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.

Couples therapy is aimed at helping couples fix problems or improve their relationship. Bernadette Hernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor at Thriveworks Counseling in Milford, CT, explains that “the elements that create a foundation for a strong partnership, including but not limited to communication, conflict resolution, trust, intimacy, and respect for one another,” are discussed. These couples might be married, recently engaged, or newly dating; they might have serious issues that threaten the current state of their relationship or be interested in learning how to resolve future conflicts. Couples therapy is led by therapists with specific experience working with couples, such as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT).
If you decide to work with a couples therapist at our office, your therapist will design your experience based on your relationship needs and goals. After understanding what you and your partner are looking to get out of therapy, they might decide to use emotionally focused couples therapy, couples therapy worksheets, and other couples therapy exercises. Let’s delve into each:
The real question is who shouldn’t receive couples therapy! Here at Thriveworks Counseling, we believe that everyone can benefit from working with a therapist or counselor. And just as we can benefit from working on our personal health and growth with a professional, we can benefit from working on our relationship health and growth with a professional too.
The bottom line is that if you and your partner believe you can benefit from working with a couples therapist, couples therapy can prove valuable. Your therapist will structure therapy around your relationship’s needs and goals. For example, couples therapy might help you and your partner to resolve or manage specific issues.
Courtney Buchanan, a Licensed Professional Counselor at our Milford office, says the following are common: “Expectations each individual has in the relationship. Love languages. Financial and budgeting struggles. Compromise. Infidelity. Life transitions (i.e. buying a house, having kids, retiring, kids leaving the home, returning to school). Managing outside relationships with friends and family.” But this is just the short list. What you need to remember is that every couple faces their share of problems. As long as you stay determined to work through them together, your relationship has a bright future. Consider working with a couples therapist at Thriveworks Milford in New Haven to continue to build your relationship’s health and happiness.
