Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a commonly used treatment to help clients create coping strategies to effectively managing stress that can cause or worsen more serious mental health issues. It is a collaborative, strength-based, goal-directed, present and future-oriented, and inclusive approach. In SFBT, you identify your goals for therapy, focus on exceptions and coping strategies/solutions to the problem, and move forward one step at a time on your path to achieving them.

We developed an intensive four weeks long therapeutic program for FTs and HCWs to help manage wellness, rebuild resilience, and take back control by learning to identify and manage triggers in a constructive manner.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. In the most basic sense, SFBT is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.

In London, she participated in an intensive Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy training at the Brief Institute. In a situation where improvement is being sought, we have a conversation to generating positive change.

Sometimes we do not have to dig into all the shit of our past in order to achieve the kind of change we are looking for. We often already possess the skills, resources, and strengths needed to get to where we want to go, and we just need an outside witness to help us see what is already there.

I assist clients in creating realistic and manageable goals to help structure the therapeutic process and facilitate healing with intention.

I believe that Solution Focused Brief Therapy helps clients rely on their strengths on how to move forward, and strays away from highlighting their past and what they are not able to achieve. This approach emphasizes that clients are experts of their own lives and that they do have what it takes to make the changes they desire.

I am passionate about building off of my clients' existing strengths. I believe that within all of us we have the answers to find the solutions we need in our lives. My job is to help you identify those strengths. With Solution Focused Therapy, we will pinpoint specific problems and come up with a plan to tackle them.

Many of my patients complete treatment quickly because they respond well to solution focused brief therapy. It is goal directed, meaning I tell you what I see and teach you tools that change your experience. Sessions are collaborative. I frequently will provide feedback. Clear goals are established in the first session that are measurable. For example, maybe you would like to decrease anxiety and the measure is how many times you leave work situations due to symptoms.

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. This approach concentrates on how your current circumstances and future hopes, instead of focusing on past causes.

Helping patients feel empowered is my number one goal when working with someone, and solution focused therapy is a great modality to do that. Utilizing solution focused therapy along with CBT helps the patient stay on track with their therapeutic goals and see results in real time, which in turn builds confidence for them to keep moving ahead in therapy and challenging additional problems.

Especially helpful when the problem defies easy definition or resolution.

Start with the end in mind. Identify low hanging fruit. What would this look like if it were easy?

I try to get a future picture of life without the problem or when you are handling it better. Trying to identify the actions that a person does during non problematic times are also identified.
