How can you provide care remotely?
Yes! Throughout the past two years, remote therapy has become less of an exception and more of the norm. Before, if the therapist or client was away on vacation or feeling ill, session would more than likely be canceled. However, with the remote therapy space, sessions are accessible from the comfort of your home, vacation space or office if needed. I have found that being able to schedule a session without the commuting time has given my clients more options for therapy.
