What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and solution-focused therapy. EFT can help identify destructive patterns in a relationship that begin to interfere with attachments and ultimately prevent two people from bonding. Solution-focused therapy works best for couples who have a specific issue they want to work on in their relationship. The approach is helpful when working towards a short-term relationship goal.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

These are some of the tools that I teach in couples/marriage counseling:

  • Interpersonal skills: The ability to effectively communicate feelings and thoughts.
  • Conflict resolution skills: Identifying ways to resolve arguments without yelling and displaying other destructive behavior.
  • Rules of engagement: Therapists aid couples in identifying rules and implementing techniques that will assist couples in keeping conversations on track without either of them going off-topic.
  • TTD method: Tone, technique, and delivery. The therapist teaches the couple the importance of their tone and word choice.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when there is a decrease in re-occurring arguments and the couple is able to resolve conflicts by effectively using techniques learned in couples therapy sessions. A couple's emotional intimacy often increases as well (spending more time together, understanding each other's love language, and prioritizing partner's feelings).

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

I provide clients with worksheets and homework. This allows clients to reinforce the skills that they learned and spend time discussing areas that need improvement in their relationship.

What should someone do to prepare for starting couples/marriage counseling?

I encourage couples to identify goals that they want to accomplish before starting couples/marriage counseling. It is important that couples have a clear idea of what they want to accomplish before starting couples therapy. It is also beneficial for each partner to be willing to participate in couples therapy. It is difficult if one partner is willing and the other partner feels pressured or forced to start couples therapy.

Starting Couples therapy

What is couples therapy?

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:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does couples therapy work?

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.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples therapy last?

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.

I initially had a fantastic experience with Thriveworks, and I was thrilled with the service they provided. My journey to find the right therapist was successful, and I happily recommended Thriveworks to friends and family. However, my positive experience took a turn when I discovered that the therapist I connected with does not accept my insurance. Embarking on the path to seek help required a lot of courage on my part, and I fully committed to the process. In just 4 or 5 sessions, I developed a strong connection with my therapist. Unfortunately, the realization that she could no longer continue due to insurance constraints has left me feeling disappointed. Now, I find myself having to start the therapeutic journey all over again, and this has diminished my overall satisfaction with the service.

Sherodle is a fantastic counselor. I’ve learned so much that I use to make my life better. She is easy to speak with, very personable. Not sure about your rating system. I put 5 assuming that is best.
