How is Solution-Focused Therapy Different?

Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on unpacking the root causes of your struggles, solution focused Therapy takes a different approach. Rather than asking, “What’s working and how can I do more of that?”

This method is all about forward movement. it doesn’t ignore the past, but it doesn’t let the past define your future either. Instead, it encourages you to:

  • You will be able to envision the future you want
  • You’ll be able to recognize the strengths you already have
  • In additon to that you will be able to make small, consistent changes that build momentum.

At our Scottsdale office, we use Solution-Focused Therapy to help individuals feel empowered, capable, and supported without getting stuck in over analysis or self doubt.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Play Therapy

      What is Solution-Focused Therapy?

      Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that focuses on what’s working and how to build on it. Rather than exploring your past in depth, this therapy helps you identify strengths, set goals, and take practical steps forward.


      How is Solution-Focused Therapy different from traditional therapy?

      Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on past issues or diagnosis, Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes solutions, progress, and small actionable goals. It’s future-focused and designed to create real change quickly.


      Who is a good fit for Solution-Focused Therapy?

      This therapy is ideal for individuals who feel stuck, want to gain clarity, or are seeking tools to manage anxiety, stress, or transitions. It’s also great for people who want a practical, forward-moving approach without diving too deeply into past trauma.


      How long does Solution-Focused Therapy typically last?

      Because it’s a brief model, many clients begin seeing results within just a few sessions. The exact length depends on your goals, but it’s designed to be efficient, supportive, and effective without long-term commitment.


      Will I still have space to talk about how I feel?

      Yes. While the focus is on solutions, your therapist will still hold space for your emotions and experiences. The goal is to validate your feelings while helping you move forward in a focused and empowering way.


      Can Solution-Focused Therapy be used with other therapy approaches?

      Absolutely. Many therapists integrate Solution-Focused techniques into other modalities like CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed care. We’ll tailor your treatment to meet your needs.

      Is Solution-Focused Therapy available via telehealth?
