Episode Summary:
In this episode of Beyond Private Practice, Liz Fernandez tackles another common myth that holds therapists back from starting a coaching business: “I’m not tech-savvy, so I can’t coach.” Many therapists are intimidated by the idea of needing advanced tech skills or a strong social media presence to run a successful coaching practice. Liz reassures listeners that this is far from the truth and offers simple, practical steps to get started without feeling overwhelmed.

Liz explains that you only need a few basic tech tools, like Zoom, Google Calendar, and a simple payment system like PayPal or Stripe, to begin working with coaching clients. She shares how many successful coaches grow organically through networking and referrals, rather than relying solely on social media. If social media feels intimidating, Liz encourages listeners to choose just one platform to focus on, whether that’s Instagram, LinkedIn, or even email. This episode is filled with actionable advice to make technology work for you, so you can confidently step into coaching without sacrificing your privacy or feeling like you need to be a tech expert.

If you’re ready to embrace simple tech solutions and discover how to market your services in a way that works for you, this episode will give you the encouragement and practical tools to get started.
