My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is to work on building communication skills. I find the best benefit in this approach because it gives couples the tools to resolve future issues/concerns.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: communication skills, building/reestablishing trust, emotional regulation, and healthy coping skills.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when the couple is able to resolve disagreements without arguments.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with bibliotherapy, individual therapy, and increasing healthy coping skills.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can write down goals for therapy and bring them to the first session.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.
Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Sometimes we can figure out how to address and manage a problem that arises in our relationship, but in other instances, we need a little help. And who better to help than someone who specializes in helping couples?
