Starting Couples therapy

What is couples therapy?

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does couples therapy work?

Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.
Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does couples therapy last?

On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.

Need more help deciding?

Relationships certainly come with their fair share of ups and downs. At their best, they can provide the emotional support and physical intimacy we need to feel our healthiest and happiest. But with any two people — no matter how strong the bond — it is common for issues to arise regarding intimacy, communication, trust, and more.

If you think couples counseling may benefit your relationship, Thriveworks Counseling in Vallejo, CA can help. We offer evidence-based treatment options that are customized to your needs and tailored to improve trust and communication. Reach out today to get started.

When Do People Seek Out Relationship Counseling?

Couples may seek out relationship counseling for any number of reasons. Here are some of the most common problems that arise:

  • Lack of intimacy
  • Anger management issues
  • Jealousy and possessiveness
  • Issues stemming from trauma or loss
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Career issues (unemployment or workaholism e.g.)
  • Communication issues
  • Honesty issues (keeping secrets, e.g.)
  • Separation or divorce

If you and your partner are dealing with one or more of these issues and you’re noticing that it’s starting to interfere with your health and happiness, you don’t have to go it alone. Contact Thriveworks in Vallejo, CA to find out how we can help.

What Techniques Do Couples Therapists Use?

Marriage and couples therapists use several techniques during therapy sessions, depending on the needs and goals of their clients. Here are some examples of methods that are used to help solve common relationship issues:

  • Emotionally focused therapy: This type of therapy helps a couple understand their emotions and guides them to develop a more trusting and meaningful bond.
  • The Gottman Method: The Gottman Method is an approach that uses data-driven interventions to increase respect, affection, and intimacy.
  • Solution-focused therapy: While some forms of therapy focus on the past, solution-focused therapy helps couples resolve present conflicts and improve their current circumstances.
  • Relational life therapy: Traditional gender roles often get in the way of a relationship. Relational life therapy examines these roles and how they come into play in your life.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Cognitive behavioral therapy works by helping each partner verbalize thoughts and beliefs that may be having a negative impact on the relationship. Couples can explore those thoughts and address them together.

Licensed couples therapists are also equipped to teach you distress tolerance skills and coping mechanisms to soften the impact of tough disagreements and frustrating situations. If you’re ready to make your relationship a priority, we’re here to help.

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.
