My go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling is building strong communication skills. I find the best benefit in building up communication skills because all relationships and intimacy are built on effective self-expression and understanding of the other—the two sides of communication.
In couples/marriage counseling, I like to use tools designed around effective communication, such as:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they find that they are able to have disagreements in important discussions without resorting to unproductive fighting.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by re-dating each other and removing the assumptions that have led to previous relationship difficulties.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can reflect on where you want to see the relationship go over the next six months, year, or more!
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:
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.
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.
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.
