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.
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.

How Can Couples Counseling Help My Relationship?
In addition to providing you with specific tools and guidance related to your present issues, the couples therapists at Thriveworks Jacksonville, FL will offer important tools for maintaining a happy, healthy relationship moving forward.
You will likely discuss:
- How to communicate effectively: Oftentimes, our relationship issues stem from poor communication or a lack thereof! We’re confronted with unpleasant emotions and take them out on our loved ones before having a productive conversation about the problem at hand. We can all benefit from taking a few minutes to step back and evaluate the situation. And then approach a conversation with our significant other with patience and openness.
- The importance of maintaining relationship expectations: It’s also likely that your couples therapist will spearhead a conversation about relationship expectations. Many of us adapt unrealistic expectations from TV shows and movies about what a relationship should look like. In reality, relationships aren’t pretty or perfect 24/7. And it’s important to remember this. A couples therapist at Thriveworks Fort Lauderdale can help you manage these expectations.
- Good relationship habits to develop and stick to: In many areas of our life, we develop good habits and then fail to stick to them. We forget about them or put them on the backburner. Your relationship therapist will remind you of the good habits you should implement and stick to in your relationship.
Thriveworks Jacksonville, FL couples therapists and counselors help their clients to resolve present issues, communication more effectively, maintain relationship expectations, stick to good relationship habits, and more.
