Some of the more common approaches to couples counseling are emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. EFT is focused on helping you and your partner to strengthen your bonds, while the Gottman Method is more focused on equipping you and your partner with problem-solving skills.
Some common tools in couples counseling are: identifying feelings, exploring the past, expressing gratitude, and learning about love languages.
A couple is making meaningful progress in counseling when they're able to report having stronger bonds and productive results when disagreeing about something.
To supplement couples counseling, a couple can commit to reading books recommended by their counselor and/or participate in group therapy when their individual therapist is unavailable.
To prepare for starting couples counseling, a couple should identify specific and achievable goals.
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:
