What to Expect for online couples Therapy in Florida
Just like traditional in-person counseling, online couples counseling involves working with a certified couples therapist to address and resolve relationship issues. However, through the use of a secure video chat online couples counseling takes place. This can be very convenient and accessible for couples who have busy schedules or currently living long distances from each other.
During your online couples therapy sessions, you can expect to participate in conversations with your partner that focus on identifying and addressing the specific issues that are affecting your relationship. You may also learn new communication and problem-solving skills that can help you improve your relationship outside of counseling.
What approach do we use?
Here at Balanced Mind Counseling we are trained in a variety of techniques and frameworks to best support each unique couples we serve. Our approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-focused Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to help couples identify and address their needs.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for couples counseling
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that requires identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used to treat individuals with mental health issues. It can also be used in couples therapy to help couples address relationship issues and improve their communication and problem-solving skills. CBT can also help couples identify negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to relationship problems. For example, if one partner tends to catastrophize or jump to negative conclusions, this can lead to unnecessary conflict and tension in the relationship. Through CBT, the couple can work together to identify these patterns and learn more constructive ways of thinking and communicating.
CBT in couples therapy can provide support for partners by setting specific goals for the relationship and working together to achieve them. The certified couples therapist may provide the couple with exercises and assignments to practice new skills outside of therapy sessions.
Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples
Emotion-Focuesd Therapy (EFT) is a form of couples counseling that focuses on emotions and how they impact relationships. EFT aims to help couples identify and express their emotions in a healthy way, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves and their partner.
In EFT, the couples therapist encourages partners to identify patterns of negative interactions and emotions that are contributing to relationship problems. The couples therapist will work to help the couple understand and communicate their underlying emotions, which can enhance the quality of their communication and strengthen their emotional bond.
EFT for couples typically involves three stages of therapy:
De-escalation - This stage involves identifying the negative patterns in the relationship and working to de-escalate conflict and tension.
Restructuring - In this stage, the therapist helps the couple to identify and communicate their emotions in a healthy way. This can lead to a deeper understanding of each other and a stronger emotional bond.
Consolidation - This final stage involves consolidating the gains made in therapy and developing strategies to maintain positive changes in the relationship.
Before your first session, you will receive a questionnaire to help us understand your needs and goals at this time. At the beginning of your first session, as you get acquainted with your certified couples therapist, you will be encouraged to talk about your families of origin, and how you relate to your loved ones and each other as a couple.
Then we proceed to explore your history as a couple. This will likely involve our certified couples therapist asking you questions to get to know you and your partner. As well as to understand the issues that have brought you to couples therapy. Together, you and the couples therapist will set goals for your couples counseling sessions and work to develop a plan to achieve those goals.
