People often ask what the difference is between counseling and coaching, and why I offer both. The truth is, not everyone needs counseling — which focuses on clinical, psychological interventions. I’ve found that many people, teens and young adults especially, are turned off by the stigma that comes with the “counseling” label. People who aren’t necessarily navigating a diagnosable mental health condition, but are instead struggling to make decisions, perform better at school or work, communicate more effectively, or figure out their next step in life, tend to respond much better to coaching. Coaching is focused on helping you make better decisions, perform at a higher level, and understand yourself and the world around you more clearly.
As an author and speaker who works with individuals and groups across the country, I’m frequently asked to help clients outside of Ohio and Texas — the two states where I’m licensed to provide “counseling.” While I can’t offer clinical counseling outside those states, I can offer coaching to parents and clients anywhere, via video call. My coaching services are available nationwide, regardless of where you live. Explore my coaching services below:
