The COVID-9 pandemic has raised multiple issues and concerns for clinical mental health counselors (CMHCs) and other mental health professionals, such as:
1. Should I keep seeing clients in my office?
2. What precautions can I take to reduce exposure?
3. How do I get set up for telehealth?
4. Do telehealth sessions count towards therapy hours for registered interns?
5. Can qualified supervisors conduct supervision sessions through webcam?
6. How do I treat clients with OCD and anxiety during a pandemic?
7. How do I balance reasonable precautions on one hand and encourage a sense of hope and security on the other?
