My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is the Gottman Method because the interventions are based on extensive research and have been shown to be highly effective. I also supplement with other research-based strategies and techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy when relevant.
The Gottman Method is based on the Relationship House theory, which focuses on nine specific elements of a healthy relationship: getting to know one another's inner psychological worlds, building and expressing appreciation, noticing and responding when a partner is seeking attention and affection, cultivating a positive perspective, learning techniques for responding to conflict (such as communication and emotional regulation strategies), sharing and supporting life dreams and goals, and strengthening trust and commitment.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling because we collaborate together to create specific, measurable, meaningful goals and objectives and continually monitor progress on these objectives and goals together.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with the daily practice of relevant strategies introduced in counseling sessions.
To prepare for your first counseling session, you can reflect on how you show and receive love, communication patterns that you have noticed in yourselves and your respective families, strengths and qualities you appreciate in yourself and in your partner, and several specific things that are holding you back from being your best selves as a couple and as individuals.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
