In today’s changing mental health landscape, therapists are hungry for new ways to reach more people, reduce burnout, and increase income—all without crossing ethical or legal lines. If that’s you, you’re not alone.
The good news? You don’t have to be limited by one-on-one sessions to make an impact. Therapists across the country are creating online groups, courses, and coaching programs that provide powerful support—without stepping into regulated clinical territory.
Here’s how you can do it ethically, legally, and profitably—and why platforms like Thetsy are here to help.
✅ What You Can Offer Without Violating Licensure Rules
The key to staying compliant is this: Don’t offer therapy unless you’re licensed in the client’s state, and don’t diagnose or treat mental illness in non-clinical spaces.
Instead, focus on offerings like:
Psychoeducational Groups
These are content-rich experiences focused on teaching specific skills or concepts.
Examples:
- Nervous system regulation
- Attachment education
- Trauma-informed parenting
- Mindfulness for stress relief
Coaching Programs
Future-focused, goal-oriented, and strategy-based.
Examples:
- Burnout recovery for caregivers
- Holistic self-care coaching
- Relationship skills training
- Career clarity for helpers and healers
Support Circles and Community Groups
Facilitated spaces for shared experiences and emotional connection—not therapy.
Examples:
- Grief groups
- Faith-based support circles
- Partners of addicts support
- Groups for therapists navigating burnout
Courses and Workshops
One-to-many learning models that scale your expertise and serve people across state lines.
Examples:
- A self-paced course on boundaries
- A 4-week live program on emotional regulation
- Weekend workshops on body-based healing tools
🔒 How to Stay Within Scope (and Sleep Easy at Night)
- Clearly state: This is not therapy.
- Don’t offer individualized advice based on someone's mental health history.
- Avoid diagnosing or treating any mental illness.
- Use terms like participants or members, not clients.
- Be crystal clear in your marketing and disclaimers.
💸 The Financial Benefits
Offering group and coaching services isn't just ethical—it’s smart business.
For You:

- Reduced burnout: Move from emotionally intensive work to content-rich connection.
For Them:
