Brief Solution Focused Therapy

At Jacobson Community Mental Health, we believe in harnessing the strengths and resources within each individual to foster positive change. Brief Solution Focused Therapy is a practical, goal-oriented approach designed to help clients identify and work towards their desired outcomes.

What is Brief Solution Focused Therapy?

Brief Solution Focused Therapy is a short-term therapeutic approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. Rather than delving into the history of issues or exploring past traumas, SFT focuses on what clients want to achieve and how they can get there. This method is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity to create meaningful change in their lives.

Key Principles of SFT

Focus on Solutions

SFT encourages clients to envision their preferred future and explore the steps necessary to reach it. By concentrating on solutions rather than problems, individuals can identify effective strategies and resources they may already possess.

Client Strengths

Every individual has strengths and successes that can be leveraged for growth. SFT helps clients recognize these assets and use them to overcome challenges.

Future-Oriented

The therapy sessions are directed toward future possibilities and outcomes. This forward-thinking perspective empowers clients to take actionable steps towards their goals.

Collaborative Approach

SFT is a partnership between the therapist and the client. Through open dialogue, the therapist helps clients articulate their goals and collaboratively develop plans to achieve them.

How SFT Works ?

During SFT sessions, clients will engage in conversations that explore their goals and envision their future. The therapist may use specific techniques, such as:

Miracle Question:
Clients are asked to imagine what their life would look like if their problems were solved overnight.
Scaling Questions:
Clients rate their progress or feelings on a scale, helping them recognize small changes and improvements.
Exception Finding:
Exploring times when the problem was less severe or absent helps clients identify strategies that worked in the past.

Who Can Benefit from SFT?

Brief Solution Focused Therapy is effective for a wide range of issues, including:

SFT is suitable for individuals and couples making it a versatile option for anyone seeking to create positive change in their lives.
