How often has someone asked you “how are you?” and your automatic response is “fine” but inside your head, you are listing all the times and ways you are not feeling fine? Societal norms keep us from actually sharing in that moment. We move on with our day but not forward. What keeps us from asking for help? Fear of appearing weak or stupid? Is it not knowing where to turn? Who to call? Or you have asked for help in the past, but it was a negative experience? Often times, individuals are not suffering from mental illness, per se, but would benefit in receiving counseling services for life issues like feeling sad or anxious.

I get it. You're probably not here because you want to be. You’re here because you need to be. Maybe your relationship isn’t going well, or work is becoming too stressful. You’re avoiding people you care about and skipping out on things that used to matter. Fear and anxiety can be overwhelming. Guilt and shame feel suffocating. You might be wondering how you even got here. Let’s be real: trauma sucks. PTSD sucks. But recovery and posttraumatic growth is real. It’s not your fault you haven’t figured it all out on your own. This sh-t is hard! If you could have done it on your own already, you would have.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
