Brief solution-focused therapy is a short-term approach built around your goals. Instead of spending every session reviewing problems, we explore your strengths, what already helps and small changes worth trying. The focus is on practical ways to move toward the life you want.
At StarMaris, we begin by asking what you would like to change. That might mean handling work stress differently or speaking more openly at home. Together, we discuss manageable steps. The number of sessions depends on your needs rather than a fixed promise.
A useful goal should mean something in your everyday life. Perhaps you want less tension during family conversations or more confidence making decisions. We ask about times when the concern feels easier to manage.
Those moments can reveal habits, support or strengths worth building on. From there, we choose a small step to try between visits. You can discuss what helped and what needs a different approach.
Tell us what you want to change. Together, we turn that concern into a clear, realistic goal for therapy.
We explore moments when things feel more manageable and identify strengths or support you could use more often.
At later visits, we review what you tried, notice useful changes and discuss the next manageable step together.
Therapy goals need to fit your work, family, sleep and health. Brief solution-focused care forms part of a personalized, whole-person, evidence-based plan from a board-certified PMHNP.
When appropriate, we may combine it with medication reviews or other support. If you need more room to discuss ongoing concerns, supportive psychotherapy offers another approach. Care is available in Orlando and across Florida by telehealth
Start with one concern you would like to work on. We can discuss whether this approach fits your needs, in person in Orlando or through telehealth across Florida.
