Podcasts about Licensed professional counselor

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by my friend Toni, in this on-air counseling session focused on the excruciating journey of her marriage coming to an end, and what it looked like to begin healing alone. She opens up about a really meaningful interaction we had, and how God used that conversation to convict her about her consumption of alcohol in the aftermath of her tragedy. We get a front row seat into the journey of healing after the loss of a marriage, and how you have to reveal what needs to be healed, rather than cover it up or numb it.  You can also ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠watch the full episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Hey team! In today's episode, I'm chatting with Valerie McIntyre, a Licensed Professional Counselor, an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, and the author of A Journey to a Valiant Mind, a book that dives into navigating ADHD with resilience and self-compassion. In our conversation, we dive into how ADHD isn't just about task management, but how, more often than not, it's also about emotional regulation. Valerie talks about the complex emotions that come with ADHD, especially for late-diagnosed individuals, and how those feelings often get tangled up with shame and self-judgment. We also touch on how perfectionism, rejection sensitivity, and even seemingly small tasks can build up into emotional barriers. Valerie's approach emphasizes compassion, and this episode is filled with tools to help you break free from self-doubt and cultivate a more positive, empowered relationship with your ADHD. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at https://HackingYourADHD.com/231 https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk - YouTube https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD - Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. It's important to recognize that emotional struggles are often rooted in our internalized beliefs about our ADHD symptoms. These beliefs shape how we perceive ourselves and what we're able to accomplish, and our emotional responses. 2. Often, there can be a struggle when shifting from one task to another. If we can acknowledge that there may be a delay in how your brain transitions between tasks and give ourselves time to adapt, we can make those transitions easier. 3. We can use reflective exercises, like journaling or discussion questions, to gain insight into our emotional triggers. This can help us identify better coping mechanisms that actually address the underlying issues we're trying to overcome.

Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn   Deuteronomy 29:29a (NKJV) "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us"   Questions and Topics We Cover: Are there any specific questions you recommend we ask our spouse periodically? Will you elaborate on your finding that "men and women tend to have different insecurities that the process of sex can help heal or hurt"? You write "Having a comfortable way to signal (and receive) openness or interest will create connection and prevent much pain." So, how can couples begin to develop their own private language or signals to communicate effectively in a healthy manner?   Thank You to Our Sponsor: The Sue Neihouser Team   Shaunti Feldhahn received her graduate degree from Harvard University and was an analyst on Wall Street before unexpectedly becoming a social researcher, best-selling author, and popular speaker.   Today, Shaunti applies her analytical skills to investigate eye-opening, life-changing truths about relationships, both at home and in the workplace.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Today is a really special session with a very special person, because today I sit down with my friend, and my “real life client”, Levi Lusko. A few years ago, Pastor Levi Lusko went through a devastating season filled with unexpected anxiety, panic attacks, and “spiraling”, and it hit him hard. We sat down for a raw, real, honest conversation about that difficult season, and processed his experience and what he learned as he navigated that hard time, including the morning he picked up the phone and called me to let me know he needed help. I am beyond proud of my friend, all that he's learned, and how strong he's become over the past few years. This guy is the real deal, and I couldn't be more honored to have played a small role in his healing journey.

Lawyers often face relentless exposure to stress and trauma, whether navigating emotionally charged areas of the law, handling high-stakes matters, or confronting a host of other pressures inherent to the profession. On top of this, they must also address the emotional toll legal issues may take on their clients. Few attorneys are equipped with the tools to manage this alone, but there are counselors, support programs, and resources available to help. Rocky Dhir talks with Alicia Freeman of the Texas Lawyers' Assistance Program (TLAP) about navigating emotional distress (both for attorneys and clients) and accessing needed support. They discuss how to appropriately engage with clients' emotional needs, set healthy boundaries, and provide necessary resources.

We talk about the connection between nutrition and mood, why numbing emotions isn't the answer, and how private practice therapists can stop pathologizing normal human experiences.  This one's honest, eye-opening, and a little bit rebellious—in the best way.

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.   Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person's feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.   This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams is joined by Sue Bruckner, a licensed professional counselor and holistic relationship coach, for an open conversation centered on supporting highly sensitive women through the experience of divorce and significant life transitions. Sue draws from both her own story and years of professional experience to paint a nuanced picture of what it truly means to be highly sensitive. She highlights that this trait, which is present in about 20 to 30 percent of people, is not a diagnosis or a flaw, but a natural, biological characteristic. Sue uses the acronym DOES to illustrate the experience: deeply feeling emotions, frequent overstimulation, heightened emotional responsiveness and empathy, and a fine-tuned awareness of subtleties in both people and surroundings. These traits, she explains, bring real strengths but can also create unique challenges, especially when navigating the emotional turmoil of divorce.The conversation moves into practical territory as Sue describes how highly sensitive women are often drawn into patterns and relationships that echo their early life experiences, sometimes with partners who are less attuned or even emotionally distant. She underscores the importance of boundaries, both with others and with oneself, and how establishing them is tied not only to personal safety but also energy management and self-respect. Together, Sue and Mardi discuss the necessity of self-compassion, highlighting how learning to be kind to oneself is foundational for making positive shifts in your family, in the workplace, and in daily life.Sue introduces the importance of clarifying core values as a way to guide difficult decisions and maintain healthy boundaries. She shares about her core values inventory, adapted from her work with Brene Brown, which she offers as a gift to listeners wanting to step into a more aligned and empowered new chapter. Through their warm and reassuring exchange, Mardi and Sue remind listeners that while sensitivity can bring vulnerability, it is also a profound source of strength, especially when met with understanding, thoughtful support, and self-acceptance. Those seeking further support are encouraged to connect with Sue directly for more resources and personalized guidance, reinforcing the message that sensitive women do not have to navigate these transitions alone.About the Guest:Sue Bruckner, a Licensed Professional Counselor turned Holistic Relationship Coach, is the founder of With Intention, a transformative personal development company created specifically for sensitive women who experience life deeply and often find their depth undervalued in relationships. After walking through the fire of an unhealthy marriage, navigating a challenging divorce, and facing unexpected widowhood, Sue transformed these profound experiences into her life's calling. Sue's signature program, Tribe Rising, is an intimate online sanctuary where sensitive women navigating relationship transitions find not just healing but also profound transformation and authentic sisterhood. This unique membership platform operates at the community, group, and individual levels, meeting women exactly where they are on their journey. Through a powerful blend of growth mindset principles, spiritual awareness, and positive psychology, Sue guides women to transform emotional chaos into the intentional creation of their next chapter—where relationship endings become the most profound beginnings they could imagine.For Sue's gift, Core Value Inventory: https://wonderful-dawn-34642.myflodesk.com/et5zo892qvTo connect with Sue:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suebruckner/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/withintentioncoaching/Community: https://wonderful-dawn-34642.myflodesk.com/i4jpplh08tAbout the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach,...

What happens when you finally find an authentic marketing strategy that aligns with who you are? In today's episode, I chat with Liberated Business alumna, Brittney Scott, a therapist and mother-daughter relationship coach who completely transformed her approach to running her private practice.Brittney shares how she went from doing dancing videos on Instagram and letting clients dictate her fees to holding strong boundaries, raising her fees, and embracing a marketing strategy that aligns with her values and attracts her ideal clients. You'll hear about the approach she's using now (that she loves), how she dramatically raised her fees without losing income and how she's working fewer hours as a result.Most importantly, Brittney reveals how these shifts helped her become the kind of mom she wants to be - available for school pickup and fully present in her daughter's life. This conversation is a powerful example of what's possible when you run your business instead of letting it run you.More about Brittney Scott:Brittney Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor and mother daughter relationship coach. She works with women who have been hurt by their mothers in some way and want to heal from it and have relationships that aren't affected by that pain. Brittney is a military spouse currently living in California. She is also the eldest daughter and gets it!Topics covered in this episode: Brittney's journey of moving to California and losing 70% of her incomeThe different marketing strategies she tried but absolutely hatedHow she found an authentic approach that attracts ideal clientsThe importance of designing your private practice around being the parent you want to beThe mindset shift that helped her take back control of her businessWhy she was hesitant to invest in Liberated Business after other coaching experiencesThe value of a supportive community when making significant business changesConnect with Brittney Scott:Website: www.brittneymscott.comPodcast: Mother Daughter Relationship ShowInstagram: @theBrittneyScottThreads: @thebrittneyscottConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyResources from this episode:Liberated Business:

Valerie Montgomery: Undoing Generational Silence On this new season of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, is live in-studio with special guest Valerie Montgomery. Little bit about Valerie's story from her:  My father would not let us use the word “depressed” while I was growing up. Turns out, his mother, my grandmother, completed suicide shortly after I had my third baby. It had seemed so normal for her to be “miserable,” which my parents would couch as dramatic. I understand the family culture around mental illness from the inside, as a child and then a young adult. Short bio: Valerie Montgomery is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. As the middle child of two public school teachers, she became a military spouse which brought her to Colorado. Shortly after her youngest was 15 she realized her lifelong dream of going to Counseling school. She now operates her women-owned counseling business marketing to women, but working with adults who experienced less-than-nurturing parenting during their childhoods.

This week on Catholic Sprouts, Catherine DiNuzzo (a Catholic Licensed Professional Counselor) will take the children through a very basic understanding of living mental wellness, including understanding their feelings (helping them to know that feelings are good and that they can be expressed). She also goes through an age-appropriate understanding of how the body and brain function regarding fears and scary things. Catherine connects the dots by sharing good physical ways to utilize the senses and physical movement to calm the body (heart, stomach, and brain) as well as how special the gift of the Church is for our spiritual mental wellness, and how God always knew exactly what we needed. *Catherine purposefully left out the term “anxiety” because it frequently becomes a label that a child may too easily associate with. Mon: What mental wellnes is and understanding our feelings. Tue: How our brains and feelings work together. Wed: Tangible, physical strategies to help us work through and manage our feelings. Thu: How the Church helps us understand and live out mental wellness. Fri: How to talk to others about our feelings. Hello! I'm Catherine DiNuzzo, a Catholic speaker, Licensed Professional Counselor, and author of the Catholicbest-seller “The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety”. I am also a mother of 4 teenagers, navigating the trenches with my husband as we strive to raise our kids into saints! I want to provide you with resources, tools, and information to help you grow in your faith and mental wellness. Over on my website, SacredHeartMentalWellness.com, we've provided free resources and information specifically for Catholic Sprouts parents, as well as some products and options to help tackle the realities of raising children in our culture where actually experiencing mental wellness is so difficult.   Find fun, meaningful, faith-filled projects for your own family in the Catholic Family Resource Library. https://catholicsprouts.com/catholic-family-resource-library-signup/  Catholic Sprouts is a production of Spoke Street Media.
