Starting Relationship counseling

What is relationship counseling?

Relationship counseling, also known as couples-therapy and marriage counseling, 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 relationship counseling include:

  • Jealousy
  • Trust issues
  • Infidelity
  • Opposing values
  • Different visions for the future
  • Disagreements in parenting
  • Lack of trust
  • Financial distress
  • Sex issues

How does relationship counseling work?

Relationship 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 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.

Is relationship counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks relationship counseling in Detroit is conducted both in person and virtually via online counseling. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.

How long does relationship counseling last?

On average, couples attend relationship counseling for 12 weeks. However, relationship 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.

How Can Couples Therapy or Marriage Counseling Help My Relationship?

Relationship counseling is led by skilled, caring professionals who have expertise in helping couples. Therefore, couples therapy and marriage counseling can help people in many different ways, but the main goals can be divided into the following:

  1. Assist the couple with addressing and managing their problems: Often, couples bring specific challenges in their relationship to therapy. Common relationship issues include poor communication, trust issues, lack of intimacy, disagreements in parenting, financial stress, and differing opinions. These challenges aren’t easy to work through and involve having a vulnerable, honest conversation. Relationship counselors guide these conversations and help their clients to address and resolve the problems at hand.
  2. Prepare for future challenges: The problems that you are experiencing in your relationship at present likely won’t be the last. As we said earlier, every relationship runs into challenges. It’s normal. That said, a counselor can help you and your partner prepare for future challenges and learn to communicate more effectively about your thoughts, feelings, and needs.
  3. Improve your overall relationship: The primary goal of couples therapy and marriage counseling is to help you and your partner or spouse improve your relationship holistically. They will want to talk to both you and your partner to understand problem areas and needs from both perspectives. They will then do whatever they can to help you achieve your personal goals for your relationship and your time in counseling.

Relationship counseling helps couples work through their relationship challenges, better prepare for future problems that may arise, and improve their relationship holistically. If you’re interested in tackling these goals with a couples therapist or marriage counselor, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Detroit, MI.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
