My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is a holistic approach, combining multiple theories including emotionally focused therapy and aspects of the Gottman method. I find the best benefit in a multifaceted approach to address the unique needs of each couple.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: determining desired outcomes (what is the ideal relationship); communication techniques; nurturing affection and fondness; goal-oriented problem solving; and exploration of emotions, relationship patterns, and coping patterns.
I know clients are making meaningful progress when they develop greater satisfaction and contentment in their relationship.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by implementing the communication tools explored in sessions. They may also choose to utilize workbooks in between sessions.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can determine your desired outcome and think about what your ideal relationship looks like.
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.
