In this six hour workshop, CAMFT staff attorney Bradley Muldrow, Esq. will provide a helpful overview of how therapists can navigate some of the most common legal and ethical issues providers face when working for online therapy platforms. The workshop will also cover helpful issues therapists should consider when offering coaching services (in addition to their therapy services).

Participants will understand when therapists can and cannot treat patients who are physically located across state lines during sessions. Participants will understand key legal and ethical issues therapists should consider when offering coaching services (in addition to their therapy services).

Participants will be able to distinguish between individual and group insurance contracts. Participants will be able to distinguish between “messaging-based therapy services” and more common forms of text-based communications with patients (e.g. “check-in” and scheduling text messages).
