    What is Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)?

    Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), also known as Solution Focused Coaching:

    Is an evidence-based approach that is effective at helping clients from any background and with various presenting problems.

    • Client-centred: This language-based approach encourages clinicians to view each client as resourceful and competent, co-constructing with them to move forward into the life they would like to live.

    • Change-Oriented: SFBT professionals ask detail-oriented questions that help clients think in new and more adaptive ways. After engaging in these conversations, many clients report feeling warmly understood and empowered to take action and make changes in line with their desired outcomes.

    • Respectful and Collaborative: This approach doesn't re-traumatize clients or require them to wade through heartache and pain. Instead, SFBT helps clients expand their vision of who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing.

    • Looking Forward: SFBT encourages clients to focus their attention on the future they want to design and create, rather than continuing to focus on past problem-related concerns.

    Hi I'm Erica

    I’m an Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist based in Canada, and I’m passionate about using Solution Focused approaches to support and empower my clients. Solution Focused felt like a natural fit for my practice because it aligns so closely with the core values of Occupational Therapy, which is why I decided to integrate it after in-depth training.

    Through solution focused conversations, I’ve seen firsthand how this approach helps clients shift from dwelling on past struggles to focusing on the future they want to create. They start to recognize their own strengths, expand their vision for what’s possible, feel deeply understood and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

    Not only has SFBT reignited my own passion for OT, but it’s also led to quicker progress with my clients. It’s inspiring to see them develop their own strategies and take charge of their recovery. I believe it’s an approach that any OT can use to foster hope, collaboration, and lasting change in their practice.

    Over the course of my career, I’ve been fortunate to:

    • Align my practice with my values by using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as a core framework for client care.

    • Engage in psychotherapy research alongside leading experts, focusing on practical methods that help clinicians improve their daily practice.

    • Introduce SFBT to a new agency, establishing regular solution-focused therapy services where it wasn't previously offered.

    • Supervise and mentor OTs as they integrate solution-focused tools into their own caseloads.

    • Contributed to a published book highlighting my work applying SFBT in mental health occupational therapy.

    • Guest lecture annually at the University of Manitoba and the University of Toronto, sharing practical approaches with future OTs.

    I’m excited to share what I’ve learned to help you bring Solution Focused Brief Therapy into your practice, too.
