Coaching versus Counseling: Why Your Therapist Might Be Keeping You Stuck | E450

Author: Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby April 15, 2025 Duration: 50:48
Ever feel like you’ve been in therapy forever and nothing’s actually changing? Or maybe you have a life coach that loves to just hang out and vibe instead of actually helping you reach your goals?  In this eye-opening episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that has been driving me absolutely bonkers for years—and might be costing you time, money, and progress. If you’ve ever felt stuck in therapy, underwhelmed by coaching, or just totally confused about which path is right for your growth, this one’s for you. I’m talking about the real difference between coaching versus counseling, why one might be the wrong fit for what you actually need, and how to finally choose the right support system that gets results (without wasting another minute or dollar). Whether you're working on your relationship, your career, or your confidence, this episode will help you get clarity around your path forward.
