Q: I live in another state -- can I do online mental health teletherapy, with an out of state counselor-therapist?
A#1: Yes -- per state law, only if the counselor/therapist holds a license in the state that you live in.
For example: A Fort Collins, Colorado based counselor may also be licensed in Wyoming, and practice in Cheyenne (your home town).
A#2: No -- per state law, a licensed or registered counselors/therapists can only provide mental health teletherapy services in their licensing state, where they live and work, and to in-state residents only. Also, a face-to-face relationship must be established first, and client and counselor must meet face-to-face periodically. The very best example of the mental health video teletherapy law:
Disclosure: 1) There are significant legal differences between mental health video teletherapy services vs. life coaching video services, and 2) life coaching services, whether in-person or via video, are unregulated and can be provided to anyone in the USA and world.

- You are a current client, and while you travel out of state for pleasure or business, you are provided the option to continue mental health therapy sessions via digital web based video services
