What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Kirsten Ramey
Kirsten Ramey

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I always suggest date nights to help couples rekindle their love.

What is your go-to approach for online therapy?

Kirsten Ramey
Kirsten Ramey

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Online counseling is still new for many clients, but I have been using it even before the pandemic. My go to approach is for psychoeducation, because I want to stress the importance of understanding the benefits of online therapy!

What tools do you teach in family therapy?

Elizabeth Mooney
Elizabeth Mooney

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

I teach the following tools in family therapy:
  • Communication tools (I statements, soft start ups, assertive statements, assertive listening skills)
  • Relationship cycles (Woodsfellow love/fear cycles)

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Elizabeth Mooney
Elizabeth Mooney

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

To prepare for your first therapy session, you can complete any intake materials your therapist may send to assess the current impact anxiety may be having on your daily life. I would also encourage clients to be mindful that anxiety is a human emotion so managing expectations for therapy can be helpful. For example, a therapist/therapy will not be able to “stop anxiety” from occurring. I believe managing expectations can be a helpful first step before beginning treatment.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

Elizabeth Mooney
Elizabeth Mooney

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

When a client begins to note positive occurrences and presents with more positive self-talk about themselves and their management of stressors, therapy may be deemed successful. Clients will likely note more consistent pursuance of enjoyable activities and involvement within their community or support circles. Clients may also report feeling more energetic and motivated when therapy has been successful in treating depression.
