Differences Between Coaching and Psychotherapy Psychotherapy generally deals with emotional or behavioral difficulties, and/or past painful situations. Although there are exceptions, as in the case of some humanistic or solution focused psychotherapy practices, psychotherapy usually involves treating DSM-IV disorders. The aim in psychotherapy is usually to bring the client to normal functioning. Therapy is usually conducted in-person. Only occasionally is therapy conducted over the telephone. Coaching helps an already successful, generally well-functioning person to reach a higher level of success. Coaches also help client's leverage their strengths and develop themselves in ways that bring greater success and satisfaction in their career or in their personal life. Coaching is often conducted in-person or over the telephone. The aim of coaching is generally to achieve excellence and greater success.
