Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

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.
