"Can I really provide effective supervision online?" That’s the question many supervisors ask when shifting from in-person to virtual settings. The absence of physical presence can raise doubts about connection, oversight, and clinical accountability. But telesupervision also opens the door to flexible scheduling, reduced isolation, and expanded access to consultation—when done with intention and skill.
Explore how to overcome the common challenges of distance supervision and unlock its full potential with clear strategies, strong structure, and relational depth. This course invites you to step into telesupervision with confidence, grounded in proven methods that foster connection, growth, and clinical integrity—even from a distance.
