Supervision & Ethics in Telemental Health Counseling

This workshop provides definition and direction for Clinical Supervisors in two essential areas of TeleMental Health Counseling (TMHC): 1) How to effectively, ethically, and legally provide clinical supervision using technology-assisted delivery and 2) How to effectively, ethically, and legally supervise clinicians using TMHC as part of their clinical practice. The Georgia Composite Board Rule 135-11-01 requires that in addition to having knowledge of the rules 8 components, clinical supervisors be competent in applying best practices in clinical supervision, to TMHC.

  2. Explain the intricacies of online relationships, the drawbacks of non face-to-face interactions and ways in which technology-based clinical practice and clinical supervision can be conducted safely, within boundaries of competence, ethically, legally, and effectively.
  3. Outline for supervisees an effective, ethical, and legal framework for engaging in TMHC that includes but is not limited to accurate representation of themselves and skillset appropriate ways to verify client or supervisee identity and contact information, and create protected documentation appropriate for TMHC and supervision.
