Gottman method couples therapy: Developed by married psychologists John and Julie Gottman, the Gottman method focuses on harmful behaviors that damage relationships and cause marriage problems. These behaviors can include defensiveness, criticism, stonewalling, or contempt.
Solution-focused therapy: This counseling style helps couples find solutions to specific problems or disputes. With the help of a therapist, couples will set and work towards relationship goals.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): While CBT is often used to treat issues like anxiety and depression, studies show it’s an effective form of couples therapy. It can address difficulties with communication and conflict resolution.
Attachment theory: which is a framework that couples therapists use to explore how early relationships with caregivers shape expectations for love and how people view themselves and others. Attachment theory suggests that people can develop four types of attachments based on their early experiences: secure, anxious-preoccupied, avoidant-dismissive, and disorganized.
Christian Couples Counseling aims to develop relational techniques that strengthen communication, consideration, and commitment to one another while enhancing individual spiritual growth
