Have you ever gotten to a point where you felt overwhelmed with life? It seems like the more you push through juggling school, work, family, relationships and/or life transitions thinking you can handle it the more you find yourself in a cycle like running in a hamster wheel feeling stuck. Sometimes you might feel like you’re just going through the motion in quiet desperation while wishing you knew what to do to emotionally handle life stressors better. You may even talk to friends, family, or distract yourself by staying busy but yet it’s not enough.

TELETHERAPY Ideally, I want to create an environment that allows my clients to find their way, learn about themselves, and grow to be leaders in their treatment. The approaches I use give clients the ability to take the initiative, evaluate and then make a plan of action. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a challenge in itself. But in the end I want to meet the client where they are at and go from there. Where applicable I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, play therapy, career/coaching and other modalities in practice.

Life can be full of ups and downs. Sometimes the challenges we face can shake us and begin to disrupt our current day to day connections with others. Unconscious thoughts, childhood experiences, and daily interactions can impact thought processes influencing the way we view ourselves. Struggling to cope with these challenges can begin to create a negative sense of self. You begin to no longer see your true self worth. I practice utilizing a holistic, integrative approach, as I focus on the importance of helping individuals gain insight into the origins and meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
