Starting Family therapy

What is family therapy?

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.

How does family therapy work?

Thriveworks family therapists in Biloxi, MS usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.

What is the most effective family therapy?

The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.

What is included in family therapy?

In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.

What is the success rate of family therapy?

Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.

Is family therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks therapists in Biloxi, MS offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does family therapy last?

Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

Why Do People Seek Family and Child Therapy?

A big move isn’t the only cause of distress within family systems. Just as all families are different, the issues affecting them can vary. A single parent may struggle to make ends meet, a same-sex couple might face discrimination during the adoption process, and a teenager may act out because their parents are separating. However, some common themes can drive a family to seek professional care. Consider the following:

  • Unclear or violated boundaries: This includes things like curfews, social media use, or personal space. If a parent and child disagree about expectations, rules, or privacy, it can lead to a rift in their relationship.
  • Lack of familial support: A family member can feel neglected if their concerns are ignored or their victories go unnoticed. The same is true for someone with a mental health concern, chronic pain, or addiction.
  • Loss or tragedy: Death can cause immense grief and leave a family uncertain of how to move on without them. Similarly, events like the incarceration of a parent or a natural disaster can interfere with a family’s harmony.
  • Unhealthy habits: One person’s actions can impact an entire household. The presence of gambling, alcohol, or drug use can negatively affect a family’s relationships.
  • Behavioral problems: Focusing on a child’s actions usually obscures the underlying causes of their behavior. Bullying, underage drinking, and failing classes can be signs of deeper issues.

You may be going through some of these situations. These issues can feel daunting, and reaching out might seem intimidating. It’s important to remember you’re not alone. Countless families encounter similar hurdles, and licensed counselors and therapists can help unravel the issues present in a family system.

Common Benefits of Family Therapy Sessions

The good news is family therapy or counseling are effective methods for resolving specific issues, processing shared trauma, and discovering new ways to support one another. Your first session will mainly focus on getting to know your family. A counselor or therapist might ask questions about your family relationships, a typical day in your life, and what you aim to accomplish during your sessions.

From there, sessions can involve structural, strategic, or systemic therapy processes. Your provider may recommend homework, new activities to do together, or a specific family member accessing long-term mental health services.

However your appointments evolve, frequent takeaways include increased affection, enhanced communication, deeper empathy, and new perspectives on disagreements. Do you think working with a mental health professional could be beneficial for your family? Consider contacting our counseling center at Thriveworks Counseling in Biloxi, MS today.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
