Blueprint Psychology offers Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)—a structured, evidence-informed approach designed to help clients make meaningful change in a shorter period of time. Rather than spending months revisiting past difficulties, SFBT focuses on what you want to be different, what is already working, and the next small steps that move you forward.
Therapy is individualized, collaborative, and intentionally practical. The goal is not just insight, but clarity, momentum, and real-world change you can apply in daily life.
This approach is especially well-suited for individuals who want focused sessions, clear direction, and tools they can use immediately.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy approach that focuses on solutions rather than problems. Instead of spending extensive time analyzing the past, SFBT helps you clarify what you want to be different, identify what’s already working, and take practical steps toward meaningful change.
Traditional therapy often explores past experiences and patterns over a longer period of time. SFBT is intentionally future-focused and action-oriented. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical strategies, and measurable progress—making it an efficient option for clients seeking short-term support.
SFBT is designed to be brief. Many clients attend therapy for a defined period of time based on their goals. The length of treatment varies depending on individual needs, but the focus is always on progress and efficiency rather than open-ended therapy.
SFBT can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, executive functioning challenges, parenting concerns, performance anxiety, and decision-making difficulties. It is best suited for individuals seeking focused, practical support.
Yes. SFBT can be very effective for managing anxiety and stress by helping clients identify coping strategies, build emotional regulation skills, and focus on what reduces distress—rather than reinforcing worry patterns.
Yes. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is available for adolescents and adults. For younger clients, therapy may include developmentally appropriate strategies and, when clinically appropriate, parent consultation to support progress outside of sessions.
Sessions are collaborative and structured. You can expect to clarify goals, review progress, identify strengths or exceptions to challenges, and leave with practical tools or strategies to apply between sessions.
SFBT often includes small, manageable steps or reflections to support progress between sessions. These are practical and tailored to your goals, not overwhelming or time-intensive.
Yes. SFBT is well-suited for telehealth and is offered both in-person and via secure telehealth, depending on availability and client preference.
If it becomes clear that your needs would be better served by a different therapeutic approach—such as long-term therapy, trauma-focused treatment, or a higher level of care—we will discuss appropriate options and referrals to ensure you receive the right support.
SFBT may be a good fit if you want clear goals, practical tools, and focused sessions. An initial intake session allows us to discuss your needs and determine whether this approach aligns with your goals.
To begin, simply request an appointment. We’ll guide you through the intake process and help you determine the best next steps.
