Marriage counseling FAQs

What is marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Winston-Salem, NC 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 Marriage counseling include:

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

How does marriage counseling work?

Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling conducted in person or online?

Marriage 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.

How long does marriage counseling last?

On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Winston-Salem, NC work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

Should We Go to Marriage Counseling?

When spouses struggle to connect, they may wonder if it’s time to seek help. There is no right or wrong time to start therapy. Couples choose different times to begin. Here are a few reasons some spouses start marriage therapy:

  • One or both spouses have cheated: Affairs can destroy a marriage, introducing pain and distrust. Whether spouses want to continue the marriage or divorce, marriage therapy can guide the process.
  • One spouse wants to change the other: People cannot change others, only themselves. Marriage counselors teach spouses to set boundaries and focus on personal growth.
  • There is too much or no tension in the relationship: Healthy relationships balance positive and negative interactions. Marriage therapy helps couples learn skills to address issues, resolve them, and move forward.

My Therapist is amazing. After having to cancel my sessions due to losing my insurance. Almost 2 years later, I requested to pick back up with him. He gave me the tools I needed to change my life and I couldn’t be more thankful.

★★★★★
Dr Kluttz is very supportive but does not mince words. She tells me truths and doesn't just say what is the easiest thing for me to hear and uses real life experiences to help me with coping skills. The scheduling is always very easy with Thriveworks as well if I need to change from in person to zoom or reschedule/cancel.
