Couples therapy FAQs

What is couples therapy?

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It 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 couples therapy include:

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

How does couples therapy work?

Couples therapy 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 couples therapy 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 couples therapy conducted in person or online?

Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does couples therapy last?

On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.

Couples Therapy in Knoxville, TN

We’re glad you’ve taken the time to consider how couples therapy might benefit the health of your relationship. All relationships experience positive and negative seasons, ups and downs.

Yours is no different. What you’re experiencing right now is likely not what your relationship was like when you first got together and is inevitably different from what your relationship could be like in the near future. If you think your relationship could benefit from professional help, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville today to schedule an appointment.

Who Can Benefit from Couples Therapy?

Often explicit circumstances—like parenting, infidelity, trust issues, or problems getting along — drive our clients to seek professional guidance. In other cases, couples choose to see a therapist based on a sense that their relationship is missing something. Others come because they want for more intimacy and connection.

It’s perfectly normal to feel apprehensive or overwhelmed at the prospect of talking about the personal issues in your relationship. If you’re like some of our clients, one partner might be ready for therapy while the other has some reservations. However, years of experience in the field tell us that making a commitment to change is far more effective and fruitful when done under the guidance of a professional.

Why Thriveworks Knoxville Couples Counseling?

Thriveworks licensed counselors listen to your story. We assess the needs and goals of the individuals in counseling and the needs and goals of the relationship. Our job is to offer you new tools to help navigate through your specific issues and arrive a place of understanding and resolution. Our therapists don’t tell you what decisions to make. We facilitate conversation and practices that develop a fuller understanding of your sense of self, family history, and relationship dynamics. That’s how real change happens.

Relationships are complex, and explaining your history to a third party may feel daunting. That’s why we hire therapists who are warm, compassionate, and focused listeners. There is no “right” way or “wrong” way to arrive at a session. Our therapists are prepared to meet you exactly where you are.

We understand that the circumstances that drive couples to therapy can be emotionally intense, so we make a point to be absolutely accessible to our clients. We’ve made it easy for you to get in touch. Our counselors are often able to meet with new clients within the same week of them reaching out to schedule.

Finally, Thriveworks Knoxville couples counseling is pleased to accept most insurance plans. We believe cost should never be an obstacle to pursuing couples counseling.
