Telemental health is not a separate service from mental health services. All state licensing boards require that licensed clinicians follow all the regulations for practicing under their license no matter what medium of communication is used. All licensing boards also require that clinicians only practice within the boundaries of their competence. This usually requires education, continuing education, and/or supervision in telemental health. Complete our telehealth training program to cover all the essential competencies of providing telemental health services and earn the THTC (Telemental Health Training Certificate).

@Christopher H., It's important to check with your board to see if you must be located in your state of license at the time of service. If practicing in a state outside of your license, you'd need to check both states' boards.
We cover this in the following Law and Ethics Training: https://telementalhealthtraining.com/thtc-certificate-courses/product/telemental-health-law-and-ethics-online-self-study

Do licensed therapists (LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, LPCC, LAMFT, LMFT) need to be licensed in their home state AND the state they are practicing in?
