What is your go-to approach for family therapy?

I use family systems because it is well-researched and has been helpful in counseling the small number of families I have in the past.

What tools do you teach in family therapy?

I teach about the expression of feelings and communication skills.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy?

I see progress when the family as a whole starts to get along and communicate better.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement family therapy?

Practice communication skills and expression of feelings in between sessions at home.

What should someone do to prepare for starting family therapy?

To prepare for therapy, I encourage the family to discuss their goals and wishes and bring them to therapy first session.

Starting Family therapy

What is family therapy?

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.

How does family therapy work?

Thriveworks family therapists in Midland, TX 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.

What is the most effective family therapy?

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.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

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.

What is included in family therapy?

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.

What is the success rate of family therapy?

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.

Is family therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks therapists in Midland, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does family therapy last?

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.

Need more help deciding?

Through therapy, family members can learn better methods to communicate, resolve conflict, and increase their mutual respect. Ultimately, they can build better bonds and make their family system stronger.

When Is the Right Time To Seek Family Therapy?

Reasons to consider family counseling include:

  • Communication between family members is fractious or has evaporated
  • Some family members behave without thinking of others and don’t seek change
  • Parents disagree about ways to discipline their children
  • Kids have developed significant rivalries or resentments
  • Behavioral issues among kids are affecting the entire family
  • The house is too small for an extended family, which has caused strife
  • Children of divorced parents have difficulty blending into a new household

Some families find resolving these problems a challenge to do alone. If you’re in that position, consider making an appointment for family therapy at Thriveworks in Midland, TX.

How Families Benefit From Therapy

Family therapy sessions are designed to teach productive ways to manage conflict and improve communication. Through counseling, family members might learn how to solve particular problems, how to set healthy boundaries, and what to say in difficult situations to ease the tension.

The type of treatment your family receives will depend on the specific issues you’re facing and your goals for therapy. How can family counseling help you? Find out by contacting us at Thriveworks in Midland, TX.
