When is Marriage Counseling Needed?

We offer evidence-based marriage counseling by trained therapists that focus on elements of compromise, improving communications, and finding solutions for past and present unhealthy patterns of an intimate relationship.

Our online marriage counseling professionals use solution-focused therapy to help you do more of what is already working in your marriage, finding exceptions and using them as the pathway to future solutions.

The therapist works with the couple from the start of marriage counseling in a therapeutic conversation, encouraging them to focus on solutions and look for positive signs of change.

That thread of finding solutions continues throughout the sessions.

A benefit of our solution-focused marriage counseling is its focus on providing tools to fix your problems whether present or future. These are a few types of questions that our solution-focused therapists ask to help you recognize your virtues and strengths:

Coping questions to demonstrate your strengths
Miracle questions to help explain how your life could look
Scaling questions to learn how hopeful, motivated & confident you are

Relationship Counseling – Treatment Techniques

We provide relationship counseling to strengthen existing relationships, explore areas of tension in a relationship, and deal with the issues that arise during interpersonal interactions.

Our counselors use cognitive behavioral therapy in relationship counseling to teach people how to change negative behaviors, thoughts, and feelings by communicating in healthy ways beneficial to their relationship.

These are a few of the most common and effective cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques used in relationship counseling:

Journaling moods and thoughts
Disentangling cognitive distortions
Cognitive restructuring
Exposure & response prevention
Interoceptive exposure
Nightmare exposure & rescripting
Progressive muscle relaxation
Relaxed breathing

Applied cognitive behavior therapy used in relationship counseling can overcome debilitating behaviors that restrict choices and free people to select possibilities that were not available earlier. It increases individual freedom.
