Virtual mentoring gives you the same one-on-one support as in-person mentoring, delivered by video. You work with a dedicated Blackburn mentor, set goals together and stay in touch between sessions, wherever you live and whatever your schedule looks like.

How virtual mentoring works
- Short assessment. You tell us about yourself and what you want to work on.
- Free intro call. We review it and set up a short video call to talk through your goals.
- Matching. We pair you with a mentor whose experience fits your goals.
- A personal plan. Together you set short-term and long-term benchmarks across work, school, money, health and relationships.
- Video sessions. You meet with your mentor by video for 30 to 60 minutes on a weekly or monthly plan, on a schedule that fits your life.
- Contact in between. Text and phone check-ins between sessions keep you accountable and connected.
Who virtual mentoring is for
- People who live outside Los Angeles
- Professionals and students whose schedules make in-person meetings hard
- Young adults away at school or living on their own for the first time
- People who move and want to keep the same mentor
- Clients who want to start virtually and meet in person later, or the other way around
- Families looking for support for a loved one in another city
What you can work on
- Career and Education: Resumes, job searches, interviews, going back to school and building a career.
- Money and Life Skills: Budgets, banking, bills, credit and the everyday tasks of running a life.
- Health and Fitness: Exercise, nutrition, sleep and a daily routine that supports your goals.
- Relationships and Family: Communication, trust, boundaries and healthier relationships.
- Accountability and Recovery: Accountability, motivation and structure, including support for people in recovery.
Virtual sessions can be practical and hands-on: reviewing a resume on screen together, building a budget, planning the week, practicing for an interview or talking through a hard conversation before it happens.
What you need
- A phone, tablet or computer with a camera
- A reliable internet connection
- A private, quiet space for sessions
Online life coaching, with a mentor
If you have been searching for an online life coach, virtual mentoring gives you the same core benefits, practical guidance and accountability toward your goals, with more support between sessions than a typical coaching call. Your mentor meets with you by video on a set schedule, keeps in touch by text and phone in between and adjusts the plan with you as life changes.
- A dedicated mentor, not a rotating roster
- A written plan with weekly steps and benchmarks
- Video sessions from home, work or the road
- Check-ins between sessions around the moments that matter
- In-person sessions available in Los Angeles if you ever want them

Questions about virtual mentoring
What is virtual mentoring?
Virtual mentoring is one-on-one mentoring delivered by video, with the same goal setting, check-ins and accountability as in-person mentoring.
Is virtual mentoring as effective as in person?
For many clients, yes. What matters most is consistency: regular sessions, contact in between and a mentor who knows your goals. Virtual mentoring keeps all of that in place when meeting in person is not practical.
Do I need to live in Los Angeles?
No. Virtual mentoring is available to clients outside Los Angeles. Clients in Los Angeles can also choose virtual sessions or combine virtual and in-person meetings.
How do video sessions work?
Sessions take place over a secure video call that you join from a link. We will help you get set up before your first session.
Can my family be involved?
Yes. With your permission, mentors can share progress updates with family, and family members can join a session when it would help.
