There is some preliminary indication that online counseling is effective, but compared to face-to-face therapy there remains a dearth of information. There also are legal and ethical questions still at large, the most pressing being where the therapy is actually taking place, at the therapist’s location or at the client’s. The problem here is with jurisdiction should an ethical complaint occur. If the client lives out of state and makes a formal complaint against the clinician, the only way the therapist’s state agencies could investigate and, if necessary, intervene effectively would be if the therapy was considered to be conducted in the therapist’s office; otherwise, the State would be without jurisdiction. Consequently, we advise that online therapy be undertaken as a last resort at this time.
