Marketing Therapy

This episode kicks off a brand-new bonus series inside Confident Copy: alumni check-in sessions.
Think of this like a post-discharge check-in—where therapists who’ve already completed Confident Copy come back with real questions about what they’re noticing in their marketing now. What’s working, what’s slowing down, and where they’re unsure how to adapt in a changing market.
In this first session, I answer two thoughtful questions from alumni who are seeing slower inquiries despite having strong websites and clear niches. We talk honestly about social media fatigue, fears around AI replacing therapy, and why some of the most effective marketing strategies right now are also the least flashy.
If you’ve been wondering how to adjust your marketing without chasing every new platform or trend, this episode will help you refocus on what actually drives high-quality inquiries today.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ The difference between attention and intent—and why that distinction matters more than ever in therapist marketing
2️⃣ Why social media isn’t where most therapy decisions are actually being made
4️⃣ Why networking still works—and how to network with the right people

About Marketing Therapy
Marketing Therapy is the podcast where therapists learn how to market their private practices without burnout, self-doubt, or sleazy tactics. Hosted by Anna Walker—marketing coach, strategist, and founder of Walker Strategy Co—each episode brings you clear, grounded advice to help you attract the right-fit, full-fee clients and grow a practice you feel proud of.

This episode is a deeply honest look at what it really takes to build a sustainable, values-aligned private practice—especially if you’re coming from agency work, wrestling with burnout, or questioning whether full-fee is truly possible for you.
I’m joined by Monica Jurado Kelly, LCSW, who shares her journey from agency and school-based work into private practice, through taking insurance, and eventually de-paneling and building a full-fee practice she can actually trust. We talk about niching with nuance, marketing as a learned skill (not a personality trait), and what shifts internally when your practice starts to feel stable instead of precarious.
This conversation isn’t about shortcuts or overnight success. It’s about strategy, support, and learning to trust yourself again as a business owner.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ How Monica clarified a niche rooted in lived experience, culture, and over-functioning—without boxing herself in
2️⃣ What changed when she stopped trying to do all the marketing things and focused on relationships and clarity
3️⃣ What it was really like to de-panel, raise fees, and hit her first $10K month
4️⃣ Why community, strategy, and learning therapist-specific marketing made all the difference

You know you need a niche. You might even *have* one. But if putting words to what you do still feels hard—or you’re worried your niche isn’t landing the way it should—this episode will feel deeply validating.
In this special episode, I’m sharing a live niche coaching session where I coached over ten therapists in real time on how to clarify who they serve, how they help, and what actually sets them apart in a saturated market. You’ll hear the real questions clinicians are asking, the sticking points they’re running into, and the “aha” moments that bring everything into focus.
This episode isn’t about finding the perfect niche statement. It’s about understanding how niches work, how to make yours client-centered, and how to talk about your work in a way that feels natural, confident, and easy for others to refer to.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
1️⃣ The four most effective ways to niche—and how to tell which one fits your work best
2️⃣ Why client-friendly language matters more than clinical accuracy in your niche statement
3️⃣ How to talk about your niche differently with clients vs. referral partners
4️⃣ What to do if you “like working with everyone” but still need a clear marketing message
