The singer Bob Marley once stated, “Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” There’s probably not a family in existence that hasn’t experienced some degree of internal distress. Family members can’t help but hurt each other. That’s because families are the crucible within which all of our growing up happens. They should be a safe place to make mistakes, discover our identities, and learn to be the best versions of ourselves. But because those processes don’t take place in isolation, there can be casualties. Family relationships often change, and sometimes suffer. But hopefully everyone emerges wiser and more closely-knit than ever. 

At Thriveworks in Nashua, NH, family therapy can help people deepen their bonds by providing an emotionally secure forum in which everyone can speak openly and securely about their own experiences. Family counseling can help family members with problem solving, specific issues, and treatment plans that can reconnect people in healthy ways. The fully licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) at Thriveworks are mental health professionals who have extensive training in family therapy fundamentals like communication, attachment, and conflict resolution. They treat each family with compassion and insight, often getting effective results in fewer than 12 sessions.

What Is Family Therapy? 

Marriage and family therapy is group therapy for people in intimate relationships. It aims to improve communication, heal estrangements, and help everyone feel heard and valued by their loved ones. All kinds of families come to therapy at Thriveworks in Nashua, NH. Family members don’t need to be unhappy or in crisis to benefit from these professional mental health services. That being said, it’s often a specific issue that first brings a family to therapy. These issues include the following:

  • Mood disorders like postpartum depression
  • Anxiety 
  • Bereavement
  • Financial stress
  • Marital stress
  • Rebellion
  • Juvenile delinquency or crime
  • Estrangements
  • Conflicts and tension
  • Emotional or verbal abuse
  • Chronic illness 
  • Caregiver burnout
  • Eating disorders
  • Behavioral problems 
  • Neurodiverse children issues
  • Substance abuse
  • Codependency
  • Perfectionism
  • Unhealthy parenting styles

What Is the Role of a Counselor in Family Therapy?

In family therapy at Thriveworks in Nashua, NH, a fully licensed, highly qualified counselor’s job is to facilitate open and honest discussion between family members. The counselor makes sure everyone gets a chance to share their own perspective. The counselor helps ensure that family members understand each other. Then the counselor looks for solutions that everyone can agree on. 

Different families come to therapy with different goals. Some of the most common therapy objectives are the following:

  • To heal or reconcile
  • To improve rapport
  • To reduce conflict and tension
  • To forgive, or ask for forgiveness
  • To establish healthy boundaries
  • To manage anger
  • To build trust in each other
  • To explore the roots of misunderstandings 
  • To find individual support

Sometimes family therapy reveals problematic areas where someone could benefit from individual counseling, whether that addresses someone’s alcohol use disorder (AUD), depression, or anxiety. A therapist might refer a family member for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), for example. Or they may find that someone could benefit from a Thriveworks psychiatrist or a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). 

Can You Do Family Therapy Online?

You can absolutely do family therapy online. Virtual therapy is just as effective as traditional in-person therapy, but has the added benefit of convenience and comfort for many families. For example, online counseling means that everyone doesn’t have to be in the same room at the same time. Individuals can video conference from their own rooms, in their own homes (if they live separately). Kids who are in college can still participate in therapy sessions. Online counseling at Thriveworks in Nashua, NH is a secure, HIPPA-compliant, and convenient way for families to meet and discuss sensitive issues without sacrificing quality of care.
