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 Longmont, CO 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 Longmont, CO 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.
Family relationships can be a source of great joy, but they can also present challenges. Differences in opinions, values, and lifestyles can sometimes lead to tension. Thriveworks Counseling in Longmont, CO, offers professional support to help you navigate these challenges and strengthen your family bonds.

Families often come to therapy or counseling for a variety of reasons, including social, financial, and emotional stressors. These stressors, if left unchecked, can create long-term issues. Working with a mental health professional can help families find support and resolution during difficult times.
Common reasons families seek therapy include:
Mental health services are accessible for various situations, not just the most severe cases. Seeking help can be empowering and lead to positive outcomes for your family.
Family counseling and therapy can result in happier, healthier families. By working with a licensed counselor, families can gain collaborative skills, set clear boundaries, and discover new perspectives. Here are a few common therapeutic techniques and their benefits:
Bowenian Therapy: Focuses on balancing togetherness and individuality, helping family members manage conflict calmly, form individual identities, and work together to solve problems.
Structural Therapy: Evaluates and reasserts roles within family systems, encouraging parents to create reasonable guidelines for children.
Systemic Therapy: A therapist serves as a neutral third party, sharing new perspectives on disagreements and improving communication and empathy.
Strategic Therapy: A direct, short-term method addressing specific issues, with counselors prescribing homework to change negative behavior patterns.
It’s important to ask your counselor any questions about their experience and methods. Together, you can create a tailored plan for your family, which may include individual sessions or additional support for specific mental health needs.
