Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy

Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes finding practical solutions to current problems rather than exploring their causes. It encourages clients to identify times when the problem was less severe and envision their desired future. The therapist collaborates with the client to recognize strengths and resources, fostering optimism and empowerment. SFBT is typically brief, focusing on what can be changed quickly, and aims to help clients develop strategies to achieve their goals efficiently, often leading to lasting positive change by building on existing strengths and successes.
