Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) A licensed marriage family therapist specializes in working with couples and families. These couples counseling professionals focus on helping people repair relationships and develop essential relationship skills.

With due respect to marriage counselors, Counseling is a guidance. Counselors will tell you, suggest you or advise you how to resolve the current issue. They will focus on your specific problem and guide you to resolve it accordingly. Whereas Coaching is more action oriented.

Couples therapy has a very different approach than that of marriage counseling, and here's how. While marriage counseling focuses mostly on the present time and what is happening in the marriage NOW, couples therapy focuses more on the past.

Post marriage counseling inculcates positive behavioral attitudes. Post-marital Counseling helps an individual to be okay even when things aren't really going the way they would like them to be. Instead of focussing and fixating on what they do not have, they are shown a new perspective of what they still do.
