Life coaching is not covered by insurance. Insurance will only cover counseling unless you are diagnosed with a mental disorder listed in the DSM IV from a licensed therapist. Adjustment disorder is most commonly used to cover problems in living. If you pursue counseling you are free to ask you therapist what you are being diagnosed with.
I am a therapist that has chosen to do life coaching rather than traditional therapy. Life coaching is action oriented, future focused counseling.
If you find a therapist who specialized in Brief Therapy or Solution Focused Therapy you could get it covered by insurance and it would feel a lot like coaching.
Hope that helps.

insurance companies don't cover life coaches or therapists.

nope, life coaches are not required to have licensure, therapists are. The insurance will pay for you to see a licensed professional, not someone who just decided to be a life coach.

no, they won't cover a life coach. your best bet is with a therapist, which most companies and policies will cover.
