View Deidra Fuller's profile

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

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage/relationship counseling is learning to listen for meaning and not focusing on formulating a response. Listening and asking for clarification is key to successful communication in relationships.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in couples/marriage/relationship counseling: communication styles, negotiation, reflective listening, gratitude for each other, looking for the positives, asking whether is X needed/wanted, “I feel” statements, and how not to “mind read.”

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage/relationship counseling when they tell me about a time they were able to communicate and negotiate successfully in a situation or scenario that would have previously resulted in an argument. Also, when one person tells me that they recognized the effort made by their partner and showed appreciation for the effort.

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

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage/relationship counseling by practicing the skills taught or discussed in the session and having time for themselves and each other.

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

To prepare for your first session, you can discuss with your partner what your goals are for therapy. If you are meeting via Zoom with your therapist, make sure your internet is strong enough for Zoom, make sure you have a private place to meet, schedule some quiet time for after the session, and remind yourself how you felt about your partner at the beginning of your relationship.

What is the Gottman Method of couples therapy?

The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.

How to tell if I need couples therapy?

If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.

Should every couple go to couples therapy?

While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.

Is couples & marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage and couples 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 couples & marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & 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.

Need more help deciding?

Strong relationships and marriages are built on trust and communication. When both are suffering, it might be time to consider counseling. Couples can benefit from therapy because it provides them a forum to air their concerns to an impartial and trained professional. Talking through issues with a couples therapist can help partners reconnect, find common ground, and build healthier relationships.

For many, couples counseling can help restart a troubled marriage or take a relationship to the next level. If you are ready to prioritize your partnership and your future, consider reaching out for an appointment at Thriveworks in Midland, TX.

When to Consider Couples Therapy

Couples often choose to seek relationship counseling when they’re having trouble communicating. Others might want to address their issues before they become untenable. The earlier that relationship issues are addressed, the better the chance for reconciliation.

Couples seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Some might need to address one or more of these issues:

  • Financial arguments
  • Disagreements over parenting styles or decisions
  • Lost trust or resentment over past mistakes
  • Intimacy issues or feeling that the romance is gone
  • A sense that you’re drifting apart
  • Infidelity
  • Arguments that never seem to resolve

Many couples can benefit from seeing a couples counselor, not only those that feel their relationship is in serious trouble. Marriage and family therapy can also help partners address potential problems before they become serious.

How Does Relationship Counseling Work?

Communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Without it, conflicts become crises, feelings get hurt, and disagreements turn into long-term resentments. Couples counseling can help address these issues by restoring communication and helping couples understand each other in a deeper and more appreciative way. A couples therapist will encourage partners to be open and honest about their problems. That way, partners learn the source of each other’s issues and how to address them.

Couples counseling can take a variety of forms. Some therapists use the Gottman Method, which founder John Gottman developed over decades of research and clinical trials. The Gottman Method shows couples how to build “love maps” to learn more about each other. Through this method, partners develop more effective ways to manage conflict.

Emotionally focused therapy helps couples grow their emotional attachments and develop stronger bonds. That way, couples learn how to engage with each other during conflict instead of escalating the argument or detaching from it. Meanwhile, narrative therapy helps partners learn more about each other by sharing personal stories, including those that have led to conflict. During therapy sessions, couples externalize the conflicts and learn new narratives that are more helpful and forgiving.

Schedule Couples and Marriage Counseling in Midland, TX

Relationships need work and care to thrive. Occasionally, they also might benefit from a fresh perspective. The couples counselors at Thriveworks are here to help. We make it easy to schedule an appointment. Sessions are available on nights and weekends if your weekdays are busy.

Your relationship is precious and you don’t have to let communication issues weaken it. When you’re ready to prioritize your relationship, consider making an appointment for couples counseling at Thriveworks in Midland, TX. It may be the best gift you give your partner this year.

I am so thankful for Ms. Edwige Tonye, Ms. Deidra Fuller and Thriveworks for helping me to get back on the right track mentally, emotionally, physically, etc., even in the brief time that I've been apart of this program. It was not complicated to navigate the website as it allows you to freely discover the counselor you feel you'd mesh well with based on the thorough information provided for each person. I appreciate the effectiveness of its simplicity and wide variety of help with what you are looking for.. Edwige is very sweet and bubbly, knowledgeable and immensely helpful on this quest to improve my mental health. Deidra is kind, understanding, straightforward, funny, and knowledgeable to what your needs and struggles are. Both ladies challenge you to be who you know you can be, even if you're scared on the initial road to be that person. So far so good with these sessions and on the path to being and accepting myself. I'm very thankful that the Lord placed this program and these amazing ladies in my life and I cannot thank them enough for what they do.
