Process

Why Marriage or Couples Counseling and Therapy? What Couples Counseling and Therapy in Tampa Florida & Brandon Florida Can Help With? Couples and marriage therapy and counseling involves conversations between romantic partners and a professional who provides counseling. They will generally discuss a specific problem or issue that is the reason for seeking counseling, as well as goals for working together. The process then involves strategies and learning skills to improve the relationship, such as communication skills, problem-solving skills, and strategies for discussing differences and overcoming problems together.


Is Couples Counseling Always Done Together? Each partner may talk with the therapist individually before meeting together. Depending on the situation, counseling and talk therapy may both be undertaken together or in some cases it can be individual therapy and couples therapy alternating.

Professionals Who Practice It

Couples and marriage therapy and counseling can be provided by licensed Mental Health Counselor L.M.H.C, Licensed Clinical Social Worker LC.S.W, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists L.M.F.T and Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns. Registered Mental Health Counselors can be used since they are under direct supervision of a Licensed Supervisor and the cost can be a lot less.


All therapists have a Masters Degree in Counseling. They have to complete a student internship to get their Masters Degree. Then they have to do a 2 year Registered Internship through the State under guidance of a Licensed Supervisor and pass a state board exam, much like doctors do.
