Online Counseling and Therapy SkillsFor clinicians who are considering online practiceTraining online clinicians since 2003
|
Launching an online practice requires more than making a decision to hang out a virtual shingle or signing up with an existing online clinic. Experienced clinicians must develop effective ways of translating therapeutic skills that are portable and replacing those that are not, as well as applying techniques and perceptions that are unique to text-based communication. Those who want to work from an individual website must take into account a broad array of technical, clinical, and marketing considerations. Liz's online training supplies the basics and applies the cutting-edge observations of an experienced online practitioner.
