Go-to approaches for couples therapy include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, Imago therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Couples can expect to learn improved coping skills, improved and effective communication patterns, and regulation skills in therapy.
A couple will know they are making progress when they are able to understand one another, manage conflict more successfully, and communicate in effective and healthy ways.
Couples can engage in individual therapy in tandem with their couples therapy treatment. They can also work on their own hobbies and emotional regulation, which can help to support couples in harder moments.
To prepare for couples counseling, come with some ideas about what you’d like couples therapy to help with, and what changes you’d like to see as a couple.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Sometimes working through the challenges we encounter in our romantic relationships proves difficult. We might try our best to talk through a disagreement aWhat tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?nd compromise along the way—but we fall short of resolving the conflict. In these instances, working with a relationship expert can prove valuable.
Thriveworks Counseling in Attleboro, MA has a team of relationship experts. In addition to our couples therapists, we have marriage counselors and premarital counselors, all of whom have valuable relationship skills and experience. Our couples therapists are capable of helping couples at all stages of their relationship. They can help you if you and your partner are newly dating, if you’re engaged, or if you’re married!

In most areas of life, we don’t shy away from asking for help when we need it—say, when we can’t find something at the grocery store or we’re lost and need directions. Or, even when we’re suffering physically, from an injury or illness. In these instances, we reach out and appreciate the help that we are given. But the same can’t be said when we run into relationship trouble. Instead of asking for a little help and guidance, we usually keep these problems to ourselves and insist on figuring it out with our partner and our partner only.
In reality, “any couple who believes they are encountering roadblocks for a healthy and supportive relationship should consider meeting with a couples therapist,” explains Oren Shtayermman, PhD, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at the Attleboro office. “The presenting issue may be work-related or about child-rearing and in most cases, it is grounded in communication, perception, and cognitive understanding of what the other person is saying. Meeting with a clinician can help sort any confusion or challenge in a supportive and healthy environment with no bias attached.”
In a nutshell, a couples therapist can provide you with valuable guidance that helps you work through your relationship issues and improve your overall relationship. They will not judge you and your partner for whatever it is you’re going through. They understand, perhaps better than anybody else, that relationships aren’t always pretty. They will focus their efforts on helping you clear the hurdle that’s in front of you. In addition, depending on your relationship dynamic and, your couples therapist might also help you to:

Our deepest relationships can bring us so much love, happiness, and fulfillment. But they can also bring pain, hardship, and difficult emotions like disappointment and anger. It’s important to remember this when we enter a new relationship and to remind ourselves throughout the entirety of it. It is likely that you will, at one point or another, encounter relationship issues such as:
This list could goes on. Relationships can vary from couple to couple. In any case, though, a couples therapist can help you to work through these problems and get back to a happy, healthy place in your relationship.
