Dr. Diane Gehart
I recorded my first online lecture in 2010 out of desperation. I had a busy conference schedule one semester, and students enrolled in my courses would miss too much if I didn't find a creative way to offer my lectures.
Those online lectures were a hit! Students loved the flexibility of listening to lectures on their schedule and the freedom to replay the lecture as often as needed to maximize their learning. Each person reported using the recorded lectures in ways that complimented their unique learning style and life schedule, and the improvements in student learning were measurable! After that, I created a YouTube channel where my online training videos have been viewed millions of times.
Up until 2020, I had imagined that online learning would be appropriate for learning factual content. However, when I was required to teach all of my courses successfully online during the pandemic, I discovered that I was wrong. Students often learned better online than in the classroom. Similarly, when I put my practice online, clients still felt connected to me, and we now had new resources to facilitate their growth and learning. Like the rest of the world, the pandemic taught us how effective online learning and therapy can be.
In January 2021, I created the Therapy that Works Institute and have taught thousands of people through my online courses around the world. This has been the most rewarding professional experience of my career, which has included doing psychotherapy for 30 years, serving as a university faculty member for 25 years (currently at California State University, Northridge), authoring over 14 professional books (including Mastering Competences in Family Therapy, Theory and Treatment Planning in Counseling and Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness and Acceptance in Couple and Family Therapy), and presenting hundreds of presentations around the world.
I cannot wait to teach you how fun and rewarding online courses can be!
Introducing...
Beyond the Hour®:
Entrepreneurial Essentials for
the Modern Mental Health Professional
Take Your Career to the Next Level...
Have you been wondering if there was a better way to do what you love?
In this course, you will learn how to:
- Share your knowledge and expertise more efficiently, enabling you to help more people in a shorter amount of time.
- Design, record, create, and market online content and/or that benefits both your one-on-one clients as well as the general public, creating unprecedented opportunities in the field.
- Use online content and/or courses to offer an entirely new approach to addressing mental health issues that save your clients money while simultaneously increasing your bottom line.
- Reorganize your time and energy in such a way that enables you to help more people more meaningfully in fewer hours per week.
- Redefine your dream career as one that reaches around the globe, allowing you to work when, where, and how works best for YOU!
Is This the Right Course for Me?
This highly practical course teaches real-world skills that are increasingly necessary across the career spectrum and beyond:
- Private Practice: Whether just starting or established, private practitioners will discover multiple ways to significantly increase their income, market their practice, establish themselves as experts, and reduce the overhead costs of running their business.
- Authors, Academics, and Specialists: If you have developed advanced knowledge and skills, it is critical to learn how to share them with a wider audience. Whether your goal is to write an academic article, promote a general-audience book, become a paid speaker, or create an online course, Beyond the Hour will teach you the essential skills required in today's marketplace.
- Mental Health Agencies and Residential Setting: Mental health organizations will learn how to create more efficient and cost-effective methods for providing services in ways that set themselves apart from the competition.
- Graduate Students and New Professionals: Digital interventions are likely to become a dominant form of intervention in the near future, so being prepared for this new landscape is essential--and you won't learn any of this in grad school. Furthermore, you are more likely to excel at creating these interventions, especially when compared to...how do I say this nicely...your colleagues who were born in the last century!
- Coaches, Medical, and Other Professionals who Provide Valuable Knowledge: Although this course will focus on creating digital interventions in mental health, the fundamental principles and technology apply broadly to anyone who regularly provides professional, expert knowledge to their clients, patients, or customers. Professionals outside the field of mental health are welcome to join!

Dana's Success Story...
I had an idea for an online course but had no idea where to begin. Just the thought of it was overwhelming.
I had been following Dr. Gehart’s lectures on YouTube as I had used one of her textbooks in school. When I saw she was offering a class on creating an online course, I felt that was my sign from the universe.
Dr. Gehart not only guided us through every step, she demystified the entire process by having us start to create our own course AS we were taking hers.
I went from overwhelmed to empowered in a matter of days.
I would not have had the courage to launch this course had it not been for taking Beyond the Hou®.
