My go-to approach for helping couples in marriage counseling is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Gottman therapy. I prefer this approach because it integrates practical techniques from CBT to address unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to relationship distress. Additionally, I find the Gottman method beneficial because it provides research-based strategies to enhance communication, strengthen emotional connection, and navigate conflicts effectively. By combining these approaches, I can tailor therapy to address both the cognitive and emotional aspects of the relationship, leading to more meaningful and lasting change.

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.
