In couple/marriage counseling, I go with an integrated approach that blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Through client-centered therapy, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where both partners can openly share their experiences, feelings, and concerns. This approach fosters a deep sense of being heard and understood, which is foundational for effective communication and connection. I incorporate CBT techniques to assist couples in identifying and challenging any unhelpful beliefs leading to negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that may be affecting their relationship dynamics. By exploring and addressing these underlying beliefs, couples can gain greater self-awareness and insight into their interactions within the relationship. The goal is to empower couples to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors more effectively, leading to improved communication, healthier relationship dynamics, and enhanced overall well-being within the partnership.
In couples/marriage counseling, I integrate communication styles as a powerful tool alongside the CBT triangle. We explore how each partner's communication style influences their interactions and relationship dynamics. By understanding these styles, couples can work towards more effective and empathetic communication, fostering deeper understanding and connection. I encourage couples to be solution-focused vs. problem-focused, emphasizing the importance of seeking compromises and mutually beneficial solutions. We collaborate to identify practical strategies and compromises that address the challenges and conflicts within the relationship. These tools help empower couples to navigate difficulties together, fostering resilience and growth within their partnership.
In couple/marriage counseling, I often observe substantial progress in couples when they become more aware of their unhelpful beliefs and transition from negative thought patterns to a more positive outlook. This transformation is reflected in their improved communication skills, leading to greater understanding and connection with their partner. As they gain insights into the influence of perspective, they also recognize their ability to choose which perspectives to prioritize and invest energy in. Couples begin to approach challenges with a solution-focused mindset, seeking compromises and mutually beneficial resolutions. Couples gain a healthier relationship dynamic which empowers them to navigate difficulties with resilience and cooperation.
As a valuable supplement to couples/marriage counseling, clients can enhance their emotional management skills by incorporating mindfulness practices and staying present with their feelings. By viewing emotions as signals that point to underlying unhelpful beliefs, clients can deepen their self-awareness of unconscious beliefs that are causing distress in the relationship. Writing down these unhelpful beliefs outside of therapy sessions can provide valuable insights into ingrained belief patterns, which can then be explored and restructured during counseling sessions. This proactive approach empowers clients to actively participate in their therapeutic process and fosters positive changes within themselves and their relationship dynamics.
Before their marriage/couples counseling intake, couples can take time to reflect on the challenges they're experiencing in the relationship. This reflection allows them to have a clear understanding of what they want to discuss and address with the counselor. It's also beneficial for couples to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship, providing valuable context for the counseling process. Additionally, approaching the counseling session with a mindset focused on learning better communication strategies, solution-focused approaches, and the willingness to compromise can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the therapy.
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.
