What is parent coaching, and how is it different from therapy for my child?

Parent coaching is focused on you as the parent—your skills, confidence, and strategies for handling everyday challenges at home. Instead of bringing your child to every session, you meet with a licensed therapist or parenting specialist who helps you understand your child’s behavior, adjust your responses, and create a practical plan for your family. Coaching is about tools, patterns, and leadership, while child therapy is focused more on your child’s internal emotional world and direct therapeutic support. Many families benefit from a combination of both approaches.

What kinds of issues can parent coaching help with?

Parent coaching can help with daily power struggles, tantrums, emotional outbursts, screen time battles, sibling conflict, homework stress, and communication that often ends in arguing or shutdown. It is also helpful for families navigating ADHD, anxiety, major life transitions like divorce or blending families, and for parents who simply feel stuck and want to be more intentional. If something in your home feels tense, chaotic, or confusing, parent coaching can help you create more calm and clarity.

How many parent coaching sessions will we need?

The number of parent coaching sessions depends on your goals, your child’s needs, and your family’s situation. Some parents feel relief and see meaningful change after 4–6 sessions, while others choose to continue longer to reinforce new habits, get support through major transitions, or work on multiple concerns. Your therapist will talk with you about your goals, check in regularly, and help you decide what pace and length of coaching makes sense for your family.

Can parent coaching still help if my partner won’t come?

Yes. Parent coaching can still be very effective even if only one parent or caregiver attends. You will learn strategies for responding differently, setting healthier limits, and inviting more cooperation, all of which can shift the tone in your home. Often, once a hesitant partner sees that coaching is practical, supportive, and non-judgmental, they become more open to participating later.

Do you offer virtual parent coaching, or do I have to come into the office?

The Counseling Corner offers both in-person and virtual parent coaching. You can meet in person at our Orlando, Clermont, or Orange City/DeLand offices, or through secure telehealth anywhere in Florida. Many busy parents prefer online sessions because they fit better around work, school, and family schedules. We will help you choose the option that works best for your family’s needs and location.
