   Ep 20 - Attract $200+ Clients on Instagram Without Going Viral

   In this episode, Danik answers one of the most frequently asked questions she gets from coaching clients and colleagues: How can I use Instagram to attract premium private pay clients without becoming a content creator? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to perform on social media — dancing to trending audios, posting daily reels, or chasing likes — this episode will offer a grounded, spacious alternative. Danik breaks down what it means to use Instagram as a strategic tool rather than a platform for performative content creation. She shares practical advice on how to build real relationships, communicate clearly with your ideal client, and show up consistently (without the burnout). If you’re a therapist who wants your practice to thrive without selling your soul to the algorithm, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The key difference between using Instagram as a tool vs. being a content creator — and why that difference matters. How to use storytelling, strategic video formats, and relationship-building to attract aligned premium fee clients. Why you need to make your therapy business work for you first, before adding additional streams of income. 1 HOUR FREE MARKETING AUDIT: (https://calendly.com/connect-rjj4/30min) Get me to review your website, Psychology Today profile, social media, networking strategy, fee structure, and niching work so you know what's working well and what needs to change to attract your ideal client at a $200+ fee - with no pressure to buy anything from me.

   Ep 19 - Start Preparing Your Private Practice for the Summer Slowdown NOW

   In this episode of The Liberated Therapists Club, host Danik Bernier dives into a topic that sneaks up on many private practice therapists: the summer slowdown. While it may still feel far away, Danik explains why spring is actually the most crucial time to prepare financially and strategically for the dip in client bookings that often happens in July and August. From understanding patterns in insurance usage to building a summer cushion and implementing smart marketing strategies, Danik offers a clear plan to help therapists avoid panic and stay grounded when things inevitably slow down. Tune in for practical tips and a gentle reminder that proactive planning now can lead to a much calmer and more intentional summer. 3 Important Elements Discussed: Why therapists should start preparing in spring for the summer slowdown, including identifying your session goals based on your current rate and optimizing your marketing. Three key marketing strategies to generate more client referrals: consistent networking, optimizing your website and Psychology Today profile, and creating long-form content to repurpose on social media. The importance of niche positioning and consistency in marketing, and how a free marketing audit with Danik can be the first step toward strategic, sustainable growth.
