FAQ

Who can benefit from couples therapy at Carolina Counseling Co.?

Our services benefit couples at any stage of their relationship, whether dealing with specific issues, facing external stressors, or wishing to strengthen their bond and deepen their understanding of each other. According to the American Psychological Association, counseling that utilizes Emotionally- Focused Therapy (EFT) is effective and helpful for 75% of couples. However, only 19% of couples actually seek couples therapy. The average couple waits 6 years before seeking professional help for their relationship- another reason not to delay. Therapy works if you both put in the work!

Does insurance cover couples therapy?

Couples Therapy is not usually covered by health insurance because it’s not deemed “medically necessary”.  In order for coverage to apply, a mental health diagnosis is required. We are a self pay practice and do not bill insurance.

What can we expect in a typical couples counseling session?

Sessions provide a safe and supportive environment to explore relationship dynamics, communicate feelings and concerns, and work collaboratively with your therapist to resolve issues and improve relationship satisfaction and make you both feel heard and understood. Your therapist may pull from various modalities and interventions to best suit each couple. Common modalities we utilize are EFT, Gottman, CBT, Narrative, and Attachment based therapy.

How long does couples therapy typically last?

The duration varies based on the couple’s needs and goals. Some couples report significant improvements in a few sessions, while others may engage in longer-term therapy. Research suggests that couples do not report feeling significant differences in their relationship until the 4th or 5th couples session. Our therapists work with each couple to determine the most appropriate timeline.

Do we both need to be present for every therapy session?

Ideally, both partners should be present for each session to ensure effective communication and progress. However, individual sessions may also be beneficial and can be arranged as part of the overall therapy plan.

What if one partner is hesitant about attending therapy?

It’s common for one partner to be uncertain about therapy. We recommend scheduling an initial consultation to address any concerns and provide a clearer understanding of how therapy can benefit your relationship.

How can therapy help if one partner has mental health issues?

If one partner is dealing with mental health issues, our therapists are trained to address these concerns within the context of couples therapy. We provide support and strategies for both partners to navigate the impact of mental health on their relationship. Your therapist may recommend individual therapy for one or both individuals. We have seen the best outcomes for couples therapy occur when one or both parties have engaged in individual therapy in addition to couples therapy.

Are therapy sessions exclusively focused on problem-solving, or do you also explore positive aspects of the relationship?

While we address specific issues, we also reinforce positive aspects of the relationship. Focusing on strengths and positive interactions is integral to fostering a healthy and resilient partnership.

Can you help couples considering separation or divorce?

Yes, our therapists are experienced in working with couples at all stages of their relationship. Whether seeking to strengthen their bond or considering separation, or are navigating child custody concerns, we provide a supportive environment for navigating these decisions.
