Online Life Coaching therapists in Damascus, Maryland MD

Coaching is progress related using goals and metrics. Clients should experience relief in just 6 sessions.  

My approach to Life Coaching is grounded in the strategic alignment of your daily habits with your long-term liberation goals. As a Professor, I help high-capacity individuals bridge the gap between their intellectual potential and their somatic reality. We map your future not through "hustle culture," but through the rhythm of regulated resistance.  

As a Certified Life Coach through the Coach Training Alliance, I enjoy working with people who want to improve their work, personal, or relationship lives, but who may be feeling stuck. The feeling of being stuck often comes from unconscious blocks that, being unconscious, are very hard for the person to see by themselves. We can work together to identify workable goals and then create pathways to reach those goals, while identifying blocks and eliminating them.  

My passion for coaching predates my therapy licensure and remains a core element of my practice. Where therapy often focuses on healing, coaching illuminates possibilities and activates potential. As a certified coach, I create forward-focused partnerships that help clients envision and create their desired futures. Using principles of positive psychology (without toxic positivity), we identify strengths, clarify values, and develop actionable steps toward meaningful goals. This aspect of my practice particularly resonates with clients who are stable but seeking greater fulfillment, purpose, or direction. Our coaching work emphasizes possibility, agency, and the cultivation of hope—empowering factors that can transform how we navigate life's challenges.  

Alongside my therapy work, I offer life coaching for adults who are ready to make concrete changes in their careers or relationships and want support with action and momentum. Coaching is different from therapy: we stay closer to the present and future — what you want now, what gets in the way, and what you’re willing to do differently. Coaching with me focuses on who you are, what you want, and how to get there. This work can be helpful if you already have insight into your patterns but feel stuck when it comes to actually doing something different. That might look like wanting to change jobs but not moving forward, wanting healthier relationships but repeating familiar dynamics, or knowing you need boundaries but struggling to set or keep them. Together, we clarify your priorities in work and relationships, identify the beliefs and habits that slow you down, and turn insight into specific, realistic steps. Between sessions, you try things out in real life — having conversations, setting limits, exploring new directions — and we use what happens as feedback to refine your approach. My style is collaborative, practical, and grounded: I won’t push you past your limits, but I will help you stay connected to your goals and build steady momentum toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned with you.  

Life coaching focuses on clarity, direction, agency, and meaningful change. My work integrates psychoanalytic insight, somatic awareness, and reflective exploration to support intentional life decisions and personal growth. This process helps individuals align more fully with their values, desires, and inner life.  

I have started a couple of treatment centers with 150 employees and have mentored many employees, parents, middle school and high school students. This is one of my favorite areas of treatment since it is growth oriented, coaching & mentoring about real-world life challenges and solution focused. I have been coaching in one form or another for over 30 years. Being a PhD Licensed Psychologist is a game changer when it comes to helping clients see the big picture and helping to guide them in their life journey.  

My training and certification is both as a Hypnotherapist and Life Coach and the two modalities are closely intertwined. Many of my clients have come to me for coaching issues such as gaining clarity on what direction to take in life or work, understanding what they are truly passionate about. I've coached many writers, artists, musicians, and business people through creative blocks, or helped them find the confidence to lead, step up in their careers, take on new roles. Often people find conflict in dealing with someone at work and it impedes their moving forward and I help them find a way to neutralize that conflict. Whether you are seeking a new direction in your life or need help in making your dreams a reality, hypnosis can help.  

I’m not a typical life coach. Most life coaching is based on the premise that the client is “healthy” enough to not need therapy or “healing”, and that coaching is all about looking forward, not backwards. I disagree. I believe that most of us (even successful people) operate subconsciously much of the time out of reactivity from painful past life experiences and current stresses. Those wounds can provide great motivation, but without consciousness, they eventually lead to burn-out and "life crises". Coming to terms with those experiences and reducing life stressors makes a client more grounded and balanced – which add up to someone who can now be present enough to apply tools like “emotional intelligence” training. So I use some typical coaching tools, but I also use therapeutic approaches from mental health, healing modalities from spiritual traditions, hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming, and energy psychology. I also use the Professional Strengths, Values & Story Survey (SVSS). The SVSS is an innovative motivational assessment tool that explores your identity and direction through 12 universal “story types.” By understanding what truly motivates you (not what other people think should motivate you), you’ll see your life and work-life purpose in wholly new way. From this point, you’ll learn how to use your strengths to move your life forward instead of struggling to use aspects of your character that don’t have much motivational energy. Finally, if you’re looking for life meaning or purpose, consider True Purpose coaching. TP is a both a practical and an idealistic/spiritual approach to understanding (and manifesting, if you choose) what your soul – not your ego – wants for you. True Purpose is based on practices that enable individuals to access their own higher source of wisdom (even if that’s “just” one’s own “higher self”) and turn that into a life-long resource. The practical part is about clearly defining and dealing with your internal limitations – which, by the way, are usually the same beliefs that have kept you from your true potential. Call if you think we might be a match. I’ll be glad to answer any questions you have.  

Life coaching has been my forte. All my clients are thriving and they are on the way to achieve their health, career, professional, relationship goals. Julien Moe is a multilingual Fulbright Scholar life coach, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist who specializes in helping others heal from codependency, narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, psychological invisibility, and alike. His coaching practice is founded upon the idea that all dysfunctional relationships with Self, and or with others, are the results of the thoughts beliefs and behaviors inaccurately or falsely impacted by psychodynamic experiences. "I Will Help You: • Enhance confidence, self-esteem and well-being • Improve the quality of your life • Reduce stress, increase productivity, develop peace of mind • Get more energy, time, passion and focus • Take control of daily stressful issues • Reach your potential and academic, social and professional goals • Love your work • Have lasting relationships • Personal freedom • Find and sustain personal, academic and professional success, wealth and happiness Your First Session will be a 60-minute formal assessment during which I will explore all areas of your life (relationships, dating, career, fun & recreation, money, friends, family, personal development & growth) I will help you discover what your satisfaction level is right now and where you want to be, examine your values (what is important to you right now), I will learn what's been getting in the way. I will examine your thought processes and look for any limiting beliefs, assumptions, harmful patterns of thinking. I will get your questions answered in person." Life coaching is an action-oriented and solution-based approach where you are not just listened to but offered effective solutions to help you reach your academic, dating, social or professional goals in time. Through the coaching conversations, exercises, various tools and techniques, reflection, powerful questioning and inquiry you develop the self-confidence to be able to live a happy life but to thrive on the right track. We won't look at your past and why you got to this place but instead we will focus on how you can make it better. Looking back at your life will be a place where you no longer judge yourself for past mistakes (which holds many individuals back) but discover how to reflect and learn from your actions and experiences so you are experiencing an action-learning-growth cycle. We all have enough negativity in our lives, often, leading to great anxiety and fear. These harmful thoughts and feelings can prevent forward motion. Life coaching is based on positive psychology. You will learn to recognize unhealthy thought patterns that hold you back and use your strengths to reach your goals. We will focus on moving you forward with an emphasis on having a positive, healthy and focused head space. Book Your Session Today, by calling 212-814-9527 We will work from the inside-out. We will explore your values; who you really are and what is right for you - not just what you were told was right but what you really want out of your life. Looking at this, along with exploring what challenges get in the way, you will begin to create the life of your dreams. This is when you will begin to truly live authentically and find fulfillment and satisfaction in the life you have created. Life coaching helps people create changes that will lead to the results they would like. It helps clients discover, clarify and align with what they want to attain. Life coaching can address many different areas in a clients life. It can be used to help with short term or long term projects. Clients are able to set better goals and reach those goals. In explaining life coaching, sometimes it helps to explain what coaching is not. It is not psychotherapy, counseling, mentoring or consulting. However, there are some similarities. We will not look at your past but your future. It is not about me telling you what to do. How many times have you been lectured or told what to do? and did you find it motivating? Coaching is about your agenda. You decide what you want to cover and when to stop. You will find the right answers for you. However, I may guide you through my questioning and re-framing to find new choices and healthier perspectives. Coaching is about using some incredible tools and techniques to help you learn how to get what you want. ********** Why Does Life Coaching Work? When you buy a new car most people spend a lot of time and energy doing research. They must compare cars to decide which car meets their specific needs. Therefore, they must know what is important to them and what car will supply these needs. They check out the features and decide what they need. They also shop around to find the best deal. Your life and your mind deserve the same attention that you would put into buying a car. Unfortunately, we were not born knowing how to get the most out of our lives. Most of us walk around blindly hoping we will get it right. Coaching gives you the power to be an active creator of your life. Coaching provides structure, support and a tool belt of tools to help you learn how to do this yourself. A good coach is one who teaches you how to coach yourself. My clients often describe coaching as a life altering choice and as one of the best decisions they have ever made. ******* What are the Benefits of Life Coaching? • Help people set better goals and reach those goals • Build self-confidence • Have someone champion, believe in and motivate you • Find time and energy for the important areas in your life • Become the leader in your life • Finding fulfillment and life satisfaction • Leading a balanced healthy life • Reframing harmful perspectives • Expanding choices • A safe person/place to explore your life • Provides openness and space needed for the journey of change To book a session, please text or call 212-814-9527  

I use CBT and REBT–based coaching to help clients break through mental roadblocks, shift limiting beliefs, and take purposeful action toward their goals. Sessions are practical, forward-focused, and skills-driven, emphasizing mindset shifts, emotional self-management, and accountability. The work is about building clarity, confidence, and momentum so you can make aligned decisions and create meaningful, sustainable change.  

As a great life coach, I provide personalized guidance through teachable moments and valuable life principles. My clients leave each session gaining new insights on: - Goal setting and achievement - Mindfulness and self-awareness - Confidence building and self-esteem - Transition and change management - Identifying and overcoming obstacles - Developing resilience and coping skills - Nurturing relationships and community - Cultivating purpose and fulfillment  

Personal life coaching in any segment of your life can boost your productivity, lead to overcoming obstacles, lead to greater clarity of direction and pave the way for added fulfillment. Sessions are quite different than psychotherapy in that the focus is on the goals you have crafted for your life and you want to achieve. It is an active supportive process that includes specific objectives, step-by-step progress, handling obstacles, accountability, and techniques for moving forward towards more life.  

In my practice, I blend elements of various therapeutic modalities such as CBT, humanistic therapy, and narrative therapy to provide holistic life coaching services. By incorporating art therapy and experiential techniques, I help clients explore their values, goals, and aspirations in a creative and meaningful way. Additionally, I draw upon relational therapy principles to foster a supportive and collaborative relationship with clients, empowering them to navigate life transitions and pursue personal growth with confidence and authenticity.  

Life Coaching after betrayal trauma focuses on helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and intentional direction. While trauma stabilization is foundational, many clients reach a point where they are ready to rebuild - their identity, boundaries, relationships, and future vision. My coaching approach is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in trauma-informed principles. Together, we work on self-trust, decision-making, confidence, and creating a life that aligns with your values after betrayal. Coaching is forward-focused, empowering you to step out of survival mode and into purposeful growth.

I work with clients who are seeking direction, motivation, or support in achieving personal or professional goals. Through structured goal-setting, mindset work, and accountability, we identify obstacles, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to create meaningful change.

Through a personalized, concierge-style approach, I provide structured guidance, accountability, and practical strategies to help you overcome obstacles, strengthen confidence, improve decision-making, and achieve your goals. I am happy to support clients through life coaching; however, coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy or the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions. When appropriate, I will help you determine the level of care that best supports your needs and long-term well-being.  

Do you find yourself often thinking about or planning to take better care of yourself -- someday? Maybe you have a massage gift card that's about to expire. Maybe you keep thinking about calling your friends to schedule a "girls night out" but never quite get around to it. Maybe you have a little voice in your head telling you that this or that is more important. This same little voice also makes you feel guilty whenever you think about taking a few precious moments just for you. If this sounds familiar, then life coaching for self-care can help. While self-care can be about doing those little things to pamper ourselves, it's really so much more. Self-care is about making sure that you are tending to the sacred places in your heart and soul. It's about taking steps to ensure that you are living from a place of authenticity and have learned how to know, like, and trust yourself. Through our work you will be supported in creating a personalized self-care practice that is aligned with your values and lifestyle. If you are ready to finally make your self-care a priority, then I would love to help.
