Life Coaching for Goal Setting Help—Counseling in Charlotte, NC

Thriveworks Charlotte offers expert counseling and coaching services for individuals seeking assistance with goal setting. With a track record of helping numerous clients achieve their objectives, our team is dedicated to guiding individuals toward setting goals that align with their values and priorities while overcoming distractions.

Distinguishing Goals from Dreams

While dreams serve as the initial inspiration for our aspirations, goals are the actionable steps that turn these dreams into reality. Dreams ponder “What might be?” while goals inquire “How can it become a reality?”

  • Goals serve various crucial functions:
  • Strengthening self-control.
  • Maintaining focus on personal values.
  • Prompting meaningful actions.
  • Aligning focus and behavior.
  • Sustaining momentum despite challenges.
  • Aiming at Multiple Targets

Effective goal setting involves diversifying objectives across various life domains, including:

  • Attitude: Cultivating desirable qualities such as patience, kindness, and joy.
  • Career: Mapping out professional aspirations for the future.
  • Finances: Prioritizing financial goals, from debt repayment to investments.
  • Physical Health: Pursuing goals to enhance overall well-being.
  • Recreation: Incorporating enjoyable activities into daily routines.
  • Relationships: Strengthening connections with family, friends, and partners.
  • Education: Pursuing learning opportunities and personal growth.
  • Artistic Pursuits: Nurturing creative interests and talents.
  • Crafting Healthy, Achievable Goals

Our life coaches and counselors assist individuals in developing goals that are grounded in their talents, skills, and values. Key characteristics of successful goals include:

  • Documentation: Clearly defined and easily revisited objectives.
  • Time-bound: Each goal is set within specific timeframes for effective evaluation.
  • Specificity: Detailed and actionable goals facilitate progress.
  • Shared: Engaging support networks for accountability and encouragement.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

I have had the pleasure of working with Clair Crow professionally and can attest to what an incredible therapist she is! She has a calm demeanor and creates safety with her clients. She balances that safety and care with clear boundaries. I highly recommend her and have often referred clients to her for her expertise.

I've worked with Mrs. Matson for close to a year now and I can say with certainty that she's a great counselor to go to for help with emotional regulation and understanding, grief management, and processing trauma in healthy and beneficial ways. Her use of meditation techniques to get to the root of my emotions and habits have helped me understand so much about myself and why I operate the way I do. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone just starting out looking for a good counselor, or anyone looking for a friendly empathetic professional who listens well and draws from a wealth of information to provide really quality services.

I have seen Dr. Daniel Stillwell for a year for individual and couples counseling and I trust him immensely. He is a skilled, authentic, and highly competent professional. I’ve also referred him to others and they described the same. Thriveworks staff have been very helpful with insurance and appointments.

Adriana Blanco is wonderful. I never felt any judgement from her during our sessions. She is compassionate, firm and extremely knowledgeable. I could not see myself opening up as much with another counselor, thank you for putting her in my path.
