In this episode of The ScaleSmart Podcast, I sit down with Ellie Richter, bilingual speech therapist and founder of The Essential Teletherapist, to talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable practice using virtual services. Ellie shares her journey as she transitioned from in-person services to 100% virtual school contracting, and how teletherapy became not just a service model, but a way to protect her energy, time, and family life.
This conversation goes far beyond private practice, speech therapy, tools, and platforms. We talk honestly about boundaries, buy-in, and the mindset shifts clinicians need to stop bending their businesses around everyone else’s expectations. If you have ever felt stretched thin, frustrated by inefficiency, or unsure how to advocate for a model that actually works for you, this episode will help you rethink what is possible.
In this episode, we talk about:
If you are curious about virtual services but worried about pushback, burnout, or doing it “wrong,” this episode will give you a grounded perspective on how teletherapy can support both client outcomes and your quality of life.
