Divorce Coaching Services
Personalized Support Through Every Stage of Your Divorce
Divorce asks you to make some of the most important decisions of your life during one of the most emotionally difficult times you'll ever face. You're expected to think clearly about finances, parenting, housing, and your future, all while processing grief, fear, anger, and uncertainty.
You don't have to do this alone. And you shouldn't have to.
At Intentional Divorce Solutions, our divorce coaching services give you a trained professional in your corner, someone who helps you cut through the overwhelm, make thoughtful decisions, and move through your divorce with clarity and confidence rather than chaos and reactivity.
How Our Divorce Coaching Works
Our coaching process is built around one core principle: you deserve to move through divorce with intention, not just survival. Every session is tailored to where you are in the process and what you need most right now.
Your Complimentary Consultation
Everything starts with a free consultation call. This is a no-pressure conversation where you share what you're going through and we help you understand how coaching fits into your situation. We'll talk about your concerns, your goals, and whether coaching is the right next step for you.
Think of this as the first moment where someone is truly focused on *you*, not just the legal paperwork, not just the settlement numbers, but the whole picture of what you're navigating.

Your sessions are private, confidential, and completely focused on your needs. Whether you're in the early stages of contemplating divorce, in the middle of negotiations, or adjusting to life after your divorce is final, your coach meets you exactly where you are.
In a typical session, you might:
- Work through a difficult decision you're facing, weighing the short-term and long-term implications
- Develop a communication strategy for a conversation with your ex-spouse
- Process the emotions that are making it hard to think clearly, and learn techniques to regulate in the moment
- Prepare for an upcoming mediation session or meeting with your attorney
- Create goals for your post-divorce life and map out the steps to get there
- Develop a co-parenting approach that protects your children and your own well-being
- Every session ends with clear, actionable next steps. Not just a general sense of feeling better, but concrete things you can do before your next session to keep moving forward.
Liesel Darby is an incredible divorce coach—I'd give her 10 stars if I could! Her support and guidance have helped me feel more confident and in control during a very difficult time.

Meet Your Divorce Coach: Liesel Darby
Liesel Darby brings a rare combination of professional training and lived experience to her coaching practice. She is certified as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Divorce Coach (ADRDC) through the Divorce Coaches Academy, a rigorous certification that emphasizes conflict management, structured coaching processes, and helping clients move forward with minimal conflict.
But her background goes deeper than that single credential. Liesel holds a certification in life coaching from Coach Training Alliance, mediation training from the Ohio Supreme Court, and a professional background in therapy, including mental health counseling for families and substance abuse recovery. She earned her BS in Educational Studies from Kent State University and her M.Ed., giving her a strong foundation in how people learn, grow, and change.
And perhaps most importantly, Liesel has been through divorce herself. She knows what it feels like to sit on the other side of that table. Her own experience navigating divorce through mediation gives her a depth of empathy and understanding that no certification alone can provide.
Liesel's coaching style is warm, practical, and direct. She creates a safe space for you to be honest about what you're feeling while keeping you focused on what you need to do. She's not going to let you stay stuck, but she's also not going to push you faster than you're ready to move.

Start Your Coaching Journey
You don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out. You don't need to know what kind of divorce you want, what your goals are, or what your next step should be. That's what coaching is for.
The only thing you need is the willingness to approach your divorce with intention, to decide that you're going to move through this with clarity rather than chaos, with strategy rather than reactivity, and with support rather than isolation.
Let's have a conversation about what you're going through and how we can help. No pressure, no commitment, just the first step toward a more intentional divorce.
