058 - The TeleHealth Counseling Clinic at Texas A & M

The Online Counselling Podcast

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
