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:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples 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.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & 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.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
What happens when the arguments continue and the good parts don’t return? Maybe you and your partner have become so distant or detached that you can’t find your way back. You want to restore the laughter, the affection, and the love but you aren’t sure how.

You might be confused about why your relationship has changed or how you got to this point. If so, a couples counselor can help you get to the bottom of your issues and guide you through certain techniques or types of talk therapy to strengthen your relationship.
The Gottman Method, for instance, helps partners manage their conflict rather than seeking to resolve it completely. Couples who use this form of therapy also learn how to communicate more effectively and increase affection and respect.
Your couples therapist might also employ narrative therapy, in which you and your partner share stories to understand and embrace each other’s experiences. This can be helpful in relationships where judgment has become a negative force.
With emotionally focused therapy, a counselor will guide you and your partner on a path of positive change. This form of therapy focuses on the way you interact and seeks to strengthen the bonds of your relationship. Meanwhile, with relational life therapy, couples can work toward defining their relationship outside the traditional gender roles of society.
