The techniques you mention may include focusing on causes and consequences, but they are very solution-oriented.
Focusing, which is an introspective technique, is explicitly not focused on solutions; it’s focused on figuring out what the actual problem is (which generally is more about listening to the complaint than it is about thinking about the environment or how things could be solved). This then helps someone find a solution, but they’re likely not doing that with Focusing.
