Besides, CBT, Mr. Walden, and other African American families dealing with an unhealthy work-life balance can also use solution-focused therapy to address the problem. Solution-focused therapy is a collaborative process that brings together a client and a therapist who work together to find a solution to the problem facing a patient (Grant, 2017). The fact that a client is involved in coming up with treatment goals and plans makes the process even more effective (Hosseinpour et al., 2015). Solution-focused therapy can help Mr. Walden find solutions to the issues that are adversely affecting his work-life balance. Through this process, he will learn not only why working long hours’ makes it harder for him to fulfill his familial obligations but also how to work the problem and overcome the issue. Most parents go to work in order to provide for their families. However, sometimes such a responsibility pushes parents to overwork themselves, eating into the time they would otherwise spend with their families. Solution-focused therapy will give such families a chance to recognize the source of the problem and then work towards addressing it (Kim et al., 2015).
