Stan faces a lot of issues especially an important one that deals with depression. I would apply the solution-focused brief therapy because it would help Stan focus on his issues and gain an understanding of what made the problem emerged. The therapist helped Stan chose his own goals and path that Stan will wish to accomplish. Stan is requiring changing in his life and becoming better at handling his situation. Stan wants to make the change in life for himself, so the therapist would listen to all problems and found a lead way to a solution of overcoming some of his issues. Problems are not going to get solve in one session. Solution-oriented therapy is the second approach that would apply because Stan learns to finds his strengths and resources
