Couples therapy FAQs

What is couples therapy?

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:

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

How does couples therapy work?

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.

Is couples therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does couples therapy last?

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.

Houston Couples Therapy—Relationship Counselors in Houston, TX

Are you experiencing a relationship issue that’s causing you and your partner unnecessary stress? Is it putting a strain on your home life, or possibly even affecting your children? If you’re struggling, looking into couples counseling or marriage counseling is a great idea. The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists even advises that the sooner you and your spouse embark upon couples therapy, the more likely you are to successfully resolve your differences.

Thriveworks Counseling in Houston, TX can offer couples therapy right now. Just call our office, and we’ll set you up with one of our skilled and compassionate couples therapists.

Who Can Couples Therapy Help?

Of course, even the strongest couples are likely to experience disagreements at some point. It would be unnatural to assume that you and your partner will always agree on everything! However, if you’re stuck on a certain issue or starting to experience the lows more than the highs, now is a good time to get in touch with a Houston couples counselor.

Many couples hesitate to seek out professional support because they may otherwise have a strong relationship. But why wait until that one issue drags on for so long, everything else starts feeling bad too?

Common Disagreements in Relationships

While every couple’s circumstances are unique, there are common topics that many partners will disagree on throughout the course of their relationship. These could include:

  • Worries about a partner being unfaithful
  • Stress in dealing with a health issue and related expenses
  • Disagreements over how to raise children
  • Different thoughts about the future
  • Unhappiness over a partner who’s lost a job or works too much
  • Arguments about money, including spending and saving.

Or it may be something else entirely! The Houston, TX couples counselor you see may not have dealt with your specific circumstances before, but their wisdom and training will enable them to help you resolve your differences.

How Can a Couples Therapist Help?

The AMFT reports that after attending couples counseling, more than 93% of couples feel that they’re better prepared to deal with any issues that may happen down the road. Wouldn’t you like to find a way to deal with your disagreements in a respectful manner that honors both you and your partner and helps you have a happier future?

Your couples counselor will make sure you feel safe and comfortable in your sessions. This is key to opening up and having these often difficult conversations with your counselor and your partner.

Couples therapy can be short-term or long-term; this depends on the couples’ issues, needs, and goals for counseling.

Ale is so helpful to me. She is armed with plenty of strategies and information. Other providers have asked what makes my heart happy or what is weighing it down. Ale and I just talk and she helps me so much and has plenty of strategies to help me accomplish my challenges
