Hear from Robert McGowen, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Robert McGowen's profile

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

I teach communication skills and help them to engage with each other. I also try to remind them of the value of their relationship, as they got into it because they found this person exciting/attractive/caring and wanted to pursue him or her.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the speaker/listener technique, decision-making, value assessment, and future goals.

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

One of the clients will often verbalize how they believe the relationship is going. You can see the progress or lack thereof in the verbal or nonverbal communication between them.

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

Clients are making progress when they are planning places they want to go in the city or larger for quality time. This sometimes is restaurants or walks in the park. It is not about the specific place, but the person you are with.

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

Think of your goals for your relationship and you as a person in that relationship.

What is the Gottman Method of couples therapy?

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.

How to tell if I need couples therapy?

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.

How much does couples & marriage counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.

I thought the experience went well. I'm still new to Thriveworks and cannot really give honest feedback yet. I thought the Psychiatrist that I met with was very professional. She spoke like a subject matter expert and I was very pleased with my appointment with her. She changed my medications without me asking which I have been trying to do for a while now with the VA. Very pleased with the appointment.
