Online tutoring has become such a lifeline for therapists trying to navigate the pressure of licensure exams, especially when traditional studying just isn’t enough. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Dr. Pam Turner about her journey from clinician and professor to running a thriving online tutoring company that helps therapists pass exams like the LCSW, LMFT, NCE, CPCE, and more.

She shares how she built a program that meets therapists exactly where they are, especially those who have taken their exam multiple times or struggle with test anxiety and standardized testing. We also talk about how she blends travel, online work, and a deep passion for helping clinicians succeed in their careers. It is such an inspiring conversation, and I know so many listeners will relate to her story.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• Dr. Pam’s transition from teaching college to traveling the world while running her online tutoring business.
• How her company tutors therapists preparing for U.S. licensure exams through Academic Coaching for World Changers.
• The study strategies, test-taking skills, and accommodations she recommends for clinicians who struggle with standardized exams.
• Her inspiring story of reinventing herself after major life changes.
