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 Dallas, TX 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 Dallas therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

Thriveworks Dallas provides life coaching because more and more people are reaching out for help as they navigate transitions and roadblocks in life. Life coaches are often the right solution for support and guidance.

What in the World Is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a relatively newer type of mental health care, but it is a growing field. In certain circumstances, life coaches can meet the needs of many people in a way that traditional therapy cannot. Because it is a newer field, many people are learning about what life coaches do. Here are some quick facts that detail what life coaches do and do not do:

  • Every coach has their own, unique style.
  • Life coaching is primarily dedicated to inspiring people to reach their goals and their full potential.
  • Life coaches and therapists are different positions and different professions.
  • Appointments for life coaching are usually very flexible and can be individualized to a particular client’s preferences and needs.
  • An organization called The International Coach Federation (ICF) is committed to education initiative for life coaches and to promoting ethical standards for them.
  • Life coaching is not a regulated title—there is no official certification for becoming a life coach. The quality of care between one life coach and another can vary greatly.
  • Life coaches can work by themselves or together with other medical or therapeutic professionals.
  • Many of the techniques of life coaching are believed to be draw from principles first established in sports coaching.

If you have a goal you are eyeing, it might be time to meet with a life coach. If you are dreaming about what your full potential could be, it might be time to meet with a life coach. If you want to emphasize your strengths and reinforce your weaknesses, it may be time to meet with a life coach. If you need more encouragement, inspiration, advice, challenge, and accountability in your life, it might be time to meet with a life coach.

Your goals become your life coach’s goals—whether it is personal or professional, life coaches help their clients focus upon achievement. Life coaches work with CEOs, teachers, parents, new graduates, retirees, and more. Anybody could possibly benefit from working with a life coach.

How Might Life Coaching Help You?

Life coaches tailor their care to each client—addressing specific needs. Just as care from a life coach will be unique, so will the benefits. However, generally speaking, many people identify how a life coach has helped them…

  • Gain a more clear vision for their life.
  • Establish goals that support that vision.
  • Receive unbiased feedback.
  • Learn techniques and strategies for fulfilling their potential.
  • Accept more accountability that allowed them to achieve more.
  • Be inspired and dream.
  • Find motivation to overcome setbacks.
  • Increase their self-esteem and confidence.
  • Develop personally.
  • Develop professionally.

I must take a moment to submit a review for Dr. Geraldine Hickerson! Dr. Hickerson not only has significant experience as a therapist, she also is compassionate about the care provided. Compassion guides the therapist to treat the person as an individual- fully listening and creating a safe space for therapeutic healing. Dr. Hickerson is phenomenal at creating that safe space. I highly recommend her as a trusted therapist.
