My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is to build rapport with the couple. I want both individuals to feel safe in knowing that I will be partial throughout this process. I find the best benefit in each individual providing their own perspective in each situation because this will allow their partners to know where they are coming from.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when a client is able to make couples therapy a priority and are practicing their new skills when in conflict with their partner.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with using and implementing exercises learned, use worksheets as a script, and do homework assigned
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can have an open mind, be truthful and ask questions about the process.
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.
