Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Cognitive precursor to CBT. Identifies and disputes the irrational beliefs underneath emotional and behavioral distress.

Solution-focused brief therapy (sfbt)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Spends less time on the why and more on what already works, then does more of that on purpose.

Strength-based

Structural family therapy

Family Therapy. Brings the people closest to the recovery into the room. Less about blame, more about updating the patterns that fed the cycle so the home becomes part of the recovery.
