Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Therapists

How do I choose the best couples therapist in Chicago for my relationship?

The most effective types of couples therapy include:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Helps couples strengthen emotional bonds and resolve conflicts.
Gottman Method – Based on research, this approach focuses on improving communication, increasing intimacy, and reducing conflict patterns.
Cognitive-Behavioral Couples Therapy (CBCT) – Helps couples change negative thought patterns and behaviors that affect their relationship.
Imago Relationship Therapy – Encourages partners to explore childhood experiences that shape their interactions and conflicts.

What should we expect during our first couples therapy session?

Walking into your first session might feel nerve-wracking, but it’s a safe space for both of you to share your concerns and goals. Your therapist will likely ask about your relationship history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. They’ll help set expectations and establish a plan tailored to your needs. The goal isn’t to assign blame but to understand patterns, improve communication, and work toward healthier interactions.

How long does couples therapy usually take to see results?

Every relationship is different, so the timeline for progress varies. Some couples notice improvements in just a few sessions, while others may need several months to work through deeper issues. Consistency is key—regular sessions and practicing new communication strategies outside of therapy can accelerate progress and lead to lasting change.

Do Chicago couples therapists offer both in-person and virtual sessions?

Many couples therapists in Chicago offer both in-person and virtual sessions to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Virtual therapy can be a great option for busy couples or those who prefer the flexibility of meeting from home. In-person sessions provide a dedicated space for deeper connection and focused discussions. Whatever your needs, you can find a therapist who offers the right format for your lifestyle.
