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, OH 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.

What Exactly Is Life Coaching?

Life coaches are a relatively new category of mental health professionals, and in many ways, the profession is new and developing. People are still learning that life coaching can be a great option for them. Here are a few quick facts about what life coaches are and are not:

  • Life coaches are dedicated to helping their clients reach goals and fulfill their potential.
  • Each coach has a unique style.
  • Life coaching has a lot of flexibility, and it can be tailored to a client’s particular needs and preferences.
  • Life coaches are not therapists—they are different professions.
  • The International Coach Federation (ICF) is dedicated to enforcing ethical standards for life coaches.
  • Life coaches are not required to be licensed or certified.
  • Life coaches can work independently or they can work together with other therapeutic or medical organizations.
  • The principles of life coaching are believed to have been based upon the techniques used for sports coaching.

Is there a goal you want to achieve? Have you ever wondered what your potential is? Do you want to capitalize on your strengths and fortify your weaknesses? Are you ready for some encouragement, advice, inspiration, accountability, and challenge? If so, you may be ready to meet with a life coach.

The Benefits of Life Coaching

Because life coaches often tailor sessions to a client’s specific needs, the benefits of life coaching will be unique and personal to each individual who participates. In general, some of the benefits clients have reported from life coaching include…

  • A clearer life vision with goals that support that vision.
  • Unbiased and unwavering support from the life coach.
  • Strategies and techniques for maximizing your potential.
  • More accountability that keeps you achieving.
  • Encouragement and inspiration during setbacks and hard times.
  • Improved confidence and self-esteem.
  • Professional development.
  • Personal development.

I highly recommend Brianna Sheridan and her expertise as a therapist. I have had the pleasure to know Brianna for several years and have worked with her as a colleague. Brianna is very knowledgable and I have often sought her advice and insight regarding counseling matters and concerns. She is a competent, highly skilled, and a very compassionate therapist.

I recently started utilizing Thriveworks and my counselor is amazing! I have seen a few therapists over the years, but she is the first that I feel has real tools that work for me. I am an overly analytical person, and she has introduced me to so many new ways to think about various problems, new and old, that have given me a fresh perspective. Today was the second day in my short time here that I left with that "mind blown" feeling, and today I couldn’t believe the positive feelings I had on these new approaches she provided me. Also, which is the best part of course, the office is so peaceful and calming, the staff are all incredible, and just walking in the door makes me de-stress quite a bit. I definitely recommend giving Thriveworks a shot if you are looking for a welcoming place! Go Buckeyes!
