Mindfulness allows us to hear that voice, acknowledge it, and even examine where it might be originating. Then, like a cloud in the sky, we can let it float by and return our attention to our breath. Various therapeutic approaches combined with mindfulness create the therapy. Here we offer a look at what those are, the research behind them, and more.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. In the most basic sense, SFBT is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
