New technology and evolving societal trends have significantly impacted the mental health field and invited novel law and ethics questions. Most recently, the rise of online therapy platforms and the coaching profession have left many therapists wondering how they can engage with these significant developments without risking their licenses. 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).

Brief Summary:

Participants will understand what online therapy platforms are and recognize some of the most common legal and ethical issues providers for such platforms navigate. Participants will understand the importance of upholding their legal and ethical responsibilities even if the platforms they work for request or expect them to take actions that are not consistent with their legal and ethical duties. 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).

Learning Objectives:

Participants will be able to identify a recent law clarifying that online therapy platforms are health care providers that are generally required to adhere to the standards of California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. 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). Participants will be able to distinguish the primary function of therapy malpractice liability insurance from that of coaching liability insurance.
