Yes it can

Yes. CBT will challenge your thoughts, biases, and schemas and will help you look into the behaviors that are necessary to change in order to have a better relationship. CBT is a small part of Gottman therapy, that uses an array of techniques for different issues. Try to find a good personality to help you both and hello your relationship.

Be well,

Yes! Cognitive approaches are essential in healthy couple's communication. Often, what is said in a relationship is not what is meant. This "intent vs. perception" breakdown can often lead to the downfall in marriages and/or all relationships. Clarifying messages and cognitive distortions is a key component as a therapist in working with couples.

Yes of course. Any therapy is better than none. A marriage counselor is better experienced in that but then as myself, I do more relationship counseling than anything. Find one you both like. You might have to try a few before you find a good one for the both of you

In my experience, CBT is helpful. I use a holistic and systems approach to therapy connecting the dots and using a variety of tactics to help the marriage.
