CBT-Based Coaching at Beacon Academy with Dr. Barry M. Gregory Ed.D., M.Ed., BA

Cognitive-behavioral coaching is a transformative process that empowers individuals to achieve personal and professional goals through guidance, motivation, and practical strategies. At Beacon Academy, our approach focuses on unlocking potential, fostering a positive mindset, and creating actionable plans to drive success. We provide ongoing support and accountability, helping clients overcome limiting beliefs and develop new coping or life skills. Our goal is to enable individuals to take control of their lives, make positive changes, and realize their full potential in various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and personal growth.

We work collaboratively with clients to identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that hinder personal or professional growth, replacing them with positive, productive ones. This future-oriented and goal-focused approach often deals with present and future issues rather than past experiences. CBC at Beacon Academy uses similar tools and techniques to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), such as goal setting and problem-solving, but is less clinical and more flexible, tailored to each client’s specific goals and context. CBT uses cognitive-behavioral principles to drive lasting change and success.

Coaching is often considered an alternative to therapy for individuals seeking a forward-focused, goal-oriented approach to personal and professional development. It emphasizes practical strategies, empowerment, and motivation, helping clients achieve specific objectives through actionable steps and accountability. Coaching is typically more flexible, less clinical, and often time-limited, making it ideal for those who prefer concrete solutions and quick results. While therapy is essential for addressing deep-seated psychological issues and emotional healing, coaching is best suited for those looking to enhance their performance and make proactive changes in their lives.
