Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Davie, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Davie, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
At Thriveworks in Davie, FL, licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) and other mental health professionals with training in family therapy can help couples or family members enhance their bonds and reinforce their strengths.

Family therapy can also help improve communication, solve problems, and teach family members how to see each other’s points of view. Family therapy can help maintain healthy relationships, not just repair those that feel broken.
The best way to conduct a family therapy session is to talk first about objectives. What are everyone’s specific goals for therapy? At Thriveworks in Davie, FL, clients come to family therapy with a variety of goals in mind, including the following:
Treatment plans don’t need to be long-term. In fact, most families are able to find resolution for their problems in 12 sessions or fewer. This is because family therapy is often short term and solution focused.
After exploring everyone’s goals for therapy, a family therapist will use games, exercises, and honest discussion in a safe space to facilitate the advancement of those specific goals. A therapist may use the sessions to uncover interesting dynamics in the family such as the following:
A family therapist doesn’t assign blame to anyone, though they may identify areas where someone could benefit from individual therapy. For example, a parent with depression may need to seek treatment if it becomes obvious that their mood disorder is affecting everyone.
