Coaching with Rosheen Haumann, LPC
What is Coaching
Coaching is a powerful, future-focused process that helps individuals identify personal or professional goals, develop actionable plans, and overcome obstacles that stand in the way of achieving their dreams. Unlike therapy or counseling, which may focus on healing past wounds, coaching is all about unlocking your potential and guiding you toward the future you envision.
How Does Coaching Work?
In coaching, you work with a trained coach who helps you clarify your goals, create strategies for reaching them, and hold you accountable along the way. This can include anything from building better habits, improving time management, growing a business, enhancing personal relationships, or reaching peak performance in your career or personal life.
A coach is like a personal guide who walks beside you as you take action. Here are some key elements of the coaching process:
Goal Setting
Together, we’ll clearly define what success looks like for you.
Action Planning
We’ll break down large goals into smaller, achievable steps.
Accountability
Regular check-ins ensure you’re staying on track and making progress.
Support & Motivation
You’ll have a trusted partner to encourage you, offer new perspectives, and provide guidance when challenges arise.

The Difference Between Coaching and Counseling
While both coaching and counseling focus on helping individuals grow, they approach that growth in different ways:
Counseling often addresses past traumas, mental health diagnoses, and emotional healing. It is recognized as a clinical service and is typically covered by insurance.
Coaching focuses on goal achievement, personal development, and life transformation. It is future-oriented and does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions, which is why it’s not covered by insurance.
Coaching is best suited for those who feel emotionally and mentally stable but are seeking guidance, motivation, or clarity in reaching their goals.
In addition, counseling is typically more structured around addressing specific mental health challenges and may involve long-term treatment plans.
Coaching, on the other hand, is generally a shorter-term, results-driven process that focuses on tangible outcomes. Coaching sessions provide accountability and encouragement to help you stay on track with your personal or professional goals, while counseling delves deeper into understanding emotional patterns and mental health.
If you’re looking for practical strategies to achieve your goals and are in a stable place emotionally, coaching may be the right choice for you.
Focus on Goals vs. Healing
Coaching: Coaching is about helping you set and achieve specific personal or professional goals. It’s action-oriented and designed to move you forward quickly by focusing on solutions and growth.
Counseling: Counseling often focuses on healing emotional wounds and addressing mental health concerns, delving into past experiences to help manage issues such as trauma, anxiety, or depression.
Future-Oriented vs. Past-Oriented
Coaching: Coaching is primarily future-focused, guiding you toward what you want to accomplish in your life. It emphasizes where you’re going rather than where you’ve been.
Counseling: Counseling tends to be more past-oriented, addressing unresolved issues, difficult experiences, or mental health conditions to foster healing and emotional well-being.
Personal Development vs. Mental Health
Coaching: Coaching is ideal for those who are already emotionally stable but seek growth, development, and accountability in areas like career, relationships, or personal goals.
Counseling: Counseling is a clinical service aimed at addressing mental health diagnoses, offering treatment for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, often covered by insurance as part of healthcare.
How Does Coaching Work?

A coach is like a personal guide who walks beside you as you take action. Here are some key elements of the coaching process:
Goal Setting
Coaching begins with clearly defining what success looks like for you. Together with your coach, you’ll identify your goals—whether personal or professional—and create a vision for what you want to achieve. This process helps bring clarity to your ambitions, ensuring that your goals are specific, measurable, and attainable.
Action Planning
Once your goals are set, the next step is to create a roadmap for achieving them. Your coach will help you break down your big goals into smaller, manageable steps, allowing you to move forward with a clear, actionable plan that feels achievable and realistic.
Accountability
One of the key benefits of coaching is having someone to hold you accountable. Your coach will track your progress, check in regularly, and help keep you on course toward your goals. This accountability ensures that you’re consistently making progress, even when challenges arise.
Support
Coaching provides a supportive environment where you can share your thoughts, fears, and ambitions. Your coach is there to offer guidance and encouragement, providing a safe space to explore your ideas and emotions without judgment.
Motivation
Staying motivated can be one of the biggest challenges in achieving goals. A coach helps you stay inspired by celebrating your wins, reminding you of your purpose, and helping you overcome obstacles. This ongoing motivation keeps you moving forward with confidence and energy.
Overcoming Obstacles
Along the journey, you may encounter challenges or setbacks. Your coach helps you identify potential roadblocks and develop strategies to overcome them. By addressing these obstacles head-on, you’ll be better equipped to stay on track and adapt to any unexpected changes.
