Wellness Life Coaching | Evidence-Based Support for Lasting Change

With Dr. Anne Creekmore

At my practice, wellness coaching is grounded in my work as a licensed clinical psychologist and built on evidence-based therapy principles. This approach blends therapy and coaching to help you create meaningful, sustainable change—without losing sight of your mental health.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out, wellness coaching offers structured, goal-oriented support while drawing from proven psychological tools used in clinical practice.

What Is Wellness Coaching?

Wellness coaching focuses on helping you move forward—clarifying your goals, building healthier habits, and improving your overall well-being.

Unlike traditional therapy, coaching is future-focused. However, as a clinical psychologist in private practice, I bring a deeper understanding of behavior, emotional patterns, and stress management into the process.

This means your coaching experience is:

  • Evidence-based
  • Trauma-informed
  • Rooted in psychological science
  • Focused on real, lasting change

Wellness Coaching vs. Therapy: What’s the Difference?

Both services can be powerful—but they serve different purposes.

Therapy (such as therapy for anxiety, therapy for depression, or trauma therapy) focuses on healing, diagnosis, and deeper emotional work.

Coaching focuses on:

  • Burnout recovery
  • Stress management coaching
  • Health behavior change coaching
  • Values-based goal setting
  • Building sustainable habits

If you’re unsure which is right for you, we can determine the best fit together.


Who Wellness Coaching Is For

Wellness coaching may be a good fit if you are:

  • Experiencing high-achiever burnout or chronic stress
  • Struggling with perfectionism or people-pleasing patterns
  • Navigating life transitions or career changes
  • Wanting better routines, focus, or follow-through
  • Seeking executive functioning support (organization, planning, habits)
  • Looking for structured guidance without needing clinical therapy

I often work with:

  • Professionals
  • Young adults and college students
  • Individuals seeking balance, clarity, and direction

My Approach to Wellness Coaching

As a stress management psychologist, my coaching integrates:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles
  • Mindfulness-based strategies
  • Compassion-focused techniques
  • Trauma-informed care

This allows us to address not just what you do—but why you do it—so change actually sticks.


What We Can Work On

Coaching sessions are personalized, but common focus areas include:

  • Burnout coaching and recovery planning
  • Stress management and emotional regulation
  • Building consistent routines and habit coaching
  • Improving focus and productivity
  • Clarifying values and long-term direction
  • Creating realistic, sustainable goals

Online Wellness Coaching (Telehealth Available)

I offer online coaching sessions for clients who prefer flexibility and convenience.

Whether you’re looking for a telehealth psychologist or simply want support from home, virtual sessions provide the same structured, confidential care.


What to Expect

  • Collaborative, structured sessions
  • Clear goals and actionable strategies
  • Practical tools you can apply immediately
  • A supportive, nonjudgmental space

This is not one-size-fits-all coaching—it’s tailored, thoughtful, and grounded in clinical expertise.


Important Note

Wellness coaching is not a substitute for therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions.

If you are seeking treatment for:

  • Anxiety or panic
  • Depression
  • Trauma or PTSD
  • Sleep issues (such as insomnia)
  • Relationship concerns (e.g., couples counseling)

We can discuss transitioning into therapy services that better meet your needs.
