Guide for couples therapists

Couples therapist? Want more couples to find you before the crisis?

Couples usually search for help at the worst possible moment, and they choose the therapist whose voice they already recognise. Short videos with one calm, useful idea each, posted on YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels, do that quietly in the background. No camera, no editing, no showing your face. This page gives you the prompt, 30 video ideas and a ready first script.

We get it

You're a couples therapist, not a video editor. You don't need to become one.

You can hear the real argument underneath the argument in the first ten minutes of a session. But video probably felt like a different job: a camera, good lighting, editing software, and the worry that being on screen changes the room before the couple even arrives.

With jajavideo you write (or let AI write) what you want to say. That's it. The built-in director splits it into scenes, picks a visual for every sentence, adds a natural voice-over, music and animated captions. You don't need to be a good speaker or writer either. The prompt on this page writes the scripts from your clinical knowledge. You just check that each one is accurate, kind and within your professional guidelines.

These videos share general information, not personal advice.

Why video works for couples therapists

Couples often wait years before they call. A short video can shorten that wait.

People rarely search for a couples therapist on a good day. They search at night, after a fight, and they choose someone whose voice already feels familiar.

Trust before the first session

A couple who has watched a few of your videos arrives already calmer. They know how you speak, they know you won't take sides, and the first session starts further along.

You reach people who aren't looking yet

Most couples scroll long before they search. A short, useful video about a familiar pattern can be the first time someone realises there is a name for what they're living.

Explain the invisible

Therapy is hard to picture. A 40-second video about what actually happens in a first session makes the unknown feel manageable for someone who has never spoken to a therapist.

One calm voice in a loud feed

Most relationship content online is loud advice. A therapist who explains one small idea, without blame and without a face on camera, stands out by being steady.

Step by step

From zero to a week of couples videos in one sitting

Copy the couples therapist prompt below

Add your name or practice, your city or online area, and who you usually work with. Your details go straight into the prompt.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

You get 10 scripts, each explaining one specific relationship pattern or therapy question, each opening with a hook and ending with your practice name.

Check every script like you'd check a case note

You're the clinician. Remove anything that overstates, blames, or breaks your professional guidelines. Five minutes.

Paste all 10 into jajavideo's Bulk tab

Sign up free, open Bulk, paste. The AAA lines split them into 10 separate videos.

Pick a voice, press Generate, then post or schedule

Each video is a vertical MP4 for Shorts, TikTok, Reels and Facebook. Post them at your own pace, or schedule them on the platforms so one goes live each week while you're in sessions.

The format

Plain text, a Title: line, AAA between scripts

No scenes, no visual directions. Just what should be said. This is exactly what you paste:

Paste into jajavideo → Bulk
Title: Why you keep having the same fight
You've had this argument forty times, and it's never really about the dishes. Most couples fight about the same thing because the surface topic is standing in for something harder to say, like feeling alone or feeling unseen. Next time it starts, try naming the softer thing underneath. Not "you never help", but "I feel like I'm carrying this on my own". It's harder to say and harder to argue with. You don't have to get it perfect. One honest sentence in the middle of a fight can change where it goes. Want more of these? Search Clearwater Couples Therapy on Google.

Copy, paste, done

The couples therapist prompt: 10 expert scripts in one go

Fill in your details. The prompt updates as you type. Copy it into any AI chat and paste the answer straight into jajavideo.

Prompt for Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini
You are an expert short-form video scriptwriter and an experienced couples therapist. Write 10 scripts for faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels for a couples therapist.

About me:
- Name or practice: [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE]
- City or area: online, no specific city
- Who I usually work with: couples in long-term relationships
- My focus: communication and recurring arguments
- Language of the scripts: English

Rules for every script:
1. Explain ONE specific, practical idea about relationships or about what couples therapy is like. General education only, no personal advice, no diagnosis, no promises of outcomes.
2. The first sentence is the hook: a common mistake, a myth, or a real question couples ask. It must keep the viewer watching past the first 3 seconds.
3. 90 to 130 words of flowing spoken narration (about 30 to 50 seconds). Warm, plain language, short sentences. No jargon without a one-line explanation. No scene directions, emojis, lists or headings.
4. Include one concrete detail: a phrase people can actually say, a moment in a session, a small exercise, a real situation.
5. Never blame one partner, never take sides, never promise that therapy saves a relationship. Encourage people to seek qualified help for their own situation.
6. End with this sentence: "Want to know more? Search [YOUR NAME OR PRACTICE] on Google.". Write any website as words, for example "example dot com".
7. Each script covers a different topic. Mix everyday patterns, myths, questions couples ask, quick communication tools and what happens in a first session.

Format (follow exactly):
- Start each script with one line: Title: [topic]: [hook]. The title is not read aloud.
- Then the narration as one paragraph.
- After each script, a line that contains only AAA.

Output only the 10 scripts in this format, nothing before or after. I will paste them straight into jajavideo.

Video 1 · Why you keep having the same fight

Read the script

Title: Couples therapy: why you keep having the same fightYou've had this argument forty times, and it's rarely really about the dishes. In couples therapy, a common pattern is that the surface topic stands in for something harder to say, like feeling alone or unseen. The complaint gets loud while the need stays quiet. Next time it starts, try naming the softer thing underneath. Not "you never help," but "I feel like I'm carrying this on my own." That's harder to say and harder to argue with, because it's honest rather than accusatory. You don't have to get it perfect. One honest sentence in the middle of a fight can change where it goes. Want to learn more? Search Clearwater Couples Therapy on Google.

Video 2 · The repair attempt most couples miss

Read the script

Title: Repair attempts: the small move most couples missMost couples make repair attempts all the time and most couples miss them. One partner cracks a small joke in the middle of a tense moment, and the other hears it as being dismissed. Researchers call that move a repair attempt, an effort to lower the heat before things go too far. When something lands badly, try naming what you were trying to do: I was trying to lighten it, not brush you off. It sounds awkward the first time, and it works because it turns a misread into information. Try it once this week and notice what shifts. Want to understand each other better?

Video 3 · What actually happens in a first session

Read the script

Title: First couples session: what actually happens when you sit downMost couples delay that first call because they picture being judged, or being told who's at fault. In reality, you sit together and I ask what brought you here and what each of you would like to be different. I'm not there to referee or pick a side; I'm there to notice the pattern you both get caught in, the loop that keeps repeating. It's common for one partner to talk more at first, and nobody has to share everything on day one. The first session is really about seeing whether we work well together. Wondering what it's like?

Mistakes
  1. Waiting for a crisis before calling
  2. Trying to win the argument instead of understanding it
  3. Saving the hard conversation for late at night
  4. Bringing up the past in every new fight
  5. Assuming the other person should just know
  6. Using "always" and "never" in a disagreement
  7. Avoiding the topic everyone tiptoes around
  8. Talking about the problem only when it's already a fight
  9. Waiting until the children are older
  10. Booking a therapist only for one partner
Myths and client questions
  1. "Does going to therapy mean we're failing?"
  2. "Is it too late for us?"
  3. "Will the therapist take sides?"
  4. "Do we both have to come?"
  5. "How long does couples therapy take?"
  6. "Can therapy fix us if only one of us wants to change?"
  7. "Is it normal to argue this much?"
  8. "Should we talk about the affair in the first session?"
  9. "What if we can't afford weekly sessions?"
  10. "Is online couples therapy as good as in person?"
Quick how-tos
  1. Start a hard conversation without a fight
  2. Take a 20-minute pause when things get heated
  3. Ask a question that opens instead of closes
  4. Name the feeling underneath the anger
  5. Agree on one small change instead of ten
  6. Repair after a fight in three sentences
  7. Set a weekly check-in that takes ten minutes
  8. Talk about money without it turning into blame
  9. Ask for what you need instead of hinting
  10. Find a therapist who fits both of you

Your clinical instinct applies here too

What makes a relationships Short get watched

Think of it like a first session. The opening earns attention, the middle stays calm, and the ending leaves the door open.

The first 3 seconds are the intake call

Open with the pattern or the question people are too embarrassed to ask out loud. If the first sentence doesn't sound like their life, they scroll.

Title as Topic: hook

"Why you keep having the same fight" tells the viewer and the platform exactly who it's for, without blame and without a face.

One idea per video

Same rule as one theme per session. Three tools in 40 seconds means the viewer remembers none of them.

Stay neutral, always

Never take a side, never diagnose, never promise a relationship will be saved. General information, with a gentle nudge to seek qualified help, keeps you within your professional guidelines.

Test like you test a new exercise

Make the same idea with three different first sentences. Keep the hook that holds viewers and reuse that pattern.

Consistency beats volume

You tell couples that change takes time. An audience works the same way. You don't have to post daily. Make a batch in one sitting and schedule them at your own pace.

Think bigger

More than marketing: new ways to earn with video

When a finished video costs you a couple of minutes, video stops being a cost and becomes something you can offer.

Add a short video series to your practice

Many couples want something to watch between sessions. Offer a themed series of short videos as an add-on to your packages: you write the ideas with the prompt, jajavideo makes the videos, and you deliver them under your practice name. Commercial use is included on every plan, and on Unlimited you can put your own logo on the videos.

Example: 4 couples × 12 videos a month = 48 videos
Your cost on Unlimited: $27 a month in total
Your price: whatever 12 videos a month is worth to your clients

Workshops and group programs

Use short videos to promote a couples workshop or a group program, and to give attendees something to revisit afterwards.

Resources for referrers

Give doctors, family lawyers and mediators a short video explaining what couples therapy is and who it suits. It makes referrals easier for them.

Reach couples in their language

Couples often want to talk about their relationship in their first language. jajavideo speaks 74 languages, so you can reach communities most local practices don't.

A calm first contact

Send a curious couple a short video about what a first session looks like. It answers the question they're too nervous to ask, before they ever pick up the phone.

Never made a video before? Start here

Every question a first-timer asks, answered

You've never edited a video and never used a system like this. That's fine. Most people who use jajavideo hadn't either. Pick any question below. Can't find yours? Ask Jaja, our agent.

Getting started

I have never edited a video in my life. Can I really do this?

Yes. You never open an editing program, never cut anything and never touch a timeline. You paste text into a box, pick a voice, and press Generate. jajavideo does every video step for you: it splits your text into scenes, picks a picture or clip for every sentence, records the voice-over, adds music and puts animated captions on screen. If you can copy and paste, you can make a video.

What exactly do I need before I start?

Three things: an email or Google account to sign up, a few sentences about a relationships topic (or the prompt on this page to write them), and a few minutes. No camera, microphone, software, design skills or credit card.

How do I sign up?

Go to jajavideo.com and press "Continue with Google". It takes about 10 seconds. You can also sign up with an email address. No card is asked for.

What's the very first thing I should do after I sign up?

Make one test video before anything else. Open the dashboard, stay on the Single tab, and paste this:

Title: Couples tip: the repair attempt
Most arguments don't sink a relationship. The way couples come back from them does. Researchers who study couples talk about repair attempts, a small joke, a hand on the arm, a soft "can we pause". It's the signal that says we're still on the same team, even mid-fight. Next time a conversation heats up, try one small repair instead of winning the point. It feels awkward the first time and gets easier with practice. Couples counselling can help you build that habit together. Search Cedar Grove Couples Therapy on Google.

Choose English and any voice, press Generate, and in a couple of minutes you'll see your first finished video. After that, everything else on this page will make sense.

How long until I have my first video?

Usually a couple of minutes per video. If many people are making videos at the same moment it can take a bit longer. You can close the tab: you'll get an email the moment it's ready.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Scripts: what the video says

What is a "script"?

Just the words the voice will say in the video. Nothing technical. For a 30–50 second video that's about 90–130 words, roughly one short paragraph.

I'm not a writer or a speaker. Who writes the scripts?

You don't have to. You have three easy options. One: copy the prompt on this page into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it writes 10 scripts for you. Two: inside jajavideo, type one line like "a tip about listening without fixing" and press ✨ Write script. Three: ask Jaja, the script assistant, for ideas in plain words. Your only job is to read the result and make sure the relationship advice is sound and general.

What's the "Title:" line for?

It names your video so you can find it later. It is never read aloud and never shown in the video. Use the pattern Topic: hook, for example Title: Couples myth: never go to bed angry.

Do I write anything about the pictures or scenes?

No. Write only what should be said. jajavideo's built-in director reads your sentences and chooses a matching visual for each one by itself.

How do I make people contact me at the end?

Make the last sentence your credit, for example "Search Cedar Grove Couples Therapy on Google." The voice reads it out. If you mention a website, write it as words, "cedargrove dot com", so the voice says it correctly. Jaja can also add the ending for you if you tell it your practice name or website.

Can I fix a word or a sentence the AI wrote?

Of course. It's just text. Change anything before you paste it into jajavideo. If you notice a problem after the video is made, edit the text and make it again.

What if I run out of ideas?

Use the 30 ideas on this page, write down the questions couples bring to your sessions, or reply to the AI in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different tips." You can also paste one of your blog posts and ask for five scripts based on it.

Bulk: many videos in one paste

What is Bulk, in simple words?

Bulk lets you paste several scripts at once and get a separate video for each one. Instead of making ten videos one by one, you paste ten scripts in one go and come back to ten finished videos.

How does jajavideo know where one video ends and the next starts?

Put a line with only AAA between scripts. Each script starts with its own Title: line. Here is the smallest possible example, 3 scripts that become 3 videos:

Title: Couples tip: soften the opening
How you start a hard conversation often decides how it ends. Instead of "you never listen", try a soft opening that describes you, not them. Something like "I've been feeling a bit alone in the evenings and I'd like to talk about it." It's the same concern, but your partner hears a request rather than an accusation. Try it once this week and notice the difference. Search Cedar Grove Couples Therapy on Google.
AAA
Title: Couples myth: conflict means it's failing
Disagreeing doesn't mean your relationship is broken. Every couple argues. What matters is whether you can come back together afterwards. Couples who repair well tend to stay connected through hard seasons. So next time you clash, don't ask "are we okay?" Ask "how do we get back to okay?" That small shift changes the whole conversation. Search Cedar Grove Couples Therapy on Google.
AAA
Title: Couples tip: turn toward small bids
Your partner says "look at this" while you're on your phone. That's a bid for connection, and how you answer it adds up over time. You don't have to drop everything. A glance and a real "oh, tell me" is often enough. Couples who turn toward these small moments tend to feel closer in the long run. Try catching one bid today. Search Cedar Grove Couples Therapy on Google.

Real scripts should be longer (90–130 words), but that's the whole idea: Title, text, AAA, repeat.

Where do I paste them?

In the dashboard, click the Bulk tab (next to Single), paste everything into the big box, choose the language and voice, and press Generate. All videos use the same voice and caption style.

Do I have to write "AAA" myself?

No, if you use the prompt on this page. It already tells the AI to put AAA between scripts, so you copy the AI's answer and paste it as it is.

I forgot the AAA lines. What happens?

If each script starts with its own "Title:" line, jajavideo still splits them correctly. AAA is simply the safest way to be sure.

Can I mix languages in one Bulk paste?

It's best to paste one language at a time, so every video gets a voice that matches. Make the English batch, then the Spanish batch.

Where do I find all the videos afterwards?

On your Videos page. Each one appears as soon as it's ready, and you get an email when they're done. Download them any time within 30 days.

The video itself

Will my face or voice be in the video?

No. The videos are faceless: real images and short clips, a natural AI voice-over, music and captions. Nobody appears on camera, and you never record your voice. That can also help you keep a calm, private boundary around your work.

Can I choose the voice and the captions?

Yes. Choose from 300+ natural voices in 74 languages, and from 5 caption styles: Classic, Karaoke, Word Pop, Box Highlight or Two-line.

What if I don't like how a video came out?

Press "Make it again — free". It's made again from the same script with fresh visuals, and it never counts against your free videos.

How long can a video be?

Shorts can run up to about 3 minutes of narration, but 30–60 seconds usually works best. The Unlimited + Long plan adds landscape YouTube videos up to 4 minutes.

What format is the video?

A vertical 1080×1920 MP4, the standard size for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. Make it once, post it everywhere.

Will faceless videos make me look less professional?

Not when each video shares one real, specific idea. People judge a short by whether it was worth their time. A clear, general tip about communication with your practice name at the end reads as expertise.

Posting & scheduling

Do I have to post a video every day?

No. Post at the pace that suits you. The simple rule is: the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Two or three a week is a fine start. Steady beats occasional bursts.

I don't have time to upload every day. What can I do?

Schedule them. Make a batch of videos in one sitting with Bulk, then use the scheduling tools that the platforms already give you for free, so one video goes live each day (or every other day) while you work.

  • YouTube: upload in YouTube Studio and choose "Schedule" instead of "Public", then pick the date and time.
  • Instagram and Facebook: Meta Business Suite lets you schedule Reels ahead of time.
  • TikTok: on the TikTok website you can set a future posting time when you upload.

One hour on Sunday can fill the whole week. Platform menus change from time to time, so look for the "Schedule" option when you upload.

Where should I post first?

Start with one platform you already use or where your clients are, often YouTube Shorts or Instagram. Once that's a habit, post the same videos on the others. They're already the right size.

What should I write in the description?

One or two sentences about the tip, your business name, and how to contact you. On YouTube, add a link to your website if your channel allows links.

Does jajavideo upload the videos for me?

No. You download each video and post it yourself, so you stay in control of your accounts.

Results

How soon will I get clients from this?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Like any steady outreach, video builds up over time. Give it a few months, look at which topics get watched, and make more like those.

How do I know what's working?

Each platform shows you views and how long people watched. Look for videos that keep people watching past the first few seconds, and repeat their topic and opening style.

My first videos got few views. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. New accounts often start slowly while the platform learns who your videos are for. Keep posting at your own pace, make your first sentence stronger, and keep each video to one clear idea.

Do these videos help people find my practice?

They add visibility on YouTube, social platforms and your Google Business Profile, and can help people get a feel for how you explain things before they reach out. No video guarantees new clients, so don't promise that to anyone.

Clients & business

Can I make videos for my clients and charge for them?

Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan, so you can publish videos on your practice's accounts and sell video as part of your services. Keep the content general and educational, in line with your professional advertising rules.

Can I put my own logo on the videos?

Yes, on the Unlimited plans. Every video is watermark-free, or carries your own logo if you want it.

Can I make videos in my clients' languages?

Yes, in 74 languages including right-to-left ones like Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Ask the prompt to write in that language, then pick a voice in the same language.

Free plan & price

Is it really free?

Yes. Every day you get 5 completely watermark-free videos, about 150 a month, with no card. After those 5, you can keep making videos with a small "Made with jajavideo" credit.

When do my 5 free videos reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC.

Do failed videos or redos count?

No. Only finished videos count, and "Make it again" is always free.

What do the paid plans add?

Unlimited ($27/month): unlimited watermark-free videos, your own logo, priority in the queue. Unlimited + Long ($47/month): everything in Unlimited plus landscape videos up to 4 minutes. Both are monthly PayPal subscriptions you can cancel any time.
