Online dating help for singles in the San Francisco Bay Area. Also available in California and worldwide.
Helping shy singles find love online
Online dating has opened a whole new world of possibilities to meet your person. But knowing how to navigate that world can create stress and anxiety. That’s especially true if you’re shy, introverted, or reeling from past relationship traumas.
If you’re considering getting online dating help, chances are you find yourself stuck repeating the same painful patterns in dating.
Maybe you want to try online dating, but feel totally lost about which app to use, what to say in your profile, and how to get from a swipe to a first date. So you just avoid it entirely.
Or perhaps you’ve found yourself on the Online Dating Rollercoaster. Does this sound familiar?
You resolve to put yourself out there so you can find your person. You maybe even get a teensy bit excited.
You download the apps, set up profiles, swipe (slightly obsessively), aaaand…..wompwomp – you’re seriously underwhelmed by the matches and messages you receive.
Next, you go on several really-not-great dates. You commiserate with friends, trading your terrible date stories. It’s mildly amusing – but if you’re being honest, it’s mostly just sad.
Finally, someone you were messaging for weeks suddenly and inexplicably unmatches with you after you suggest meeting for a date. Or worse still, someone you’ve been dating for months ghosts.
Your tentative hope about online dating turns to pure disappointment. You delete all the apps out of (completely understandable) frustration. You write off online dating altogether.
Days/weeks/months/years later, loneliness descends as you attend yet another slew of weddings and baby showers. You download the apps and the rollercoaster begins again.
Ready to stop dreading online dating?
Whether you’ve been too overwhelmed to try online dating or you’re burnt out from trying to connect with people through the apps, please know you’re not alone. Dating struggles impact most single people at some point.
Needing help is human. It doesn’t make you a failure; quite the opposite, in fact! It takes immense courage to acknowledge our difficulties and ask for help.
And here’s the good news: you don’t have to feel insecure, frustrated, or overwhelmed while searching for your person online.
Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you have to go it alone.
With an online dating consultant, you can finally find your person
Online dating help can support you to rise above your dating challenges and build the life you’re longing for, one with less loneliness and more intimacy.

How Internet dating help works
Online dating help consists of 50-minute, one-on-one coaching or therapy sessions that help you develop an online dating strategy that works.
You’ll access our secure video office through your computer, cell phone, or mobile device, which means you’ll enjoy the benefits of working with a dating expert from the comfort of your home.
In addition to deeply listening, your online dating expert will share effective, concrete approaches to finding satisfying relationships online. They’ll offer a roadmap based on cutting-edge research and their experience helping countless online daters.
In addition to providing evidence-based, specialized feedback, your coach or therapist will guide you step by step as you improve your online dating presence and strategy. We believe that insight + action = change, so we’re dedicated to finding creative ways for you to implement everything you’re learning.
Here’s how online dating coaching or therapy will work, step-by-step:
First, your dating coach or therapist will create a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your online dating struggles with them.
As you share, your counselor will listen intently and ask questions to ensure they have a balanced and nuanced picture of your online dating challenges. They’ll round out their assessment of what’s holding you back in dating by reviewing your profiles, pictures, messages, and swiping patterns.
Next, they will offer you honest-yet-compassionate feedback about your online dating strengths and blindspots.
Together you’ll set clear goals and develop a roadmap to help you use online dating effectively. Every step of the way, your counselor will help you identify clear, concrete steps to take during and between sessions.
Next, your coach or therapist will start by helping you clarify what you are looking for in a partner and relationship, which is the foundation of any effective online dating strategy.
They will then help you choose apps, write a profile, adjust your app settings, and select photos with your future mate in mind. They’ll help you find the words and images that showcase your gifts and values in a way that’s likely to resonate with your ideal mate.
Once your new or improved online dating profiles are live, your coach or therapist will be by your side to help navigate swiping, matches, messaging, and more. They’ll offer thoughtful feedback and support when you encounter uncertainty or difficult situations.
As you start going on dates, your counselor will help you identify locations for dates and untangle all the confusing advice out there about how to communicate with love interests between dates.
You’ll learn research-based relationship-building approaches to ensure you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of building a satisfying long-term relationship.
Should you experience issues with self-confidence, anxious or avoidant attachment, or trusting a new partner, your counselor will be there to help you work through your fears. Because they are a therapist in addition to being a dating coach, they have the skills and expertise needed to help you heal the wounds underlying your dating struggles.
As you get out on more and more dates, your coach or therapist will help you develop the skills and confidence needed to build happier, deeper relationships. They’ll cheerlead you every step of the way as you take the courageous step of reaching out for more connections.
Throughout the process, your online dating expert will guide you through creative, action-oriented practices designed to help you integrate what you’re learning. They will stay creative as they craft sessions to meet your individual and evolving needs.
Over the course of your sessions, you will start making progress toward the healthy love you desire.
What our clients are saying about the internet dating help we offer in the Bay Area, California and worldwide.
“I was initially skeptical because I tried other dating coaching companies that claimed to help me get more matches online, but they could not. I had almost given up...I saw the website for the Bay Area Dating Coach. My coach gave me strategies for building my profile and reviewed it when I changed the bio and photos. These changes resulted in me meeting the woman of my dreams.” ~William
