WHAT TYPES OF COACHING DO YOU OFFER?
Anxiety and Stress Reduction Coaching provides clients with exercises and tools they can use to manage their anxiety and daily stress. You will learn how to monitor, navigate and regulate your anxiety and stress triggers, and gain tools that will increase your feeling of empowerment.
Project Completion Coaching is for clients working to focus their sessions on a finishing a specific goal or creative project. Are you getting stuck writing your novel? Turning in your thesis? Getting through a difficult presentation? In goal-oriented sessions, we will work together to meet your deadlines by practicing time management skills, stress reduction skills specifically related to your goal, and visualization techniques.
Time Management & Goal Setting Coaching is for clients who are struggling with focusing on tasks, clients juggling busy schedules, or clients working from home who could benefit from better structure and scheduling. Using time blocking techniques, we look at your schedule week to week, set consistent goals, and check-in frequently to chart your progress. I also specialize in helping adults with ADHD manage their time by providing weekly accountability checkpoints for meeting their goals.
Confidence Coaching and Performance Coaching is for clients who specifically want to work on raising their self esteem and confidence through positive self-talk training or for those who have performance anxiety when it comes to performances, competitions, presentations, and public speaking/appearances. We will look at what is holding your confidence back, and set goals to work on boosting your confidence and positive self-talk using techniques from cognitive behavioral theory, narrative therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, pre-planning skills and visualization.

WHAT ARE ONLINE SESSIONS?
Online coaching sessions (via video sessions or phone calls) are great options for clients who are often in different locations and need a flexible option. It frees busy clients from having to drive to a therapist's office and allows them the freedom to feel comfortable and more relaxed in a setting of their choice. As a trained professional, I am able to pick up on vocal and visual clues to maintain a connection with my clients via telehealth. DO YOU ALSO OFFER IN-OFFICE THERAPY SESSIONS? Currently, I only offer online sessions. |
WHAT IS THE COST?
My fee is $150 per 45 minute session. To schedule a free 10 minute phone consultation, please email: risawilliamstherapy@gmail.com.
