Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Cary, NC 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 Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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.
Marriage 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 counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Cary, NC work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Without a doubt, every marriage has good times and bad. That is why most people include these promises in their marriage vows—for better or worse, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer. Difficulties are a guarantee. While there is no way to bypass marital conflict, there is a way to make it more bearable: ask for help. Skilled marriage therapists can often pinpoint the relational issues that are plaguing the marriage and equip each partner with the skills to course-correct.
The marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Cary have helped many people work through the conflict and recover love within their marriage. There are never guarantees, but many marriages become stronger through marriage counseling. Reach out today for help.
The famous psychologist Dr. John Gottman has studied marriages for decades, and he has identified four problems that can plague marriages. He has dubbed them “The Four Horsemen” because if these behaviors continue without intervention, they can end a marriage. They are especially toxic, but they can also be recognized and corrected. The Four Horsemen are stonewalling, defensiveness, criticism, and contempt. This is a picture of what they may look like within a marriage:
According to Cindy Goulding, a Licensed Behavioral Counselor at Thiveworks in Cary, marriage counseling is a collaborative approach between you and your partner and your therapist. “Marriage counseling addresses important qualities in a healthy relationship, including getting emotional needs met, actions matching words, trust, open and honest communication. We discuss healthy ways to communicate and express feelings in a safe setting and learn ways to feel vulnerable with each other to improve intimacy and trust in the marriage. Setting healthy boundaries and having realistic expectations of each other is also processed in the counseling sessions.”
The first step toward a healthier relationship may be recognizing these four horsemen, and the second step may be learning new habits. When spouses are willing, these toxic patterns can be replaced with healthy connection. How? Marriage therapists have a number of exercises that can help spouses, but a few may include…
