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

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is focusing on what is best for the relationship. I find the best benefit in focusing on the future because focusing on the past about who is right or wrong is based on the ego and individual instead of moving toward a united relationship.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: communication; relationship mutual values and goals; and ways to increase physical, emotional, and intellectual intimacy.

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

I know a couple is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they are able to effectively communicate their needs and they can support and work together to reach mutual and individual goals.

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

Couples can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by developing a relationship ritual that is devoted to the repair and maintenance of the couple's relationship.

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

To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can identify three relationship goals to address in therapy.

I had 6 or 7 sessions with Nancy Fredricks. A lovely lady. However, I had to end my sessions with her. I started becasue I was going through a depression,which was not normal for me. I had never had councelling on my own before. I'd had marriage councelling, but never individual councelling. Nancy did not ask a lot of questions or offer much in the way of practical solutions. Also, Nancy spends a lot of time scratching her head. I'm not sure what her condition is, but it is very distracting to watch during a therapy session. I'm not saying that talking to Nancy didn't help me. But it was not offering enough of a value that I would continue on with it. I wish her a lot of success in the future.

Absolutely unbelievable..I would never on my life have thought that the therapist needs a therapist for her own issues with dealing with people and client feedback. I'm very disappointed with nancy Frederick. She is no where qualified to act as a financial advisor or medical doctor and give unprofessional and non solicited advice.
