Legal & Ethical Guidelines for Distance Mental Health Counseling: Introduction

Psychological associations have begun to develop guidelines specific to the provision of distance mental health counseling. The laws and regulations that govern these services vary by state, province, territory, and country. It is important for providers to make reasonable effort to be familiar with and, as appropriate, address the laws and regulations that govern distance mental health delivery within the area in which they and their clients are located.
