Common approaches to Couples therapy

Susan Jillson

Hear from Susan Jillson, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

View Susan Jillson's profile

What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

I use DBT and I utilize mindfulness because it helps the couples to communicate more effectively and be more aware of their body language as well as their tone of voice when speaking to one another.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I encourage practicing holding space for each other, allowing each person to say what is on their mind or to share their day without being interrupted by their partner, weekly business meetings where the couple can review their individual schedules as well as listing goals/household chores they would like to accomplish in that week, and daily check-ins to talk about the highlights and lowlight of their day.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

I know couples are making progress when they are utilizing effective coping skills that they have identified in sessions.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Couples can practice holding weekly business meetings and daily checks-ins as well as utilizing a communication log if they are having difficulty communicating face to face.

What should someone do to prepare for starting couples/marriage counseling?

I would encourage the couple to talk with one another about what they feel they are struggling with before the session so that they can maximize their time in the session.

Starting Couples therapy

What is couples therapy?

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:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does couples therapy work?

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.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples therapy last?

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 Counseling in Mt. Pleasant, SC—Counselors and Therapists

Being in a relationship with another person is not always easy. Communication problems, disagreements, differing values and issues around trust are struggles many couples face. Relationships are bound up in emotions, which makes navigating these issues even more complex.

Sometimes, we just don’t have the tools we need for addressing and resolving a given problem, such as jealousy, infidelity, broken trust, or financial stress. For a committed relationship to work and thrive, couples often need help learning new strategies and using new tools. This is where couples therapy comes in. At Thriveworks Mt. Pleasant, we can help you and your partner work through the issues in your relationship and create a happier, healthier future. Call us at 843-606-6223 to schedule a session with one of our experienced counselors.

Do We Need Couples Counseling?

Trained, professional counselors can help couples at any stage of their relationship — from those who are recently engaged to those who have been married for years. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a couple or how severe the problem you’re experiencing. The couples therapists at Thriveworks Mt. Pleasant have the knowledge and expertise to help you address your relationship issues. These are just a few of the questions you may be grappling with and that we can help you resolve.

  • Why are we struggling to connect?
  • Is my partner cheating?
  • Why are we constantly fighting?
  • Why are our fights never really resolved?
  • How can we come to agree on finances?
  • How can we resolve conflicting ideas we have about our future?

This is just a short list of challenges your couples therapist can help you address and overcome. Whatever the problem, your counselor will guide you in talking about the problem and implementing an effective plan for moving forward. If you need becoming a stronger and healthier couple, call us today to schedule your appointment. Our phone number is 843-606-6223.

My therapist at Thriveworks, Susan, is warm and and relatable. I am a late-diagnosed autistic woman. I am basically now learning what everyone else learned in kindergarten. I have a history of broken marriages and jobs I was invited to leave because I didn't fit in, to put it mildly. She has helped me in so many ways, and I can now see decisions I made that I thought were just what had happened to me. I feel much more capable and hopeful now. I wish I could have met her years ago. I have gone to many therapists over the years, but now I can see how I can feel hopeful about my life and my relationships with my daughters and my grandchildren.

Susan is my Thriveworks therapist. She is helping me set boundaries and make better choices. I am learning a lot from her. Having Asperger's, I often can be quite blunt. I am gradually learning how to say less but make better connections. She
