Can doctors or therapists coach online—legally? 👇

In this episode I break down the myths, the risks, and the 5 rules licensed medical and health professionals can follow to build a coaching business without stepping outside your scope.

You’ll learn:

– Coaching vs. clinical care: what you can coach on and what to avoid (no diagnosing, no treating conditions).

– Titles & jurisdiction: when you can use “MD / LCSW / ND / DC” and when to use “coach/consultant,” especially across state lines.

– Telehealth vs. coaching (and why they’re not the same).

– Why insurance billing doesn’t apply to coaching—and how to build a cash-pay program client's value.

– The role of a clear client agreement (primary caregiver disclaimer, scope, outcomes, accountability).

This is not legal advice—always consult your board/counsel. 

But after helping thousands of licensed pros build online programs, these principles will help you avoid common licensing pitfalls and launch with confidence.
