My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is solution-focused. I find the best benefit in this approach because every relationship is different, and each couple holds a unique set of beliefs about what a relationship should look like, allowing each couple to uncover their own goals and hopes for the future.
In couples/marriage counseling, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they state they are using the tools they have learned in therapy. I will notice that couples laugh more during sessions and appear as a team rather than two separate individuals.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with recommended readings, individual therapy, and practicing exercises and tools learned in therapy.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can reflect on your relationship historically. Take time to think about the areas of your relationship that need improvement but also focus on the areas of strength in your relationship as we want to build on this foundation moving forward.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Are you considering attending marriage therapy? As the years go by, ups and downs in any relationship aren’t uncommon, but that doesn’t make them a breeze to deal with. Know that you and your spouse certainly aren’t the only ones experiencing challenges, and that support is available when you’re ready. In fact, now may be an opportune time to consider seeing one of our Quincy, MA marriage counselors, couples therapists, or relationship experts!
The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists advises that if you’re struggling with stress, unhappiness or issues in your relationship, the sooner you and your husband or wife begin counseling, the more likely you are to have a positive outcome. Why wait until things start feeling worse between you? Reach out today to schedule an appointment with Thriveworks Quincy.
Regardless of how much you love each other, you and your spouse aren’t going to agree on everything all the time. Arguments are normal, and outside factors like stress at work, health worries or issues with friends can end up putting additional strain on your marriage.
Quite often, couples who are experiencing problems wait too long to pursue therapy because they don’t think the situation is “bad enough” to require it. But why let small issues come between you? If you love your partner and are feeling stuck to address what’s bothering you, counseling is well suited to getting you back on track. You may even want to think of it as an investment in your future happiness.
While the circumstances surrounding your situation are unique to you and your spouse (or partner), there’s a good chance you might be dealing with what’s known as a common relationship issue. While the specifics are different, many couples disagree over matters such as:
At Thriveworks in Quincy MA, expect a safe and supportive environment where you can address your challenges with a sensitive and pragmatic therapist.
Many couples who see marriage therapists at Thriveworks Quincy, MA have otherwise great relationships, but there are some occasions when despite their best efforts, things just don’t work out. It might not be what you dreamed of on your wedding day, but if you do decide to separate, our therapists can still provide support and guidance throughout such a tough transition.
Whatever you decide, seeing our couples counselors can serve to strengthen your marriage or result in a less stressful and acrimonious separation. If you have property to divide, pets to share or especially children to co-parent, this is an ideal situation for spouses who do go their separate ways.
Seeing a therapist is especially ideal for those couples that know that something just isn’t right between them, but are struggling to find answers or come up with an appropriate solution. Fresh ideas and support are available if you’re feeling at a loss for a fix.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, would you like to address them in an effective and respectful way that enables you to look to the future together? If you and your spouse could benefit from participating in Thriveworks Quincy, MA couples counseling, don’t hesitate to get in touch. You will be delighted to discover how much healthier your relationship could be.
