How to Simplify Your Social Media Marketing and Attract Inquiries (without posting everywhere)
How to Simplify Your Social Media Marketing and Attract Inquiries (without posting everywhere)
I recorded this right after Facebook awarded me an “Emerging Talent” badge — and it got me thinking about how to use social media in a way that actually works for therapists. In this episode, I share how I simplify my marketing, why I only focus on one platform, and the exact approach I use to consistently attract inquiries without spending hours online. If you’re tired of creating endless Canva posts that don’t convert, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
This one is for women in private practice — counsellors, psychologists, social workers, accredited mental health social workers, and play therapists — who want a simpler, calmer approach to marketing that still brings in clients. I talk about niching (and how it makes content effortless), why Facebook often works better than Instagram for our field, and how to “show not tell” your expertise so potential clients feel connected and safe reaching out.
You’ll walk away knowing how to pick one platform, post less but connect more, and create trust through genuine conversations — not algorithms. I also talk about authenticity, karma, and why giving freely online actually leads to more aligned clients.
