Sessions through The Academy of Lasting Love are mainly online as we work with clients based all over the world.

Currently, the only in-person sessions are being offered in Raleigh, North Carolina, and this needs to be requested beforehand due to availability. 

While online coaching may appear less personal than in-person sessions, many clients from The Academy have reported that the pros outweigh the cons. 

The results our clients gain through their online work speak for themselves. It's generally agreed that the experience and knowledge of the provider/coach is more impactful than working in-person with someone who may not have the skills and know-how to properly assist their clients in creating positive change.

The level of one-on-one time with child clients is determined by their age and cognitive functioning. 

In general, individual online sessions can work well for certain tweens and teens over the age of 10 years old, depending on the issues they are seeking coaching for and their goals within this space. 

Regardless, the problems that children and teens express can often be related to general family functioning and their relationships/communication with parents and siblings. Therefore, no matter how old your child is, there will need to be a certain level of parental involvement.  

For highly independent teen clients with relatively minor difficulties such as stress at school, a parent may only need to meet with the coach every 6 to 8 sessions. Whereas for toddlers, children, and younger tweens who depend more on their parents, the approach would likely be more family-based and so a parent may need to attend some, if not every session.  

Every family is unique and so we will collaborate with you create a mutually-agreeable coaching plan for you and your child. 

We want to remind parents and caregivers to go easy on yourselves—there’s no need to feel guilty or ashamed about you or your child getting coaching.

Your child really needs your support right now, and with coaching, plus your encouragement, they can start feeling like themselves again.

This can actually turn into a really positive experience for both of you and help your child build important skills they can use to handle tough situations down the road.

Childhood is often seen as a fun, carefree time, but it can also feel really overwhelming and scary for kids. They don’t always understand what’s going on around them or how to deal with big changes—whether it's something unexpected or even just growing up and hitting puberty. Since kids are still developing, they don’t always have the tools to handle stress in a healthy way.

That’s why you might see your child acting out, taking risks, being defiant, or doing things just to get attention. Usually, it’s not about “bad behavior”— rather it’s just their way of showing they’re struggling and don’t know how else to talk about what they’re feeling. Other kids might go the opposite way and shut down, keep to themselves, or seem really down and withdrawn.

It’s also pretty common for kids to feel anxious, especially when they don’t have control over what’s happening or are scared of the unknown. You might notice separation anxiety, nervousness in social situations, or even panic attacks.

And with all the time kids spend online or gaming, they’re more exposed to risks like bullying—both in person and online—or even emotional or sexual abuse. These experiences can lead to major shifts in their behavior or personality, which can definitely be worrying for parents.

It's really hard for parents to know what to do and quite often, thanks to our own family of origin issues, we’re not really equipped to deal with it in the most effective of ways.
