Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Are you and your romantic partner struggling to connect? Are you in a constant battle of “I’m right, you’re wrong”? Are you in need of an outsider’s perspective and guidance?
Consider working with a couples therapist or marriage counselor at Thriveworks Counseling in Cincinnati, OH. We have Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, as well as other counselors who specialize in relationship counseling. These professionals can help you and your partner get back to a healthy place.

Marriage counseling, or couples therapy, is exactly what it sounds like—psychotherapy designed to help couples re-engage, rebuild, and regain a shared vision for the future.
During your initial session, your therapist will learn as much as possible about each of you and your relationship together in order to get a clear picture of who you are as individuals and a couple. From that clear picture, your therapist will work with you to determine what issues are at the core of your struggles.
Typically, marital issues stem from a lack of effective communication. This can be difficult to understand, particularly for couples who feel they “used to” be able to talk about anything. After living together for an extended time, dealing with life’s ups and downs, and making major decisions together, a couple often finds they aren’t as strong communicators as they initially thought.
This is completely normal, and in fact, it’s one of the most common issues we see. But that’s where your therapist comes in. They will help you and your partner learn communication skills so you’re able to communicate effectively. This is particularly important if you and your partner have different communication styles. When people with different communication styles discuss sensitive subjects, it may unintentionally escalate into a fight. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can learn to communicate effectively with the help of a marriage or couples counselor.
Our professional, compassionate therapists are deeply invested in helping you create the happiest, healthiest, most supportive relationship possible. No relationship is perfect, but your romantic relationship should serve as a refuge from the rest of the world. When that relationship is suffering, your experiences in the rest of your life may also suffer.
Thriveworks Cincinnati, OH counselors know how painful it can feel to be lonely with your most loved one right next to you. We’re here to help you become close again. We don’t keep a waiting list, and many new clients can meet with their provider within the same week as scheduling. Don’t wait any longer—the beginning of relief is just a call away.
