I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and Solution Focused Therapy.
My name is Danielle Bloch Beatt, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Sarasota, Florida. I am passionate about helping people navigate the emotional challenges in their lives in a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental way. As our lives have become increasingly complex, more and more we are becoming anxious, depressed, lonely, and confused about how to navigate relationships. I love working with young adults and people in transitional phases of life. Major life changes such as college graduation, taking a new job, having a baby, or moving to a new city can be especially stressful.

These modalities include but are not limited to CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and more.
Mental Health is often times dismissed or not given the priority it should have due to stigma, or the perception that maybe it will just go away or get better on its own. The reality is Mental Health should be a priority as it can affect your everyday mood, cognitive function, relationships and overall health. My passion and dedication to helping others was my drive in obtaining my clinical license. Throughout the years I have gained vast experience of direct face-to-face Individual and couples counseling with a wide range of populations.

I use evidence based approaches such as solution focused, cognitive behavioral or client centered.
Clients can experience fears, anxiety, sadness and at times ambivalence as to whether to get help or not. It may be that you think that a solution to the immediate problem is uncertain for you because you can't see past the problem. That occurs because we are humans and at times people can get stuck and need someone in the helping profession like me to help them see that in any case there is light at the end of the tunnel. There are solutions and goals to reach for each client. I would like to have the opportunity to help you through that process so that you can reach your goals. Allow me to use your strengths to help guide you .

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
