Social media marketing for therapists can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to balancing authenticity with professionalism. How much should you share? Do you need separate personal and business accounts? And how can you create content that actually attracts the right clients without feeling like you’re constantly selling?

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Laura Haley, a content strategist for travel influencers, to talk about what really works when it comes to social media marketing for therapists. We discuss how to blend personal and professional content, why storytelling builds trust, and simple ways to show up consistently without burning out. If you’ve ever felt stuck when it comes to marketing your private practice online, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and actionable strategies to make it easier.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How to balance personal and professional content without oversharing.
• Why storytelling and authenticity are key to building trust with potential clients.
• The benefits of using one social media account instead of separating business and personal.
• Simple systems to make content creation easier (even if you don’t love social media).
• The power of engagement—why connecting with other therapists can grow your practice.

What’s it like to run a private practice while living on a sailboat? In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I talk to Raquel Ortega, a DBT therapist who has taken her practice offshore—literally! After working in a DBT clinic in London, Raquel found herself at a crossroads when the clinic shut down. Instead of settling down, she embraced a nomadic life, moving back to her home in Mallorca and taking her practice online. Now, she lives aboard a sailboat with her partner, navigating the ocean while continuing to help her clients.

Join us as Raquel shares the ups and downs of her sailing therapist lifestyle, including how she manages her caseload, deals with unreliable internet, and even crossed the Atlantic Ocean—all while maintaining her practice.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How Raquel transitioned from working in a London DBT clinic to becoming a full-time sailing therapist.
• What it’s really like to run a private practice from a sailboat, including managing time zones and internet challenges.
• How she navigates working remotely while sailing across the globe, including her recent Atlantic Ocean crossing.
