My go-to approach for helping couples in couples/marriage counseling is an eclectic blend of therapy focusing on processing relationship stressors and triggers, building communication skills, and creating conflict resolution skills to build a stronger connection. I prefer this approach as it allows me to tailor the treatment plan and goals to each couple for their benefit.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:
I know a client and partner is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they are able to communicate better, negotiate conflict well, etc.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by spending time on dates together, starting hobbies together, spending quality time together, etc.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you both may list out your strengths and weaknesses in the relationship, how you both resolve conflict, how you both communicate with each other, how your family of origin has impacted your relationship functioning, etc.
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.
