Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Definition

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on helping clients identify and work towards achieving specific, desired outcomes by emphasizing their strengths, resources, and existing problem-solving skills. SFBT typically involves a series of brief sessions, during which the therapist and client collaboratively explore solutions rather than dwelling on problems or their causes.
