Solution Focused Brief Therapy

I help clients focus on their strengths, resources, and potential solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This approach is particularly effective for individuals seeking quick, practical changes in their lives. I guide clients in setting clear, achievable goals and empower them to move toward positive outcomes, building confidence and momentum in a short period of time.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is an approach I use that helps clients focus on their strengths and resources to move towards their goals . I want my clients to know that they are the expert of their own lives, and that they do already have what it takes to implement change. I collaborate with clients to brainstorm realistic reachable goals they can make in order to get them to where they want to be. I help my clients focus on the present and future in order to help them achieve their goals.

Goal-oriented approach centered on finding solutions. It concentrates on clients' strengths and resources, exploring present and future solutions rather than ruminating on past hurt. This method encourages clients to articulate their desired outcomes, enabling therapists to collaboratively identify and amplify existing strengths.It's a forward-focused, pragmatic approach that emphasizes small, achievable steps toward positive change.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or SFBT focuses on finding solutions in the present time and exploring an individual's hope for the future to find quicker resolution to their problems. This method takes the approach that you know what you need to do to improve your own life and, with the appropriate counseling and questioning, you are capable of finding the best solutions for your future.

Working in the school district for the majority of my career, I had limited time to find solutions to a problem. I used Solution Focused Therapy to achieve solutions to their problems. I worked collaboratively with my students to identify their goals, develop strategies and track their progress.

I have multiple years experience utilizing this therapy style in the school system.

as well as Positive Psychology

I integrate SFBT by focusing on what’s already within you, helping you shift from feeling stuck to finding what’s possible. We won’t get lost in the past, but instead, we’ll look at your strengths, resources, and small victories to build momentum for change. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to help you move toward the life you want—focusing on the practical steps you can take right now to start healing, creating healthier relationships, and breaking free from old patterns.

I was trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy by the experts at the Institute for Solution Focused Therapy and have had success using these skills with clients . This goal focused treatment can help address a wide range of issues and is evidence based.

Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) emphasizes identifying and building on a client’s strengths and resources to create positive change. Rather than focusing on past issues, SFT helps clients envision their desired future and develop practical steps to achieve it. This approach is goal-oriented and empowers clients to find solutions, leading to more immediate and lasting results.

I am committed to helping clients improve their well being and gain self knowledge and awareness in order to create meaningful, joyful, lives. Each person's therapy is individualized collaborative and strength based.

I integrate a variety of tools and techniques into sessions but the top three that I use would fall under CBT, solution focused brief therapy, and ACT.

I am often solution focused and direct.

Change doesn’t have to take years—sometimes, small shifts lead to big transformations. I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, set achievable goals, and focus on practical solutions rather than past struggles. This approach is especially effective for ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders, helping clients build confidence and see measurable progress in a short time.

Solution-focused brief therapy is about focusing on the here and now and on the presenting issue. This is a structured type of therapy that builds on each other in every session and is short-term therapy. As a military spouse, my husband and I tried therapy three times before this therapy modality was used and it changed our marriage for the better. Military families move so much and change is inevitable. This modality allows you to focus on your immediate needs and overcome those obstacles.

Just as this sounds, we are working together to come to a solution that address your need.

SFBT is one of the models I was trained in.
