Ever felt like your Reels are falling flat?

It might not be your content ideas - it might be your visuals. 

B-roll is suuuper simple, and it’s an effective way to speak to your ideal client. It’s literally everywhere on Instagram these days!

The text that goes on top is important, but that’s not the only part that matters.

Your visuals are really going to impact how well your Reel does!

The good news? 

You don't need fancy equipment, complicated editing, or tons of extra work. Small changes can make a huge difference!

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to film better B-roll for your reels as a therapist on Instagram.

You want your content to be engaging, professional, and stop the scroll.

Key pieces like your lighting, camera settings, movement, visual hooks, and more can really upgrade your video!

While the text on your Reel matters, Instagram is still a visual-first platform. Your video plays a MAJOR role in whether someone keeps watching or not!

One of my favorite parts of creating content with B-roll? Using it strategically to showcase YOUR personality, niche, and unique approach as a therapist. 

Your content should help potential clients feel like they know you before they ever book a call! 

This is something I teach inside the Reels Membership. You’re able to create simple content that builds REAL connection over time. Such a win-win!!

No, you do not need a production team or hours of editing. You NEED to be intentional.

I promise - a few small tweaks to your visuals can dramatically improve your results + help more of your ideal clients connect with you!

  • What makes effective B-roll on Instagram

  • Helpful guidelines for better B-roll
