Starting Life coaching

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 Columbus, GA 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 Columbus therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

I've been seeing Ashley for years, and she has done a great job supporting me while I navigate life stressors and changes (big and small).

Melissa really listens, and she is able to take what I say and then make connections to either what I have said or felt. She helps me make connections to how I live my life with ADD, PTSD, trauma. She helps me make sense of the hard stuff.

Cecilia has been fantastic during each of our sessions, and I look forward to each appointment. I've tried therapy before but it didn't feel as targeted, or nearly as personal as my time with Cecilia. I would recommend her to anyone who finds her bio/background and areas of expertise resonate with their needs.

Easy to use. Love virtual sessions. Melissa is wonderful. She's a good listener, has excellent insights, gives me meaningful feedback and education, and is comfortable to work with. I highly respect her skills and compassion.

Everything about my experience was top notch. From finding a therapist, to booking an appointment, to my actual therapist - I adore her and tremendously look forward to our sessions.

Donisha meets me after business hours either in person or over the phone, going on two years now. She's young enough to be my daughter, and has a different perspective on life and people and relationship dynamics than I do, and isn't reticent to call me out on bad behavior or distorted thinking. She's guided me through and past three very toxic relationships and a hostile work environment, and instills hope but not at the expense of reality.

My trauma therapist does an excellent job of balancing time in sessions between helping me sort through current challenges and gently leading me back to keep digging deeper for roots of trauma responses and addressing those things.
