Build Solutions and Move Forward With Online Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Grouport’s network includes licensed therapists trained specifically in SFBT and strengths-based approaches. Sessions run through individual therapy or group therapy over secure video, and SFBT’s conversational, goal-oriented format translates seamlessly online, with a 2024 meta-analysis of 72 studies finding a 59% reduction in psychosocial symptoms across participants.

Grouport’s licensed therapists, including PhDs, PsyDs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and LMFTs, are trained specifically in SFBT and strengths-based methods, not general talk therapy relabeled as solution-focused. Members can browse therapist profiles directly during signup and choose based on training and approach, all delivered over secure, HIPAA-compliant video chat.

Rather than searching locally for a specialist trained specifically in SFBT, which can be harder to find than general CBT-trained clinicians, Grouport’s therapists deliver full sessions entirely over secure video. Since SFBT is brief and conversational by design, often producing shifts from the very first session, the online format supports its efficiency rather than working against it.

A few factors matter more than general reputation alone:

• Specific training in SFBT and strengths-based approaches, not general talk therapy applied loosely to solution-focused concepts
• Whether the provider offers multiple formats, since SFBT works across individual, group, couples, and family settings depending on your goals
• Transparent, flat pricing without hidden fees or long-term contracts required before you know if the fit works

SFBT has particularly strong evidence for these conditions specifically:

• An umbrella review of 25 systematic reviews found high confidence in SFBT’s effectiveness for depression and overall mental health
• Research has found SFBT comparable to CBT for depression, though the two approaches work through different mechanisms
• SFBT also shows moderate confidence evidence for anxiety

Yes. All Grouport sessions are held via secure, HIPAA-compliant video chat, and SFBT’s conversational, goal-oriented approach translates seamlessly to this format. Because SFBT emphasizes building on what’s already working rather than extensive problem analysis or exercises requiring physical presence, the video format doesn’t compromise the treatment’s core method at all, and many people notice meaningful shifts from the very first session regardless of delivery format.

Grouport’s group therapy sessions using SFBT are led entirely by licensed clinicians trained in the approach, not peer facilitators. Members select their preferred group and schedule directly during signup, and the strengths-based, future-focused format tends to fit naturally into a group setting where members can build on each other’s progress and preferred-future visioning.

Grouport’s individual therapy using SFBT offers a few specific advantages:

• Fully private, one-on-one sessions focused entirely on your specific goals and existing strengths
• Techniques like the Miracle Question applied to your particular life circumstances rather than a generalized scenario
• A pace set around your goals, since SFBT is designed to be brief without requiring extensive history-taking first

Yes. Grouport offers separate therapy groups for adults (18+) and teens and adolescents (under 18), since SFBT is a natural fit for young people given its positive, strengths-based focus. Teen therapy programs use age-appropriate versions of SFBT techniques, ensuring adolescents receive support structured around their developmental stage.

Yes, and SFBT’s forward-looking approach can work particularly well in relational settings:

• Couples therapy can use SFBT to help both partners envision and build toward a shared preferred future rather than dwelling on past conflict
• Family therapy applies similar strengths-based techniques to family dynamics
• Individual SFBT work often runs alongside either format for personal goals

Group therapy averages $32 per session ($140 per month), and individual therapy averages $103 per session ($448 per month). Billing can be monthly, quarterly, or biannual, each offering an increasing discount, with no long-term commitment required. Full pricing across every format is listed under cost and billing.

No, but there are still practical ways to manage the cost:

• Flat, transparent monthly pricing means no surprise charges after any session, regardless of insurance status
• Detailed invoices are provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement through your own insurance plan
• Sessions are FSA and HSA eligible, letting you use pre-tax dollars without filing a separate claim

Full rates by format are listed under cost and billing.

Most members are placed within a few hours to 72 hours of signing up. If you choose a single weekly group therapy session, you select your therapist and schedule directly during signup for the fastest start. For individual therapy or bundled plans, a care coordinator reaches out afterward to match you personally instead.

The fastest path is choosing a single weekly group therapy session, where you select your therapist, group, and schedule directly during signup. If you’re unsure whether individual therapy or group fits your goals better, a care coordinator can help clarify the right starting point before you commit.

The Miracle Question is SFBT’s signature technique. Your therapist asks you to imagine that while you slept, a miracle happened and your problem was solved. What would be the first thing you noticed? This question helps you create a vivid, concrete picture of your preferred future, which becomes the actual goal you work toward in treatment. It shifts the focus of the entire session from what’s wrong to what you actually want instead.
