A common approach for helping people in family therapy is using a systems-based approach, which views the family as an interconnected unit where each person's behavior affects the others. The best benefit is often found in facilitating open communication and helping family members understand each other's perspectives, which can lead to improved relationships and conflict resolution. This approach often includes techniques such as identifying unhealthy communication patterns, setting boundaries, and working on problem-solving skills. Family therapy focuses on strengthening the family dynamic by promoting empathy, mutual respect, and shared goals.
The following tools are often taught in family therapy:
Progress in family therapy is evident when family members begin to communicate more openly and respectfully, actively listening to each other without interrupting or escalating conflict. Meaningful progress is also observed when individuals start using problem-solving and conflict resolution skills during disagreements, rather than falling back on old, unhelpful patterns. Additionally, improvements are seen when family members show greater empathy and understanding of each other's perspectives, and when roles and boundaries within the family become clearer and are respected. Reduced tension and more positive interactions during family meetings or everyday conversations are also strong indicators of progress.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy with the following activities:
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can reflect on their own goals for therapy, considering what they hope to achieve both personally and as a family. It may help to think about specific issues or patterns within the family that have caused tension or conflict, as well as any strengths that could be built upon. Being open to hearing different perspectives and approaching the session with a mindset of collaboration is important. Additionally, it can be helpful to communicate with family members beforehand about their shared goals for therapy and ensure everyone is on the same page about participation and expectations. Having an open and respectful attitude will set a positive tone for the first session.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Greensboro, NC usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Greensboro, NC offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
If you think that your family could benefit from the nurture, the support, and the guidance that a family therapist can provide, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Greensboro, NC. Call our office to schedule a session with a Thriveworks family therapist in Greensboro, NC today.

Your family therapist will get to know your family including the problems at hand as well as individual needs before they design treatment.

Troubled families are not just the result of trouble-making family members, though it may seem like that at times. The root causes can be pretty deep and quite latent. Sometimes there are underlying conditions in some people too, like:
