What it is
Brief Directive Individual Therapy is short-term, goal-focused work for adults. Client and therapist set goals together, try specific changes in behavior for a set time, check whether results are moving toward those goals, keep going if they are, and adjust if not.
It helps people who want focused support with personal goals and behavioral change, without open-ended therapy that never names a direction.
The Storyboard Method in therapy
In sessions, clients can use The Storyboard Method for Counseling, a visual tool for behavioral change. It helps people see their situation clearly and stay authors of their own goals while they make practical changes. It is used here as a therapy tool for clients, not as a course or license.
Where it is offered
In person in Los Gatos, and by telehealth anywhere in California. Couples looking for structured marriage work can see Brief Directive Marriage Counseling™.
