Life coaching FAQs

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.

How does life coaching work?

In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.

Is life coaching conducted in person or online?

Life coaching with our therapists in Asheville, NC is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does life coaching last?

The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Asheville therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Life Coaching in Asheville, NC—Life Coaches and Counselors

Life coaches, in many ways, are no different than other kinds of coaches. They encourage, push, challenge, inspire, and support. Regardless of the context, coaches help people learn about themselves—know their strengths and weaknesses. Then, people can make a game plan—capitalizing on their strengthens and fortifying their weaknesses. Whether the game plan is for a better marriage, a new career, or deeper relationships, people can often achieve more than they ever dreamed when they work with a life coach.

If you have a goal or a dream, it may be time to work with a life coach. Know that the life coaches at Thriveworks Asheville are also licensed mental health professionals, and we have coached many clients as they achieve more than they ever dreamed possible. Reach out today for help.

Working with a Life Coach

People from all walks of life have worked with a life coach, and while the possibilities for why someone would pursue coaching are infinite, two reasons are often cited. People frequently want life coaching as they…

  • …pursue a personal or professional goal. Goal setting is often a big aspect of life coaching. When people understand why, how, when, and where to set goals, they can often set themselves up for advancement—both personally and professionally. People can set a goal in any area of their lives…for a hobby, a relationship, a job change. Goals help people focus their attention upon what they truly care about in life, and they help people say, “no” to anything that distracts them from these values. Life coaches are often experts in guiding people toward challenging but realistic goals that keep them focused and moving forward.
  • …experience an unanticipated and/or especially challenging season of life. Words like divorce, cancer, lay-offs, bi-polar, and more can change life on a dime. One moment life is in control and smooth sailing. The next moment, the world is turned upside down. What should a job search look like after you’ve been laid off? How do you jump back into the dating scene as a single parent? What type of support will you need to survive this medical crisis? These are normal and important questions that many people ask as they enter into new and unforeseen circumstances. Life coaches can often help people find the right answers for them.

Self-Knowledge and Redefining Success

Life coaches can often help people increase their self-awareness. One of the many tools coaches use is the “Miracle Question.” This question can come in many forms, but the basic idea is that clients can suspend reality and dream about what could be. The miracle question might ask…

  • Where would you live, work, and play if you could locate your life anywhere? What factors went into that decision?
  • What educational or school opportunities would you seek if time and money did not hold you back?
  • Where do you feel relaxed? What is your perfect vacation?

It was a very good experience! My therapist made me feel very comfortable
Zaria Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
Wendy Krull sees me as a whole person and hears me as the individual that I am and that alone is a good thing. We all need that. Being able to talk things out, the good things as well as my struggles, even how my day to day goes is so helpful. When my life got turned upside down last September 2025, I didn't know how to handle the emotional and physical stress I was dealing with, and nobody understood what I was going through. It became difficult to talk to my family, and I had additional stress from work. Wendy has helped me through it all. The highs the lows, the good days and the difficult days. Wendy is my safe person to talk to without judgement. We all need that for the healing process to begin.

★★★★★
Wendy Krull is my counselor and she is amazing. She's supportive, listens, and genuinely cares about people and it's reflected. I know I'm safe talking with her, regardless of what I'm talking about. She shares insights with me and has taught me techniques in how to relax my body and the positive effects it has on our overall health. The questions she asks me are so simple but yet they make me think and I have to look within myself for the answers and I've surprised myself on what was unlocked that I didn't even realize was still there. She helps me sort through my emotions and make sense of them. She's been a lifeline for me that I didn't know I needed. She's so easy to talk to and I can really share what's going on, past, present and my hopes and fears for the future. Wendy has been able to help me navigate through the health issues I've been dealt and how to overcome and not give up on myself. I've had crying meltdowns a few times and I just don't do that outside of my immediate family, and I'm OK if it happens because she's able to help me work though it when I'm at my lowest point. I've had highs and lows, and she's been with me every step of the way. There's been many times she's told me she was thinking about me during the week and was concerned. That in itself just makes you feel good knowing someone cares and is there to help. I am a better person to be around because I'm not holding all this emotional junk inside. I really look forward to our weekly sessions. Our lives are messy and we all need someone to help us navigate through it and I'm so thankful I have this wonderful lady to help me get through it.
