This paper shares learned experiences in teletherapy (also called tele‐mental‐health, remote video therapy, and virtual therapy) with couples and families. It aims to enhance teletherapy practice with couples and families by providing tools for screening and coaching. The paper describes common pitfalls in teletherapy with couples and families and how to avoid or address them, describes the opportunities for added insight when engaging couples and families in teletherapy from their homes, provides concrete interventions in the form of process‐focused questions which therapists can draw from, and provides case examples. The case examples and process‐oriented questions focus on four areas: screening, logistical coaching of technology, using the family’s meeting place to learn about the family, and avoiding pitfalls.
