Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Focus on What’s Working. Move Toward What’s Next.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a future-oriented, strengths-based approach that helps you create meaningful change—without spending months unpacking the past. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, SFBT helps you identify what’s working and how to do more of it.

This therapy is ideal for individuals looking for clarity, direction, and practical steps forward—especially when you feel stuck but don’t want long-term therapy.

How SFBT Works

SFBT is based on a simple but powerful idea: You already have the strengths and resources to solve many of your challenges. Your therapist will help you:

  • Identify what’s already going well

  • Clarify your goals and what “better” looks like for you

  • Highlight past successes and strengths

  • Take small, actionable steps to move forward

Even small shifts in perspective or behavior can lead to significant results.

SFBT Can Help With:

  • Life transitions and decision-making

  • Relationship challenges

  • Anxiety and stress

  • Low motivation or confidence

  • Feeling “stuck” or uncertain about the future

  • Short-term support needs or goal setting

This approach is ideal for clients looking for focused support, often over a shorter time frame.

What to Expect in SFBT Sessions

SFBT is structured, supportive, and highly collaborative. In your sessions, you’ll:

  • Set specific, realistic goals

  • Explore past successes and what made them possible

  • Focus on solutions—not problems

  • Gain tools and insights you can apply right away

Many clients see noticeable progress in just a few sessions. SFBT can also be combined with other therapeutic approaches for ongoing support.

Create Change—One Step at a Time

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start. SFBT helps you tap into your strengths, clarify your direction, and take practical steps toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.
