Absolutely not. People often look for long-term therapy to work on deep-seated issues such as childhood abuse, trauma, and family-of-origin issues.

There are alternatives to dwelling on the past and exploring how historical factors led a person to his/her present predicament. After all, history is static: you cannot do anything to change it. Instead, you want to ask yourself, "Given what has happened, how do I move on?"

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) helps you maintain a forward-looking stance by focusing on how you want things to be different and how to get there.

Though SFBT tends not to set a limit on the number of sessions, the course of treatment is usually six sessions or less, simply because the approach is dynamic, focused, and goal-driven.
