If you're licensed in multiple states—or practicing under PSYPACT—it can feel like you've suddenly unlocked access to an enormous pool of potential clients. But as Anna explains in this episode, the ability to legally serve clients in more locations is not the same thing as having a marketing strategy that attracts them.
In this conversation, Anna breaks down why trying to market yourself everywhere often leads to weaker results, how geography still matters even for virtual practices, and why choosing a clear primary market can make your marketing significantly more effective. You'll walk away with a practical framework for expanding thoughtfully while staying focused on the clients you're best positioned to serve.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:1️⃣ Why being licensed in multiple states is a credential—not a marketing strategy.
2️⃣ How to choose a primary market that strengthens your visibility, referrals, and SEO.
3️⃣ Why trying to market to too many locations at once can dilute your results.
4️⃣ Practical ways to expand into secondary markets without losing focus or momentum.
