The leading online counseling practice in Ireland is The Irish Online Counselling & Psychotherapy Service, founded by Donijka Monk and Mary McHugh almost 5 years ago. AND they are the newest members of the The Online Counselling Directory and we couldn’t be more pleased to have them join the family. Today I get to talk with Donijka about her journey to the world of therapy and how she and Mary were drawn into the world of private practice after seeing the massive need for convenient and boundaried online counseling. They now have an 100% online GROUP practice with a total of 7 therapists. They are a truly global practice that uses online therapy (Chat /Phone / and Skype) to bring their professional and high quality service to those in need all over the world. Today we talk about the evolution of counseling and the need to meet the clients where they are – using tele-mental health to reach expats, those in rural areas, and so many others. It was a thrill to get to know Donijka Monk.   www.counsellingonline.ie

So good to be back after quite a hiatus. As our field is rapidly changing due to the Covid 19 Pandemic and therapists all over the world are being forced to work from home, I thought it would be a great idea to put out a few new episodes. And I couldn’t think of a better guest that Raymond Barrett. He is the founder of Telehealth Certification Institute and has been training therapist on TeleMental health for years. He is incredibly knowledgeable about how the regulations are changing in the last few days and I’m thrilled he could join us and keep us up to date. And he has put together a huge Online Therapy Summit – a weekend of classes that will provide continuing education training. The link to his site and to the summit is below: https://telementalhealthtraining.com/ https://telementalhealthtraining.com/course-offerings/product/summit-2020-full-access

Today we get to talk with Dr. Carly McCord about how she helped develop the TeleHealth Counseling Clinic at Texas A & M. Seeing that there was a need in rural Texas for mental health care, but realizing that clients had huge obstacles in receiving it (digital divide, transportation, etc) and having many qualified doctoral students at the University – she worked to combine the need with her students and added in technology – developing a clinic that has provided online therapy to over 800 clients (that’s 8000 sessions!). We talk about tele-supervision and training tomorrow’s online therapists. www.telehealthcounseling.org

Forrest Pulley – Co-Founder Nicholas Fuller – Chief Technical Officer I am so fortunate to get to talk to Forrest Pulley (co-founder) and Nicholas Fuller (Chief Technical Officer) of iTherapy. iTherapy is an incredibly robust service that serves the field of online therapy. They offier HIPAA compliant video, EHR services, payment gateway, scheduling, notes and other services that are typical in the field. But they set themselves apart with their customer services and some of their higher offerings like business coaching, marketing guidance, virtual assistance and tips on how to jump start your practice as an online therapist. They’ve done a great job of listening to online therapists about their needs and then creating programs and services to meet those needs.
