Starting Marriage counseling

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Gainesville, FL 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 Marriage counseling include:

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

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage 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.

How long does marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Gainesville, FL work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

I always feel very seen and heard with Vanessa Cumber. She is such a talent in this field! She is just great to talk to. She is validating and uplifting. She gives me so much hope and belief in myself.. She is extremely knowledgeable about the brain, and I've learned so much about why I get anxious, and she teaches me tools to cope. . Vanessa is also great with words. She knows how to describe any issue I'm grappling with, so I can see it more clearly.. Vanessa is a blessing! I am very grateful for her!

I do not wish to receive surveys after every session. I have an excellent therapist, Ginger, who is giving me hope I can kick this depression. I haven't had this type of hope from anyone for almost 20 years.

Ginger immediately made me comfortable and showed empathy for my situation. I have lost hope in therapy as I have felt very discouraged with previous therapist I have seen. Ginger gave me hope and put me at ease day one. Day one was just the assessment but in the short time we had together she took the time to briefly explain and educate me on my situation and previous traumas, also reassuring me that we would dive deeply into each topic. She also suggested a book which I have already dove into and it has helped bring a lot of understanding to my confusion. I feel excited to have found her. I appreciate her vulnerability and compassion. I feel safe expressing myself and not judged. I am looking forward to my journey of healing and clarity I have been seeking for years. Thank you so much Ginger!
