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.
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.

What Does Couples Therapy Look Like?
Couples counseling has one main goal: to help you and your partner tackle your challenges and achieve your goals. In order to do so, your therapist will first start off by assessing you both individually in order to better understand where the cracks are in your relationship. Then with the knowledge they have based on your situations, they are able to create a comprehensive plan of action that focuses on working through your issues, improving communication, and reaching the goals you set in place. To make this happen, they will use their training and expertise to use a variety of different methods to help you tackle things like:
- Anger management
- Poor communication
- Stress management
