Marriage Counseling in Midland, NC
Every marriage hits a wall. Arguments that lead us back to the beginning. Noise that becomes deafening than the combat. A gradual separation growing between you, of which you both know not how to halt.
Phil DeLuca, MSW, LCSW, is one of the few marriage counselors in Midland, Concord, or the Charlotte region who has more than 45 years of experience of rebuilding a marriage. His style is far more than conventional talk therapy – practical, research-supported techniques that are delivering tangible outcomes.
Whether you come in together or your partner refuses to participate, Phil can help.
Is marriage counseling right for you?
Before a couple seeks help, most couples take six years after the problems have begun. Six years of bitterness creating, trust destroying and relationship disintegrating. Marriage counseling is effective -but more effective the sooner.
Phil serves couples in Midland, Concord, Monroe, Mint Hill, Indian Trail, and online throughout North Carolina and whose couples are undergoing:
- The same arguments, over and over, with no resolution
- Emotional distance and feeling more like roommates than partners
- Trust broken by infidelity, betrayal, or years of dishonesty
- Communication that always spirals into conflict
- One partner ready to leave, the other desperate to stay
- A marriage that feels stuck — not bad enough to end, not good enough to be happy in
What makes Phil DeLuca’s approach different
Most marriage counseling involves ensuring both spouses talk more and talk better. The UnTalk approach of Phil does otherwise. Instead of training couples on how to communicate with each other, it eliminates the very patterns of communication that are contributing to the harm in the first place.
That is why the method of Phil is efficient even in the situation when one of the partners is not willing to participate. The two people in the room do not have to change a marriage. A single partner who is passionate and who has the right tools will change the whole dynamics.
Sessions can occur either in-office at his Midland, NC office or online via secure video to clients located anywhere in North Carolina – in Concord, Monroe, Charlotte, or further.
Breaking the pursuer-distancer pattern
The pursuer-distance pattern is one of the most prevalent-and harmful patterns in distressed marriages: one spouse drives towards intimacy, the other drags away. The farther one goes the farther the other becomes withdrawn. This is what Phil focuses on stopping before it kills the relationship.
Rebuilding after infidelity
One of the most painful activities a couple can undergo is affair recovery. Phil offers an orderly, caring way of regaining trust not by saying that it has not happened, but by walking through what it entails and jointly determining the next step.
Fixing communication problems in marriage
Learning to say things differently is seldom an improvement of communication. Phil reaches the bottom, the unmet needs, the old wounds, the patterns that both the partners have accumulated over their years, and deals with those.
Saving a marriage when one partner won’t go to therapy
Phil has written the book on this literally. Only the Solo Partner is aimed at the individual who attempts to work out his/her marriage. In case your husband or wife will not agree to consult with a counselor, call Phil. This is among his specialties.
Online marriage counseling in North Carolina
More than 56 percent of couples therapy is now conducted online – and the study demonstrates that the results are similar to face-to-face treatment. Phil also provides safe telehealth counseling services to couples and individuals in North Carolina who would rather do video counseling at the comfort of their homes.
Online sessions can serve the purpose when you and your loved one have different schedules, when you both live in separate locations, or even when you just want the privacy to do so in your own comfort zone.
