Houston Licensed Professional Counselors Association
Online Therapy: Ethics, Logistics and Opportunities
Descriptions: Many mental health professionals were forced to begin working online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition to working online can have many challenges for both clients and clinicians alike. This workshop will cover some of the logistical requirements of providing a confidential and accessible online presence, as well as the personal and professional issues that arise in this work environment. Ethics are a significant part of these considerations and are therefore a major part of the presentation.
