Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, concrete steps that move someone toward their goals and build momentum.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dr. Glass collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the approach as progress or priorities change.
