The professionalization of online coaching relies on the virtuosic and creative use of specific tools. With them, it is possible to implement the variety of methods of face-to-face coaching appropriately and effectively online. The future of coaching, counselling, supervision and psychotherapy also lies in online applications. In order to offer corresponding services in a professional and ethical manner, certain skills are essential for professionals. Elke Berninger-Schäfer explains what these are in detail and illustrates them with practical examples and numerous illustrations. The online medium has the opportunity to successfully advance clients on their development path by means of pattern disruption, idea generation, projection, expansion of interpretation categories, attention control, trance induction and the change of emotional-physiological states. Based on the reflection of her own professional profile, the author describes the diverse tools of online coaching. Through them, the magic of the interaction between coach, coachee and online medium unfolds, so that resourceful states and successful trial action become possible.
