Solution-Focused Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients’ existing strengths and skills instead of problems and psychopathology by tapping into their internal resources using techniques such as the Miracle Question, Scaling, and Exceptions. This seemingly simple yet nuanced approach will help you connect with clients using their language, tracking how they frame problems, and mirroring their skills and assets.
