Breakup Coach

Breakup coaching is unregulated and priced per session. What a coach genuinely helps with, what they cannot, and the one promise that tells you to walk away.

Why Choose Lovon?

1

What a breakup coach is, and what nobody checks

No state licenses breakup coaches. There is no protected title, no board, no supervised hours, no complaint process that can stop someone from practicing tomorrow. A therapist who behaves badly can lose a license; a coach who behaves badly can lose a website. Coaching is not health care, so no insurer reimburses it and no employee benefit covers it, which means the price is whatever the coach decides. Certifications exist, issued by private training companies rather than any regulator. They tell you someone took a course and signed a code of ethics. They do not tell you anyone is watching.

What the sessions actually involve

A first call usually runs 45 to 60 minutes by video or phone, and the useful version is unglamorous. You lay out what happened and in what order. The coach asks what you have already tried, who else knows, and what is still unsettled about the lease, the shared car, the dog, the group chat. You leave with something small and specific for the next seven days: a rule about contact, a plan for the hours between nine and midnight when it gets loud, a script for the one conversation you cannot avoid. Later sessions are review — what you did, what happened, what to change. The value is structure, and the fact that you told a person out loud you would do it. If you want the contact question settled before you book anyone, a no-contact plan covers the same ground.

The tell that separates the two halves of this field

Ask what is being promised. Practical work sounds like: you will have a plan for contact, and you will get through the first month without sending the message you regret. A system sounds like a sequence, a window, specific texts on day twenty-one. The second sells better because it aims straight at the thing you want, and it fails on a fact no coach can move — the outcome depends on a decision another person makes and may not have made yet. Being charged for control someone does not have is this field's main problem. Ask also what happens if you decide halfway through that you no longer want your ex back. A coach whose method breaks at that question is selling a method, not running a practice.

Cost, and where a tool like this fits

Packages commonly run into hundreds and often four figures, paid before you know whether this person is useful to you. Licensed therapy, for comparison, commonly runs somewhere in the low hundreds per session in the US without insurance, and waitlists are common. The hardest hours are the ones nobody is on a call for. Lovon is a voice app built with PhD psychologists, drawing on CBT and EFT, two established approaches. It is not therapy, it does not treat anything, and it is not a coach. It is somewhere to say the thing out loud at 2am, and to work the same practical questions between sessions or while you decide whether to book at all. If you are afraid of an ex, or contact continues after you asked it to stop, that is not coaching territory: the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, you can text START to 88788, and thehotline.org has chat. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988. For the longer arc after the first months, see getting over someone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a breakup coach cost?

There is no standard rate, because there is no insurance and no fee schedule to anchor one. Coaches set their own prices, and most sell packages rather than single hours: a block of four to twelve sessions paid in advance. That structure favors the coach, since you commit before you know whether this person is useful to you. Ask to buy one session first, and treat a refusal to sell one as information. Licensed therapy in the US commonly runs somewhere in the low hundreds per session without insurance, which is the number most people are comparing against, and waitlists there are common.

What is the difference between a breakup coach and a therapist?

A therapist holds a license, answers to a regulator, is trained to work with mental health conditions, and can sometimes be billed to insurance. A coach has none of that and is not meant to: coaching is not health care, and a coach who starts treating depression is outside their scope. In practice the difference shows up in what each is good at. Coaching is forward-facing and practical — this week, this decision, this rule about contact. Therapy can go into why a pattern keeps repeating and what happened long before this relationship. People who can afford both sometimes use both.

Can a breakup coach help me get my ex back?

Some sell exactly that, and it is the part of the field to be careful with. Nobody can deliver a result that depends on a decision another person has not made, and a coach who prices as though they can is charging you for control they do not have. What a coach can honestly do is help you stop sending messages you regret, work out what you would be agreeing to if your ex did come back, and slow the decision down enough that you are choosing rather than reacting. A pitch built on texts to send on specific days is selling certainty that does not exist.

Do breakup coaches need a license or certification?

No license, in any US state. Anyone can use the title tomorrow morning. Certifications exist, issued by private training companies rather than a government board, and they show that a person completed a course and signed a code of ethics that the issuing company, at most, can withdraw. That is not nothing, but it is not oversight, and it leaves you no complaint process with real consequences. What you can check yourself: how long they have practiced, whether they will describe their approach in plain language without a proprietary name, and whether they refer people out when something falls outside coaching.

How do I know if a breakup coach is any good?

Judge the first session rather than the sales page. A useful one ends with something specific enough to do this week, and with a plain statement of what the coach thinks the actual problem is. Three things are worth watching: whether they ask about safety, money, and living arrangements before they ask about feelings; whether they say what falls outside their scope and who they would send you to instead; and whether they are comfortable with you deciding, halfway through, that you no longer want the outcome you originally booked them for.
