In my state, marriage counselors have weaker licensure requirements than therapists, down to being licensable with a theology degree and a short practicum. Find out what licenses exist where you live and avoid anyone who hasn't completed the stricter license. Where I live the license to look for is Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

One possible place to check is your local university. I know the one by me has a good clinical psych program and they run a clinic that is open to the public. They charge on a sliding scale based on your income so it may be more affordable.
How does one go about finding a good therapist? At $100+ per hour, I could see it costing potentially thousands to find someone that's just good, let alone very good.
In the past the wife and I tried going to a few different marriage counselors, it was not very encouraging.
