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

My go-to approach is to establish the history of the relationship and seek to improve areas of concern while addressing any underlying issues of poor communication and boundaries.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I prefer to focus on communication skills and conflict resolution, but I personalize my treatment plan to the needs of the couple.

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

I see progress when couples are able to disagree and focus on finding solutions rather than on being right.

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

Couples can focus on their partner's needs and communicate their own needs, making sure to discuss resolutions and not blame the other partner.

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

Before attending the first session, know what issues you wish to address and be willing to work on them together.

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.
