Questions about counseling - 04/03/12 07:41 PM
My husband has agreed to get counseling for some of his anger and other issues prior to us trying to work on our relationship. He has found a few nearby and that may be covered by our insurance but they all seem to have very different backgrounds and offer different types of services.
Does anyone have any experience to know what type of counseling works best for anger management and relationship issues? If he can work through this, we would eventually like to enroll in the MB program or therapy, but for now, this has to come first.
The links he sent me include therapists that specialize in:
-Psychotherapy - This person has a Master in Social Work, and a Bachelor in Psychology
-Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy - within the practice they have licensed psychologists with PhD, psychology aides, professional clinical counselors, licensed social workers, etc.
-Clinical/Social Work - Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor (LISW-S) and specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Therapy and Solution-focused therapies.
There are probably others, but those are what I have for now. It seems that the 3 practices have completely different focuses and methods to treatment, but I am trying to get some advice on what works best. Thanks for any advice.
