A practical, forward-looking approach that helps you create meaningful change, starting now.
What Is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented, strengths-based approach that helps you move toward what is working in your life rather than staying stuck in what isn’t. Instead of spending extensive time analyzing your past, SFBT focuses on the future you want to create and the small, meaningful steps that can help you get there.
At Positively Psyched, SFBT sessions are collaborative, empowering, and intentionally efficient. This approach is ideal for clients who want clarity, direction, and practical strategies they can apply right away.
SFBT is grounded in the belief that you already have strengths and resources within you, we simply help you access and use them more intentionally.

- Anxiety & overwhelm
- Life transitions
- Stress management
- Relationship or communication challenges

How SFBT Works
1. Clarifying Your Goals
Your therapist will help you identify what’s most important to you and define the changes or outcomes you're hoping for.
2. Focusing on Strengths
Instead of diving into problems, we look at your existing strengths, past successes, and what’s already working, even if it’s small.
3. Creating Practical Steps Forward
Together, we develop simple, realistic steps that move you toward your goals quickly and effectively.
4. Building Momentum
Each session builds on your progress. You’ll gain tools that help you feel more capable, confident, and in control of your next steps.
