I often use CBT, DBT and SFBT. Why? Because CBT and DBT allows one to understand how thoughts impact emotions and behaviors and learning to reframe those thoughts enables healthier functioning. SFBT is client-driven and has faith in the client's ability to achieve their goal and/or desired outcome using past successes and support.
