Family therapy FAQs

What is family therapy?

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.

How does family therapy work?

Thriveworks family therapists in Pittsburgh, PA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.

What is the most effective family therapy?

The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.

What is included in family therapy?

In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.

What is the success rate of family therapy?

Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.

Is family therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks therapists in Pittsburgh, PA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does family therapy last?

Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.

She seems to truly listen and is analytical. I appreciate her approach overall and gentle confrontational approach as needed. She challenges you to reframe and consider other ways of handling things.

Truthfully, I really loved how easy it was to become a client but then find a therapist. I connected with mine right away, which made this whole process really simple.

I really appreciate Dzana’s patience. She listened to me and answered all of my questions regarding EMDR eye movement therapy, which I was completely unfamiliar with prior. Not only has it helped me reprocess traumatic events, but the positive cognition we worked on has become my instinctive response to triggers. I am much better now at identifying the feelings causing me anxiety and our sessions have genuinely improved my life!

Grade A experience. Took me a while to finally open up to going in for Therapy. As a male individual theres still sadly a stigma involved with it. But my provider helped me through some tough times, listening and offering excellent guidance through said times.

My therapist is incredibly down to earth and personable. She’s very easy to confide in and challenges my way of thinking. I’ve made far more progress in our therapy sessions than with other providers

★★★★★
Dzana my therapist is amazing. We have been doing trauma work with flash and emdr therapies. I have spent over 50 yrs in therapy. Every session with dzana leaves me feeling productive supported and heard. I always feel better after our sessions and work hard during the week in-between sessions on dbt skills. I would appreciate a way to directly contact my therapist in-between sessions as I have called the main line to cancel within the time frame and my appointment was not canceled but it was rescheduled. I received a fee however I canceled well within the time fram.
