Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.

In this 3-hour interactive continuing education presentation for mental health clinicians, Dr. Mollie Innocent-Cupid, LCSW will cover both assessment and intervention for clients of all ages. Therapist participants will learn the foundation of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), the key principles of its theory, and the differences between SFBT and other common treatment approaches. This interactive training will include case examples and experiential prompts to apply assessment and intervention skills. The goal of this training is for participants to leave feeling confident and prepared to apply SFBT effectively in their clinical practice.

This introductory level continuing education webinar is designed to help mental health professionals:

  1. Identify key differences between Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and other common approaches to mental health treatment.

  2. Describe at least two solutions-focused interventions (e.g. experiment invitations, searching for exceptions, previous solutions, compliments).

  3. Explain how to manage progress using scaling.

  • Dr. Mollie did a great job introducing SFBT to our team. The activities and role-play practice was beneficial and easy to remember.

  • The presenter did a great job at making this applicable to a school setting and how we can make better interventions for students/families. It makes me want to practice more and use mor consistently with better fidelity.

  • The program was very informative. I have been trained in SFBT before this event and this was an excellent refresher for me. I also learned some new insights to help deepen my understanding of this model and how to be effective with clients using SFBT. I actually have plans to return to this model with clients where I have been stuck recently.
