Meet Carly Hill, LCSW, Business Coach For Therapists

Carly Hill, LCSW, is a business strategist and coach who helps clinicians venture beyond the therapy room and build successful, sustainable online businesses. Through her signature programs and trainings, she teaches everything from understanding the difference between therapy and coachin g to mastering niche clarity, marketing, sales, branding, and mindset. Her mission is simple: to help clinicians impact more lives while creating freedom-based businesses.

Before becoming a business coach, Carly worked as a therapist and loved the work she did—but she loved her freedom even more. She longed for time freedom, energy freedom, travel freedom, and financial freedom—something she couldn’t fully experience within the traditional therapy model.

Seeing so many other therapists facing burnout and financial limitations, Carly began questioning the system that left such highly educated professionals overworked and underpaid. She started a networking group to help fellow therapists combat burnout, which soon evolved into a larger mission: to find real solutions for therapists who wanted more flexibility and fulfillment.

Through her own discovery, research, and training in high-ticket group coaching and organic lead generation, Carly developed a proven client attraction system she calls the Modern Marketing Masterplan. This approach allowed her to grow from $0 to consistent six-figure months in record time.

Today, Carly’s focus is on sharing everything she’s learned—empowering therapists to leverage their expertise, attract ideal clients, and design businesses that align with the freedom-filled lives they deserve.

Carly believes every therapist has the power to build a business that supports both their purpose and their peace.
