Jeffrey Guterman (; born April 26, 1958) is an American mental health counselor. In the 1980s, Guterman was influenced by rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and received personal psychotherapy, training, and supervision in the model from its founder Albert Ellis. In the 1990s, Guterman developed a solution focused brief therapy model called "solution-focused counseling". Solution-focused counseling is an integration of solution-focused principles and techniques, postmodern theories, and a strategic approach to eclecticism. His 1994 article, "A Social Constructionist Position for Mental Health Counseling" published in the Journal of Mental Health Counseling (JMHC) started a debate on the topic of postmodernism in the JMHC through 2000 and at workshops held at the ACA's conferences in 1996 and 1999.
