Well MAL, it is dependent on the counselor you get. There are many different approaches to counseling so it's a hard thing to narrow down. No one here can really say what they will ask you for certain. Some may want to delve into the past, family of origin and things like that with their counseling (in general not speaking to marriage or couples counseling specifically) while others don't even consider that and think that just going forward with therapy or counseling and dealing with what's going on today, the behaviors and challenges that are happening without worrying about why. Really you can't know until you get there.
