aeoloanchaos you are pretty on the money with the distinctions. A psycholigist can also perform IQ testings in addition to testing personality issues in some states they can prescribe meds. Most therapist go on to get specialized trainings in different theories i.e DBT, Cognitive , psychodynamics etc. I have not talked to a life coach but assume that their training is very specific to MWD theory on how to save a M and yourself.
SW I think an IC who has been trained in cognitive therapy ( Becks theory CBT or Albert Ellis theory REBT) can help you change some of your behaviors and thinking patterns. just my 2c
