Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Kathryn: I use brief strategic family therapy because it encourages family members to talk to each other and use reframing techniques to reduce conflict.
Kathryn: CBT is commonly used in family therapy because it assists clients with adjusting their self-defeating or irrational beliefs to change their feelings.
Rachel: My preferred approach in helping families is to use the family systems approach and empowerment because often, when there are challenges, every family member is impacted, and some family members need to be empowered to have their voices heard.
Kathryn: Tools I teach in family therapy are setting positive, firm boundaries and the effective expression of feelings.
Kathryn: Effective communication is taught so families have a safe place and way to express their feelings.
Rachel: I teach communication skills so that each member of the family is heard by all the others. I work on teaching assertive communication as opposed to passive, passive-aggressive, or aggressive communication.
Kathryn: Progress is occurring when the family reports that they are communicating effectively with each other.
Kathryn: Progress is occurring when the client reports that they are able to communicate more effectively.
Rachel: I know a client is making meaningful progress when therapy is more collaborative among family members as opposed to having one or more members dominating sessions.
Kathryn: Clients can use the tools they have acquired in therapy in their daily lives.
Kathryn: Clients can follow suggestions from therapy sessions.
Rachel: I encourage clients to practice assertive communication and listening skills outside of therapy.
Kathryn: Clients should prepare to be open and honest about their emotions.
Kathryn: Clients can prepare to be open and honest about their emotions.
Rachel: To prepare for the first family session, the individuals might want to write a list of things they would like to improve upon for their own individual needs as well as collective family needs.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Red Bank, NJ usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Red Bank, NJ offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Thriveworks in Red Bank has family counselors who understand that no family can be perfect. We believe that the sooner we can stop chasing perfection and start chasing unconditional love, the faster we will see real growth in the family unit. Whatever your family shape–biological, adopted, foster, stepfamily, living in one house or two houses or three houses, or anywhere in between, Thriveworks in Red Bank is here to serve you.
Call 732-606-4469 to learn more or schedule a family therapy session today.
