EP 191: Therapy Intensives: The Path to Freedom + Flexibility with Carolyn Solo


Listen Later

What if you could create more freedom in your private practice without sacrificing income or client results? In this episode, I sit down with Carolyn Solo, an EMDR therapist and coach, to explore how intensives can completely shift the way you work and the way your clients heal. Carolyn shares her journey from burnout to building an intensives-only practice and why this model has been the key to balancing her life as a mom of three while still serving clients at the highest level.

We talk about the strategy, structure, marketing behind building a thriving intensive practice and the mindset shifts it takes to move away from the traditional therapy hour. If you’ve been curious about intensives or if you’re looking for a new way to bring in revenue while creating more time freedom, this conversation is going to give you both inspiration and tangible ideas to run with.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

  • 4:18 - The surprising moment that forced Carolyn to rethink the traditional therapy model

  • 7:53 - Why intensives can be a lifeline for therapists facing burnout

  • 10:26 - The referral strategy that gets high-ticket clients saying “yes”

  • 13:39 - How credibility and visibility build demand for intensives

  • 15:54 - Carolyn’s exact pricing and structure (and why it works)

  • 18:41 - The “retreat effect” that makes intensives so powerful for clients

  • 20:15 - Handling the out-of-network question without losing momentum

  • 22:28 - The free resource Carolyn created that therapists can use right away

If this episode sparks something in you, I’d love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another therapist who needs to hear this. And don’t forget to download Carolyn’s free 22-page intensive workbook to start imagining how this model could fit into your own practice.
