Why Creators Choose PostPlanify
Everything you need to manage social media as a therapists
Psychoeducation Content Scheduling
Plan and schedule educational posts that help your audience understand anxiety, depression, attachment styles, nervous system regulation and other mental health topics. Consistent psychoeducation content positions you as a trusted expert and attracts clients who resonate with your approach.
HIPAA-Conscious Workflows
PostPlanify does not store or process protected health information. The platform is designed for marketing content only — scheduling educational posts, not managing client data. Combined with approval workflows, you maintain clear boundaries between your clinical work and your public-facing content.
Approval Workflows for Clinical Accuracy
Have a virtual assistant or marketing coordinator draft your social media content, then review and approve every post before it goes live. Approval workflows ensure your psychoeducation content is clinically accurate, ethically sound and aligned with your therapeutic philosophy.
AI Captions with a Therapeutic Tone
Generate warm, validating captions that reflect the empathetic tone your audience expects from a therapist. AI adapts your messaging for each platform — compassionate for Instagram, professional for LinkedIn, concise for X — while maintaining the language of therapy without clinical jargon.
Self-Care Content Series Planning
Build recurring content series around self-care practices, grounding techniques, journaling prompts and seasonal mental health themes. Use the visual calendar to plan multi-week series that keep your audience engaged and coming back for consistent support.
Referral-Building Visibility on LinkedIn
LinkedIn is where therapists build referral networks with physicians, school counselors, HR professionals and other clinicians. Schedule professional content to LinkedIn alongside your client-facing content on Instagram and TikTok to grow referral pipelines.
Cross-Platform Posting to 9 Platforms
Schedule your mental health content to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Threads and Bluesky from one dashboard. Reach potential clients wherever they consume mental health content without managing nine separate apps.
Boundary-Respecting Scheduling
Batch-schedule an entire month of content in one focused session, then step away completely. Your posts go live on autopilot while you protect your evenings, weekends and therapy hours from the pull of social media marketing.
Analytics to Understand What Resonates
Track which mental health topics, content formats and posting times drive the most engagement and profile visits. Use data to refine your content strategy and focus on the psychoeducation themes that attract your ideal clients.

Weekly Content Ideas for Therapists
A ready-made content calendar you can schedule with PostPlanify in minutes
Mental Health Tip or Psychoeducation
Start the week with a practical mental health tip — a grounding technique, a reframe for anxious thinking, a boundary-setting script or an emotion regulation strategy. Actionable psychoeducation builds trust and shows your clinical expertise.
Coping Strategy or Skill Walkthrough
Walk your audience through a specific coping skill — box breathing, cognitive restructuring, body scan meditation or a DBT technique. Step-by-step content saves well and gets shared widely among people who need practical tools.
Mental Health Myth-Busting
Debunk a common misconception about therapy, mental illness or emotional health. Myth-busting content normalizes seeking help, reduces stigma and positions you as someone who speaks honestly about mental health realities.
Self-Care Prompt or Journaling Exercise
Share a self-care prompt, journaling question or reflective exercise your audience can try on their own. Interactive content like this drives saves and shares because people return to it repeatedly.
Boundary Education or Relationship Insight
Teach your audience about healthy boundaries, communication patterns, attachment styles or relationship dynamics. Boundary and relationship content consistently performs well because it speaks to universal human experiences.
Therapist Q&A or "What Therapy Is Really Like"
Answer common questions about therapy — what to expect in a first session, how to know if therapy is working, how to find the right therapist. Demystifying therapy reduces barriers to seeking help and attracts potential clients.
Gentle Weekend Check-In or Affirmation
Post a gentle check-in, a permission slip or a validating affirmation for the weekend. Sunday content with a nurturing tone builds emotional connection with your audience and keeps your practice top of mind.
Mental Health Awareness Month Content
Every month has relevant mental health themes — Mental Health Awareness in May, Suicide Prevention in September, PTSD Awareness in June. Schedule themed educational series that align with national awareness campaigns to maximize reach and relevance.
Practice Update or New Offerings Announcement
Share monthly updates — new group therapy offerings, workshop announcements, availability openings or a curated list of mental health resources. Monthly anchor content keeps your audience informed and encourages bookings.

Best Social Media Platforms for Therapists
Not every platform matters equally. Here is where therapists professionals should focus — and PostPlanify supports all of them.
Recommended Platforms
TikTok
RecommendedTherapy content thrives on TikTok — therapists regularly reach millions with accessible mental health education. Short-form video lets you explain attachment styles, normalize therapy and share coping strategies in formats that resonate with younger audiences actively seeking help.
The platform for building referral networks with physicians, school counselors, EAP coordinators and HR professionals. Share professional insights, workplace mental health content and practice updates to attract referral partnerships that fill your caseload.
Reaches a broad demographic including parents, older adults and community members seeking local therapists. Facebook Groups for mental health support and practice pages for local discovery make it a valuable channel for community-based practices.
YouTube
RecommendedPeople actively search YouTube for therapy-related topics — how to manage anxiety, what EMDR is, how to cope with grief. Long-form educational videos build deep authority, while Shorts extend your reach with quick mental health tips.
Worth Exploring
Self-care tips, journaling prompts, coping strategy infographics and mental health awareness content perform well on Pinterest. Pins drive long-tail traffic to your practice website and attract people actively searching for mental health resources.
X (Twitter)
OptionalUseful for sharing quick mental health insights, engaging in public mental health conversations and building a professional presence. Many therapists use X threads to explain complex psychological concepts in accessible formats.
Threads
OptionalA conversational platform for sharing therapy insights, mental health reflections and engaging with your community in a casual, text-first format. Easy to cross-post from Instagram with minimal extra effort.
Bluesky
OptionalAn emerging platform attracting professionals and mental health advocates. Therapists who establish early presence connect with a thoughtful, engaged audience interested in psychology and personal growth.
Clients Need to Find You Online… But You Spend All Day Holding Space
You see clients back-to-back, hold space for heavy emotions and process countertransference — and then you are supposed to write Instagram captions and film TikToks? Social media would grow your practice, but the emotional labor of therapy leaves no energy for marketing. PostPlanify lets you batch-schedule a full month of psychoeducation content, coping strategies and practice updates in one session, so your practice stays visible while you focus on your clients and protect your own wellbeing.
Batch-schedule content and step away completely
Dedicate one session per month to scheduling all your mental health content. Your posts go live on autopilot while you protect your clinical hours, evenings and weekends from the demands of social media marketing.
AI captions with a warm, therapeutic tone
Generate empathetic, validating captions that reflect your therapeutic voice. AI adapts your messaging for each platform while maintaining the compassionate tone your audience expects — no clinical jargon, no cold marketing speak.
Fill your caseload with the right clients
Consistent psychoeducation content attracts clients who already understand and resonate with your approach. By the time they reach out, they feel connected to your philosophy — leading to better therapeutic fit and fewer intake mismatches.

How Therapists Professionals Use PostPlanify
Real scenarios showing how PostPlanify fits into your workflow
Private Practice Therapist
A licensed therapist in solo private practice specializing in anxiety and trauma, using Instagram and TikTok to attract clients and reduce reliance on directory listings for referrals.
After seeing 25 clients a week, the therapist has no emotional or creative energy left for social media. Posts happen sporadically — a mental health tip after a burst of motivation, then three weeks of silence. The practice depends entirely on Psychology Today listings and word-of-mouth, leaving the caseload vulnerable to slow periods.
Use PostPlanify to batch-schedule a full month of content every first Sunday. Schedule psychoeducation carousels about anxiety on Instagram, quick coping strategy Reels on TikTok and professional insights on LinkedIn. AI captions generate warm, therapeutic copy instantly, and the visual calendar ensures a balanced mix of educational, myth-busting and practice update content.
Social media time drops from sporadic stressful attempts to one focused 2-hour session per month. Consistent posting builds a growing audience of people who resonate with the therapist's approach. Intake inquiries increase and — more importantly — new clients arrive already understanding the therapist's style, leading to better therapeutic fit from session one.
Group Practice Owner
A group practice owner managing 6 clinicians across two locations, needing consistent social media that represents the whole practice while highlighting individual therapist specialties.
The practice owner wants social media to attract clients for all 6 clinicians, but has no dedicated marketing person. Individual therapists occasionally post on their personal accounts with inconsistent quality and messaging. The practice brand has no unified social media presence, and some clinicians with open caseloads remain invisible to potential clients.
Set up PostPlanify with the practice brand workspace. The practice owner or an administrative assistant batch-schedules content featuring rotating therapist spotlights, specialty-specific psychoeducation and general mental health tips. Each clinician reviews posts about their specialty through the approval workflow before publication. Cross-platform scheduling ensures content reaches Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn simultaneously.
The group practice maintains a professional, consistent social media presence without any individual therapist spending time on marketing. Therapist spotlight posts direct potential clients to clinicians with availability. The approval workflow ensures every post is clinically appropriate, and the practice brand grows as a trusted mental health resource in the community.
Online Telehealth Therapist
A licensed therapist running a fully virtual practice, serving clients across multiple states and relying entirely on digital marketing to build and maintain a caseload without geographic limitations.
Without a physical office or local community presence, the telehealth therapist depends entirely on online visibility to attract clients. But competing with thousands of other online therapists requires consistent, high-quality content across multiple platforms — an overwhelming task on top of a full clinical caseload and the isolation of remote practice.
Use PostPlanify to maintain a consistent presence across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn. Schedule psychoeducation content about the telehealth therapy experience, coping strategies that work well in virtual settings and myth-busting about online therapy effectiveness. AI captions adapt content for each platform, and Canva-designed graphics are imported directly for a polished, professional look.
The telehealth therapist builds a recognizable online brand that stands out in a crowded virtual therapy market. Consistent content across four platforms drives steady intake inquiries from multiple states. Potential clients find the therapist through TikTok Reels and Instagram carousels, arrive at the website already trusting the therapist's expertise and book virtual consultations with confidence.

Why Therapists Need a Social Media Scheduler
Therapy is emotionally demanding work. After holding space for clients all day, the last thing you want to do is brainstorm Instagram captions or film TikToks. But 76% of potential clients review therapist social media before reaching out — your online presence directly impacts your caseload. A social media scheduler for therapists lets you batch-plan and schedule a full month of content in one focused session, so your practice stays visible on autopilot while you protect your energy for the work that matters most.
Psychoeducation Content That Attracts the Right Clients
The most effective therapy marketing is not marketing at all — it is education. When you share psychoeducation content about anxiety, attachment, boundaries or coping strategies, potential clients self-select based on whether your approach resonates. PostPlanify makes it easy to schedule consistent psychoeducation content that builds trust, reduces mental health stigma and attracts clients who are already aligned with your therapeutic philosophy.
Privacy-Conscious Marketing for Mental Health Professionals
Therapists have unique ethical obligations around privacy and boundaries. PostPlanify is designed for marketing content only — it does not store or process protected health information. Combined with approval workflows that let you review every post before publication, you maintain clear boundaries between your clinical practice and your public-facing educational content.
Protect Your Energy with Batch Scheduling
Compassion fatigue is real, and adding daily social media management to a full clinical caseload accelerates burnout. PostPlanify's batch scheduling approach lets you create and schedule an entire month of content in a single session. Your posts go live automatically while you focus on clients during the week and fully disconnect on evenings and weekends — modeling the boundaries you teach.
