Unlike other forms of therapy that analyzes problems, symptom pathology, and past life events, Solution-Focused Therapy is a strengths-based approach that concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring options for the future. Solution-Focused Therapy believes that you have the resources and strengths to solve and overcome problems. Goal-setting is the foundation of solution-focused therapy—the first step is to identify and clarify goals before exploring the action steps and strategies necessary to resolve problems.
