Ellen Kelly, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-F of Vanderbilt University joins Sara MacIntyre to discuss Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as a helpful framework for developing client-driven goals in therapy. SFBT helps guide clients to identifying and setting their own goals for change in a strength-focused, positive manner. Ellen and Sara discuss the importance of developing goals in a collaborative manner with clients, how to shift the focus from what's not going well, to what actually is going well, and finally, they provide clinical examples of SFBT in practice.
