I'm not sure if there would be a couples therapist who would do online counseling with two people in different locations. I don't think this issue is common enough for you to be able to find a therapist who advertises such a service. You maaaay be able to find an therapist who does therapy through video chat and ask if this would be possible, but it would take a willing therapist and a therapist with some tech know-how (able to use Google Hangouts or something else for 3-person video chat).
But yeah, as you're already aware, the distance is a big barrier. I'd second the suggestion another person made about both of you starting individual therapy in your own home locations to work out issues.
Another idea I'd suggest is for the both of you to buy this book, read it on your own, and discuss it regularly by phone or videochat: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert https://www.amazon.com/dp/0553447718/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Dy9hzbWSKC8WS
There are a ton of relationship books out there, but Gottman is one of the major authorities in the field of couples therapy. I used it a lot with my couples in therapy with good feedback.
Good luck and hope you're able to work out the best decision that works for you both.
I have found Children's Solution Work (solution-focused therapy) and Playful Approaches to Serious Problems (narrative therapy) to be helpful! This online training for trauma-focused CBT is free, comprehensive, and provides a lot of sample scripts for conversations with kids and parents, which I love.
Dr. Kristin Neff's book "Self-Compassion" is really good for self-esteem/efficacy. It has been helpful for both myself and my clients. Each chapter also has exercises that you could easily do as a group activity or "homework" assignment. It's a fairly easy read too.

I am so sorry to hear that you have experienced the most awful loss of your son. You have carried your child for 33 weeks and given birth, then suffered a devastating bereavement. From what you say, it seems that you are not yet emotionally fit enough to return to work. I think it is important that you take as much time off work as you need to recover both physically and emotionally. Why can you not take maternity leave, since you have still given birth to a baby, even though tragically you now do not have him to care for. In the UK you are entitled to maternity leave and maternity pay (if you qualify for it) if you give birth after the end of the 24th week of pregnancy. In the UK you would also qualify for compassionate leave.
As therapists, we need to be mindful of our own self care and we need also to be in a fit enough place to offer our clients an effective service. What if a client wants to talk about their own loss or something that can trigger your own pain? You can't be present with your clients if you are worried about whether you are always going to be strong enough. It is still very early days after your loss, so you can't expect to be as strong as you would like to be yet. You need time to heal.
When you feel fit enough to see clients, then you can give a brief statement about your time off work in a way that you feel is most comfortable for you and appropriate for each client, reassuring them that you are now fit enough to return to work and offer them a therapeutic service.
For now, you may find the following helpful and supportive:
This organisation offers support and information for anyone affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth.
As you say, it is likely to be a long, tough road. It is a road that we cannot hurry but it is a path that can bring healing and growth as we journey along it. Wishing you my thoughts and all my wishes on your journey of healing.
I am studying for that currently. A friend recommended the NCMHCE Secrets book, and I feel like that is useful. It has a lot of practice tests in it. https://www.amazon.com/NCMHCE-Secrets-Study-Guide-Examination/dp/1610722434
There is also a DBT in schools book I've found useful. I've linked it here. I think the concept of Walking the Middle Path is helpful with adolescents. They are very extreme thinkers. It's either all or nothing and DBT concepts can help with balancing their thinking.
The treatment planner books are great for helping with this. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Adult-Psychotherapy-Treatment-Planner/dp/111806786X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479863730&sr=8-1&keywords=treatment+planner
