What is Coaching?
Hello! I’m Melanie Gallo, PhD, the Certified Mental Health Coach and WorkLife psychology specialist behind Coach2GO, and I am so happy you are here!
Wondering what the heck is Coach2GO? Read on as I connect the dots between coaching, mental health coaching, therapy, digital coaching, and how everything works here!
Coaching focuses on taking actions in the present to achieve a goal or make a change that improves your life in a meaningful way. Coaching also provides a framework for you to explore what's most important to you right now. People use coaching for a variety of things they want to work on like coping skills for stress, anxiety, and depression, building or changing habits, support with goal setting, relationships, communication, increased motivation, finding harmony between work and life, and more.
Mental health coaching is like snorkeling while therapy is like scuba diving. And as a mental health coach I can see and recognize many of the things going on down deep, but I do not go down there. I stay up top and help you establish and maintain momentum in the current on your journey towards your goals.
It is important to note that mental health coaching is not therapy (or counseling).
Therapy (also called psychotherapy or counseling), on the other hand, consists of sessions with a licensed clinician to help you address ongoing psychological symptoms, or patterns of thought, behavior, or emotion that no longer serve you. Therapy can allow you to dive deeper into past or present issues to make positive change in your life. If based on your life and how you know yourself best, you feel that therapy is a fit, psychologytoday.com is the largest directory of licensed clinicians and can be a great place to find support.
Digital coaching is tech-enabled coaching provided by a human coach, both synchronous (scheduled, in real-time) and asynchronous (on your own time, unscheduled), using video, phone, and written communication to empower a human coachee in their self-development.
What is Coach2GO?
Coach2GO is a psychology-based online platform designed to walk you towards your vision of WorkLifeJoy. With both real-time and on-demand digital coaching options, Coach2GO programs provide a safe, structured, convenient way to experience expert-backed assessment and coaching, to set goals and take immediate action.

Created by yours truly, Dr. Melanie, a business psychology Ph.D and certified mental health coach, Coach2GO programs provide personalized insights and actionable coaching tips to help you gain clarity on your definition of happiness and fulfillment, in both your personal and professional life.
Sometimes, the only think you may know is that "I don't know my goals, I just want to feel happier/less stressed/[insert your challenge here]". Your program will help walk you through the steps to figure out your goals, and how to get there.
With a simplified yet structured approach, Coach2GO online programs deliver action-focused coaching tips from day one, allowing you to immediately start implementing positive changes without sacrificing valuable time, money, or momentum.
Whether seeking to improve work-life balance, improve relationships, reduce stress and overwhelm, or enhance overall well-being, Coach2GO programs empower individuals to take control of their well-being and finally achieve their goals in a way that lasts.

How do Coach2GO programs work?
Coach2GO offers both REAL-TIME and ON-DEMAND coaching programs. Coach2GO programs are packed with the same types of guidance and resources that I have shared over thousands of coaching hours, working with clients everyday.
Real-time Coaching
With 1-on-1 coaching in real time, we work together during scheduled sessions to determine what small, achievable steps will help you work towards your goal and eventually graduate! Graduation is our ultimate objective in coaching as it can indicate skills learned and sustained consistency over time. And depending on your budget and meeting preference, 1-on-1 coaching sessions are available by video, phone, or chat-based.
If you are interested in working together 1-on-1, you can find out more about my 1-on-1 coaching plans by clicking the link. 💁🏾♀️ I'd love to work together!

On-demand Digital Coaching
Coach2GO on-demand digital programs are structured to walk you through your personal development journey, in a way similar to how I would if working together 1-on-1 as your live coach. Coaching focuses on taking action in your life to achieve a goal or make a personal change so once you choose a goal or area to focus on, you can create a plan, and take the steps to get there.

Why Coach2GO?
🚨 Expert Guidance from Dr. Melanie
Right now, the coaching industry is still not regulated...so not all coaches and programs are created equal. With Coach2GO, my focus is on well-being first. You can be sure that you are being supported by a coach with a formal education in psychology (B.A, PhD), formal mental health coach training, and thousands of coaching hours, all centered around helping people to be better, by thinking and feeling better.
Plus, as a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), and certified through a health and wellness coaching program approved by the National Board of Medical Examiners, I work to follow the highest ethical standards and practices.

With Coach2GO programs, your AH-HA moment can happen today! Let me say that again...
Your “AH-HA “ moment can happen TODAY!💡
Sometimes when we are looking for some type of change in our lives, we first need to take time and REFLECT. And reflection takes courage!
When you understand more about yourself, it enables you to choose jobs, careers and challenges that make sense for you. When the Titanic sank, it didn't sink because it hit the part of the iceberg that they could see. It sank because it hit that massive portion underneath the waterline that they couldn't see.
You just don't know, what you don't know.
In Your Life
When you get to a place where you feel like you are doing the right things in your life but you aren’t getting where you really want to be, it is often because you can’t see what is really standing in your way, and you aren’t clear about what your goals really are. So, by first increasing self-awareness around your healthy and unhealthy behavioral tendencies, areas in need of growth, temptations, instincts, and underlying emotions, you receive an incredible opportunity to develop yourself and improve your interactions with others. Plus…
In Your Career
When changing careers or even excelling in the one you have, self-awareness around things like communication, work styles, strengths, and opportunities for growth can also give you an incredible opportunity to develop yourself.
Develop yourself. Improve interactions with others. Move towards your vision.
