As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), my go-to approach for helping people in couples therapy is a cognitive behavioral approach. As a therapist, I find the best benefit in helping couples learn about each other, define their expectations, and reframe the way they think in the moment to help change their emotional response and behavior toward their partner over time.
As an LPC, I teach the following tools: active listening, reflective listening, reframing, communication tools and techniques, boundary setting, goal setting, conflict resolution, etc.
As a therapist, I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they are able to use their techniques more effectively, verbalize noticeable changes, and/or meet previously established goals.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by practicing techniques learned during sessions, setting aside time for midweek check-ins with their partner, reading a recommended book, and working on individual recommendations such as starting/continuing individual therapy, self-awareness, etc.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can reflect on the reason for coming to therapy at this time, write down a list of goals for therapy, and bring your important medical information (diagnoses, medications, treatment, etc.).
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.
Being a part of a couple can be an amazing experience, but the experience also brings with it the potential for some of the greatest pain in your life. The closer you get to your partner, the more vulnerable you become; and while that in and of itself is not a bad thing at all, it means that your partner has the potential to hurt you more than anyone else can.
You’ll experience some of the highest highs in your life with your significant other, but to get there, you’ll have to accept that the risk of opening up to them. If you would like some help navigating the ups and downs of you relationship, reach out to Thriveworks Roanoke. We’re here to support you.
Navigating the rough waters of a relationship can be very difficult, especially when you, or even you and your partner, decide to face the challenge without a guide.
