Real captions from the kit

Sample Instagram captions for therapists

Three posts from the second week of January, taken from the calendar and shortened where they run long. Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders you fill in once.

Tuesday · Therapy Talk Tuesday

Therapy term: self-compassion

Therapy term of the week: self-compassion.

In plain words, self-compassion means treating yourself the way you'd treat a good friend who is struggling. Noticing that something is hard, reminding yourself that you're not the only person who has felt this way, and offering a little kindness instead of criticism.

It isn't letting yourself off the hook or giving up on goals. Many people find it actually helps them keep going.

A simple way to try it: ask "what would I say to someone I love right now?"

Save this and share it with someone who's hard on themselves.

Wednesday · Work With Me Wednesday

Let's see if we're a fit

Choosing a therapist is a bit like choosing a hiking partner. You want someone you feel comfortable walking alongside.

That's why I offer a free [CONSULTATION LENGTH] consultation. It's a relaxed chance to ask questions, hear how I work, and get a sense of whether we'd be a good match.

There's no pressure to book anything afterward. If I'm not the right fit, I'm happy to point you toward other options.

I see people in [CITY] and online across [STATE].

Book your free consultation at [BOOKING LINK].

About my cancellation policy

Let's talk about something that isn't glamorous but matters: my cancellation policy.

I ask for at least [CANCELLATION WINDOW] notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. When a session is cancelled late, that time is usually hard to offer to someone else who is waiting. Late cancellations may be charged [FEE].

Life happens, of course. Illness, emergencies and surprises are part of being human, and we can always talk it through together.

Clear policies help keep your time protected and our work steady.

Save this and reach out at [PHONE] if you need to reschedule.

Written with care

Captions you can post without wincing

This is marketing content, not legal advice. Please check posts against the rules where you work.

  • Educational content only, never diagnosis or treatment advice.
  • No outcome promises and no client stories or testimonials.
  • Fees, credentials and licensure only as placeholders.
  • A crisis-resources reminder where it matters.
  • No invented statistics.
