Mr. Barlow would probably be most satisfied with a time-limited, direct approach.
Given that he wants to solve this problem in a few sessions, he needs a time-limited approach. He wants the therapist to help him in a matter of few sessions, which is why his time is limited. He also needs a directive approach, because he wants clear, direct advice which will solve his problems immediately.
