The Online Counselling Podcast

Roy Huggins, LPC, NCC - Person Centered Tech Episode 12 is all about answering those questions that are holding us back and addressing the tech, security and ethic issues around online counseling. So many times I hear therapist talk about how they are thinking about having online therapy be a part of their practices – but are concerned about HIPPA issues, ethics, license, etc. So today, we go to one of the experts in the field: Roy Huggins of Person Centered Tech. He is one of the leading voices when it comes to advising psychotherapists on issues around online counseling. We talk about skype, HIPAA, ethics, license issues of doing counseling across state lines – we cover it all. This topic is so vast, we couldn’t possible go into depth on every issue – but I think we answer most of the pressing questions. We also talk about the very nature of counseling online and how the field may be changing in the future. You never know – 5 or 10 years down the line, there Virtual Reality Office could be part of the discussion. It was a fascinating interview and I learned so much more. I’m sure this only going to bring up even more questions. Don’t worry - Roy consults at a VERY reasonable rate on an ongoing basis to make sure you are in line with HIPAA and following your ethics. Be sure to listen until the very end, because Roy goes into how he consults and advises and discusses his different offerings. Be sure to look him up: www.personcenteredtech.com
