What is Couple Therapy?

While the technique of couple’s therapy can vary from one licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) to another, the main therapy tends to involve the same basic principles:

  • 5Targeting a specific problem like sexual issues, internet addiction, jealousy.
  • 5Solution-oriented, change-focused interventions in the early stages of treatment.

  • 5A simple compilation of treatment objectives.

Couple Therapy and Counselling at Our Clinic in Burlington

Therapy and counselling is different for every couple. It usually starts with a standard interview related to the history of the relationship and analysis of each partner’s family history, values, and cultural background. Your therapist can use the first few sessions for crisis control depending on the urgency of the situation.

Your therapist then assists in pinpointing the relationship issues, which would then be the focus of treatment. This helps your therapist determine clear treatment goals and a structured plan. During the treatment stage, therapists will allow the couple to gain perspective of the relationship dynamics and each partner’s role in the problem.

Another imperative aspect of a couple’s therapy is altering behavior, habits, and interactions of each partner toward each other. Therapists usually assign each partner goals so they can use the skills they have learned in therapy in their everyday interactions. Improved emotional expression and open communication can, therefore, help partners solve their problems effectively.
