When to Consider Couples Counseling

Couples seek relationship counseling for various reasons. Common issues addressed in therapy include:

  • Lack of intimacy
  • Different parenting styles
  • Jealousy and trust issues
  • Differing viewpoints and life goals
  • Financial challenges
  • Major life changes
  • Infidelity
  • Substance abuse
  • Physical or mental illness

These problems, if left unaddressed, can cause significant harm to your relationship. Our expert marriage and family therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Thousand Oaks, CA can help you improve communication and provide tools to foster a strong, loving partnership.

How Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling Work

Whether your relationship needs a little attention or is at a breaking point, working with a licensed couples counselor can make a significant difference. Your first session will typically be an information session where the therapist listens to your concerns and goals. This safe, confidential space allows you to discuss sensitive issues, whether you choose video sessions, phone calls, or in-person therapy.

Common Couples Counseling Techniques

Some of the most effective techniques used in couples counseling include:

  • The Gottman Method: Focuses on addressing criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling by helping couples express appreciation, build trust, and manage conflict.
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Aims to improve interactions, deepen emotional bonds, and build on emotional responses.
  • Narrative Therapy: Helps couples separate themselves from their problems and create a new narrative for positive change.

Therapists may also assign “homework” to reinforce positive behaviors and deepen your connection outside of sessions.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
