Problem Solving Therapy Worksheets

Problem-Solving Therapy Worksheets — A Guide for Clients (Printable PDF)

A structured, evidence-based client workbook that walks individuals through the full Problem-Solving Therapy model — from naming what's actually wrong to reviewing what worked. Built for therapists running PST sessions, and accessible enough for motivated self-helpers working through stress, anxiety, or low mood independently.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Sectioned learning:

• Foundations — Understanding PST 
• How PST Works 
• Why PST Works 
• The Problem-Stress Cycle 
• Why Avoidance Backfires 
• Emotions and Problems 
• The PST Roadmap

Interactive pages:

problem prioritisation tools, goal-setting frameworks, brainstorming mind maps, pros/cons tables, decision matrices, weekly check-ins, a 30-day progress tracker, and structured review worksheets.

Client favourites:

• The Problem vs. The Worry 
• My Problem List 
• Is This In My Control? 
• Good Enough vs. Perfect 
• The Solution Menu 
• The Task Ladder 
• My Stress Thermometer 
• My Values Compass

Therapist tools:

• My Session Notes 
• My Weekly Check-In 
• My PST Summary — session-ready pages designed to bridge in-room work with between-session practice.

PERFECT FOR:

Therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and coaches delivering PST or structured problem-solving interventions. Also well-suited for motivated self-helpers managing stress, anxiety, or low mood who want a clear method rather than just insight.

DETAILS:

Format: Printable PDF (US Letter + A4)
Length: 37 pages
Level: Accessible theory + practical step-by-step tools — suitable for adults and older teens

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE:

Clients leave each page with something concrete — a named problem, a ranked list, a written plan, a reviewed step. The workbook builds the habit of acting on problems rather than avoiding them, and gives clients a method they keep long after therapy ends.
