If your therapy website is packed with impressive-sounding phrases like “evidence-based modalities” or “navigating relational stressors,” this episode is for you. I’m diving into one of the most common missteps I see therapists make: trying to sound smart at the expense of real connection.

You’re not alone if writing for your website feels way harder than it should. You’ve spent years immersed in academia and clinical spaces that value expertise and precision—but that same tone often creates distance with potential clients. Today, we’ll talk about what your copy should sound like instead, and I’ll walk you through practical rewrites to help your site feel more like you.

Whether you're struggling to fill your caseload or just want your online presence to feel more authentic, this episode will help you make a meaningful shift that resonates with the right-fit clients.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

1️⃣ The surprising reason “professional” copy often misses the mark—and what to focus on instead

2️⃣ A simple test to instantly tell if your copy connects or confuses

3️⃣ Real-world before-and-after website copy examples you can learn from and adapt
