Coaching
Coaching is a method to guide people towards specific changes, with less emphasis on and attending to psychological and emotional roadblocks. Coaching can help an individual to focus on a desired outcomes while honoring their own success, strengths, and competency.

| Client with possible diminished functioning | Coachee generally high functioning |
| Client may feel stigmatized | Coachee generally not stigmatized |
| Payment at appointment time | Payment for multiple future appointments |
| More nuanced and slow | Less in-depth and fast |
| Limited self-disclosure | More self-disclosure |
