In my video about jurisdictional restrictions relating to online counseling therapy, I referred to the client or public driven nature of having therapy services available online. In this video I expand on that topic.
With almost all other services available online today, it isn’t surprising that people want to access mental health services online also. The positive aspects of obtaining this service without leaving home are very appealing to many and are desirable for many reasons. People want to have the freedom to pick the therapist they want, and the freedom to choose how to access that therapy.
It is interesting to see the reaction from clients when they realize what is available and how they can do their counseling sessions online. Their eyes light up and they are amazed at the range of possibilities and systems we have in place. They love the fact that they don’t have to drive anywhere or deal with weather.
We do have our work cut out for us as therapists and professionals but it is also important that we make sure that our jurisdictional issues don’t restrict the public.
Please have a look at this video and I hope you will consider contributing your input on this very important subject as we venture into the future of counseling therapy.
With You in Mind,
