At Infinite Path, we offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps individuals focus on their strengths and find practical steps toward positive change. SFBT is based on the belief that people already have the inner resources they need to solve their problems, and therapy helps uncover and build on those strengths.

What is SFBT?

SFBT is a future-focused and strengths-based form of therapy that supports clients in identifying what they want to achieve and exploring solutions rather than focusing on problems. Instead of analyzing past issues in depth, SFBT helps individuals create a clear picture of their preferred future and take small, manageable steps to get there.

This approach is practical, respectful, and often quite uplifting, helping clients feel more confident and hopeful.

How Does SFBT Work?

SFBT helps clients notice what is already working and how to do more of it. Therapists ask purposeful questions that help clients reflect on past successes, current strengths, and future possibilities.

The process may include:

• Setting Clear Goals – Identifying what the client wants to be different in their life.
• Focusing on Strengths – Highlighting what is already working and building on it.
• Exploring Exceptions – Looking for times when the problem is less intense or absent.
• Scaling Progress – Using simple rating scales to measure progress and motivation.
• Creating Small Steps – Encouraging practical actions that move the client closer to their goals.

SFBT avoids problem-saturated conversations and instead focuses on creating a path forward that is realistic and achievable.

What Can SFBT Help With?

SFBT has been shown to be helpful for many types of challenges, especially when clients are looking for brief, focused support. It may be a good fit for:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and low mood
• Self-esteem concerns
• Family or relationship issues
• Work or school challenges
• Life transitions
• Goal setting and decision-making

SFBT is especially useful when time is limited or when someone is looking for a boost in confidence and direction.

What to Expect in a SFBT Session

SFBT sessions are collaborative and efficient. Therapists ask thoughtful, solution-focused questions and help guide the conversation toward hope, goals, and actions. Sessions are often shorter in duration and fewer in number than other therapy models.

A typical session may involve:

• Discussing what the client hopes to achieve from therapy.
• Describing what life will look like when things are better.
• Noticing times when progress has already been made.
• Scaling motivation, confidence, or progress toward goals.
• Identifying small next steps to take outside of therapy.

Clients often leave sessions feeling encouraged and better equipped to make meaningful changes.
