Marriage counseling FAQs

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’ve always had a great experience with Thriveworks from finding providers, booking appointments, changing appointments and getting setup with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable doctors.

Vanessa Cumber has been wonderful in helping me navigate grief I still experience 12 years after my husband’s death, issues in my complicated new relationship, and a cancer diagnosis for this mate. I needed help, and she’s been there for me. I actually did recommend her to a friend, and although my friend ended up with a different Thriveworks therapist because of scheduling conflicts, I’d certainly recommend Vanessa (and Thriveworks in general) to anyone needing assistance in navigating the complications life sends our way.

I love Thriveworks! I appreciate all the reminders for my upcoming appointments! It really helps!. My Provider, Vanessa Cumber, is outstanding. She remembers the things I've shared and follows up to see how they went. She cares greatly about my progress with everything I am working on, and is truly happy for me when I can use my tools and manage my anxiety better. Vanessa's empathy and humor are such a wonderful gift to me! She is so smart and has such wisdom, too!
