Our Approaches to Marriage Counseling
There are several main therapeutic approaches to marriage counseling, each offering unique techniques and perspectives to help couples improve their relationships. Here are some of the methods our marriage counselors in Chicago are versed in using.
- Gottman Method: Based on extensive research, this approach focuses on building relationship strengths and managing conflicts through practical tools and exercises.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Focuses on creating secure emotional bonds and improving attachment between partners by addressing emotional responses and interactions.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps couples identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, improving communication and problem-solving skills.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Concentrates on identifying and achieving specific goals by focusing on solutions rather than problems, fostering a positive outlook.
- Narrative Therapy: Encourages couples to reframe and rewrite their relationship stories, separating themselves from their problems and creating a new, empowering narrative.
- Discernment Counseling: Discernment counseling is for people who are considering filing for divorce or separating but aren’t sure if it’s the right path for them. They want to take one more look at their relationship before making a permanent decision with long-term consequences or they want to avoid a painful breakup. Often one partner wants to work on the relationship (the “leaning in” partner) and the other does not (the “leaning out” partner).
