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

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is identifying communication patterns and teaching couples specific skills to improve conflict resolution, build intimacy, and strengthen their connection. I also find that incorporating humor into couples counseling helps create a more relaxed atmosphere, encourages openness and understanding, and fosters a sense of teamwork. Humor also promotes healing, hope, and a deeper bond between partners, ultimately facilitating a more positive counseling experience.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in marriage counseling to help couples improve their communication, resolve conflicts, gain a better understanding of each other, and strengthen their relationship:

  • Communication skills
  • Conflict resolution techniques
  • Time-out strategies
  • Problem-solving skills
  • Emotional regulation techniques
  • Trust-building exercises
  • Check-in sessions
  • Attachment theory
  • Cognitive behavioral techniques
  • Mindfulness practices

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

Although indicators for progress may differ in relationships, key indicators that a couple is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling is when they have become more aware of negative patterns in their interactions; can articulate how these patterns affect their relationship; can engage in healthier conflict resolution strategies such as discussing issues calmly, brainstorming solutions, and compromising when necessary; and there is increased intimacy and connection.

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

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by practicing communication skills through role-playing and active listening exercises, cultivating resilience by practicing coping strategies, and planning shared experiences to strengthen bonds with their partner.

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

To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can reflect on goals and expectations, assess relationship dynamics by identifying issues and gathering examples, commit to the process by having a mutual agreement to be open-minded, and set a regular schedule for sessions.

Marriage Counseling in Orlando, FL—Marriage Counselors, Therapists

Although many people will instinctively choose to try and resolve their problems alone, professional help in the form of couples or marriage counseling can often prove advantageous for both partners. Many couples find that conflict resolution is easier to achieve under the guidance of a counselor who has no connection and no preconceived ideas about their relationship. Couples therapy or marriage counseling allows them to gain some perspective and become better communicators.

If you think that you and your spouse could benefit from some time in marriage counseling or couples therapy, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Orlando, FL. Our therapists and counselors can serve as that necessary third party, and they come uniquely equipped with tools and techniques that are proven to help couples work through their problems and improve their relationships. To schedule a marriage counseling or couples therapy appointment, just call our office. We’ll be here!

What Is Marriage Counseling?

Couples therapy or marriage counseling is a form of psychotherapy designed to help people involved in an intimate relationship improve their communication with each other and resolve their conflicts. Couples and marriage counseling sessions are typically designed for both partners to attend, although in some cases only one partner may choose to do so in isolation.

Most therapists will focus on teaching the participants how to…

  • Stay calm
  • Become better listeners
  • Negotiate with each other in a constructive manner
  • Avoid conflict escalation
  • And more!

It is important to recognize that couples and marriage therapy won’t offer simple solutions: a counselor is not there to tell partners what to do. The aim of therapy is to educate and allow the couple to reach suitable conclusions on their own. 

When Is It Time to Seek Marriage Counseling?

Many people will perceive couples or marriage counseling as a last resort scenario to save their relationship. The truth is that this type of therapy is often chosen by couples who simply want to keep their relationships healthy, work through any issues that could escalate into serious conflicts in the future, or even to prepare themselves for upcoming marriage. Whether you are in a troubled relationship or looking to develop an even stronger bond with your partner, couples or marriage counseling might be the right option for you.

I am optimistic about working with Monica. I am finding pharmacies are refusing to fill my prescriptions because telehealth providers are out of county. Pharmacy tells me to establish with local providers if I want Rx filled. Not thrilled about that.
