, you will also feel negative about your circumstances. You’ll learn to approach the world in a whole new way. You learn how to take control of the things that you can and let go of those that you cannot change. Talk about taking off burdens!
5) Stronger relationships: Sometimes you and your loved ones just can’t see eye to eye. The love might be strong, but the communication might be weak. In the therapy room, you learn communication skills that help you get your point across clearly and respectfully. You learn what the barriers are to successful communication and how to overcome them. Now, therapy is not a magic pill. It takes hard work and commitment, but if you and your loved ones are committed to making it work, it truly can heal your relationships- whether it is marriage counseling, family therapy or just individual counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma or whatever struggle you’re experiencing. You begin to have a deeper understanding of the way your environment works and how to make it better.
6) Increased self confidence: When you have the same struggle over and over again, it affects the way you feel about yourself. Often times, we blame ourselves for the struggles we are having, which takes a huge toll on our self confidence. But once you start to unlock the negative thinking and your emotions get lighter, increased self confidence follows.
Now that we’ve talked about the benefits of therapy, let’s dive into the risks.
Risks of Therapy
1) You may feel worse before you feel better: Therapy takes work. I always tell my clients that we have to dig through mud if we want to get fruit from a tree. This simply means you have to roll up your sleeves, look inwards and unpack difficult emotions. Sometimes there will be tears involved, sometimes you’ll be angry, and sometimes difficult memories will also come up. Some days you’ll leave the therapy room feeling worn down, tired and stressed out, but this is typically the process to growth. Have you ever seen a child learning to walk? She falls down hundreds of times. And each time, she looks frustrated, but if she hangs in there, she’ll eventually master the skill and even learn to run. You can’t skip the difficult parts.
2) Your relationship might worsen or even end: With couples therapy, sometimes couples come in when they are on the brink of divorce. One partner has her foot out the door, while the other one is begging her to remain in the relationship. In this situation, sometimes the partner who wants the divorce may never be willing to reconcile because he has made up his mind about wanting the relationship to end. Most people think that couples therapy always saves a marriage, but in some cases, both partners might come to the realization that they don’t want to stay together. It’s not the therapist’s job to force one party to reconcile with the other, rather we simply facilitate a peaceful process so that both parties can move forward. Sometimes couples therapy becomes a path to navigate a healthy breakup.
3) Discomfort: Being in therapy brings up a whole lot of difficult emotions. There might be traumatic memories that come up to the surface, there might be the realization that your family members aren’t the supportive bunch you thought they were, sometimes your partner might bring up a secret that he or she has been keeping from you, or sometimes your child confronts you about mistakes you made in your past. There might be some cringing, tears, sadness, feelings of guilt and shame. But it is the therapist’s job to hold space for you so that you can work on processing these difficult emotions and memories.
4) Growth could be slow: Therapy is not always a quick process. Depending on what issues and circumstances you want to work on, it could take weeks, months or sometimes, even years to get a resolution. My advice is to start therapy when you are ready. And when you are ready, be open, honest and committed to the process. If you come in to see your therapist only once in a while and you’re not open with her, chances are your growth will be stalled. It’s normal to sometimes try to self sabotage. That’s something you can discuss with your therapist and work through. But if you are committed to the process, the growth will come.
And there you have it. Those are some of the risks and benefits of therapy. If you are in the Murrieta/Temecula area, struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or insomnia, I provide therapy or counseling in Murrieta and online.
