Discover Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – the approach that inspires clients toward change...leading to quicker and more powerful results than they ever thought possible.

It happens to all of us...you're working with a client, and you get stuck.

Your client's problems seem so deep and complex that you're not sure what to do next. Then they get frustrated, shut down, and you're both ready to give up.

What if I told you that you never have to feel that panic of getting stuck again?

Now, you can be confident in any client session, thanks to the simple but powerful Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) approach.

SFBT is different because it relentlessly pursues solutions, instead of getting lost in diagnosis, symptom relief, and things that don't matter for healing. It asks the questions that lead to quick, forward-moving results. And it works with any client – because it focuses on the future, not the problem that happened in the past.

In this exclusive online course, you'll learn the SFBT skills you need to be effective.

You'll see SFBT in action through three real-client sessions – so you'll be fully prepared to use this approach in your next session. (And trust me, you'll be amazed how quickly this approach leads to change!)

Plus, once you complete this course, you'll qualify to immediately become a Certified Level 1 SFBT therapist.

I'm so excited to have you join me today as we journey, step-by-step, through mastering this incredible approach.

You can offer help and hope to any client – and you get to be the compassionate, caring therapist you were made to be.

Introduction to the Course and the Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Approach
Discover the foundations of what it takes to be a successful SFBT clinician – mainly the therapist’s belief in the client and their ability to heal. With that foundation, hope is possible for any situation.
 
Getting Started with Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Elliot Connie illustrates the power of the SFBT process through engaging instruction and real-client stories. You’ll discover how SFBT can lead to rapid change, even when your clients seem resistant and won’t answer your questions – and learn the principles that can make you successful with any client case.
 
Using Clients' Best Hopes for Effective Outcomes Right from the First Session
Discover how starting with the desired outcome is key to quick and transformative change. Elliot Connie will not only teach you the principles and questions to ask your clients, he’ll show you how to ask the questions and what stumbling blocks to avoid. You’ll see him in action with a client who wants to quit smoking and experience the questions he asks to draw out hope and motivation from the client’s own life.
 
The Resource Talk
Walk step-by-step through the process of building client resources, which are key components to change. Join Elliot Connie in two client sessions to see how he quickly forms a connection with the client. Then, through intentional and engaging question-asking, learn how he’s able to uncover resources that allow a therapist to move beyond being a problem-solver to becoming a true healer.
 
The Honeymoon Talk
Get a front-row seat to see how SFBT can restore love between struggling relationships. Elliot Connie will teach you how to use details from the beginning of the couple’s love story to help the clients reconnect and build the foundation for a better future. You’ll experience this work in-action and watch a couple on the brink of separation literally fall back in love, right before your eyes.
 
Preferred Future Session
Experience what Elliot Connie describes as the most important part of SFBT – your clients’ visualization of their preferred future. You’ll learn the specific types of questions to ask, then observe as Elliot Connie leads all three client sessions to rapid change that they couldn’t have imagined when they entered his office. See how he helps a woman quit smoking after years of trying; how he guides a young man to a new, more fulfilling life; and how he reignites a couple’s relationship that was on the verge of splitting up. Witness quick change happen in real time, and see how SFBT offers impactful, life-changing results that you won’t find with other psychotherapies.
 
Scales and Follow-up
Discover how to use scales as a technique to help clients see their session progress and find opportunities for growth. Then Elliot Connie will teach you how to end sessions in an impactful and meaningful way that keeps your clients’ autonomy intact. He’ll also guide you in what to do when a client asks for a follow-up session, including how to amplify your clients’ strengths for greater results.

Answers to Common Questions
This process can be used along with other approaches or as a stand-alone method – whichever works best for you.
Definitely not! It’s one of the simplest approaches to learn. But it takes time to master, so we’ll also show you how to practice and improve your skills.
Absolutely! The magic of SFBT is that it isn’t focused on the problem, whether it’s rooted in trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, etc. In fact, often the client doesn’t even reveal the problem. SFBT works because it helps your clients go toward the future they want, not get stuck in the hurtful past – making it useful with almost any clinical challenge.
