Can You Legally Be a Digital Nomad Therapist? 4 Things You Must Know!

Описание: So, you want to freely travel the world as a private practice therapist, but you’re not sure if you can legally continue running your private practice abroad. Before you pack your bags, let’s talk about the legal and ethical considerations of offering teletherapy while living abroad as a digital nomad.

The good news is: for most therapists, it is possible - but the rules are widely misunderstood.

In this video, I break down the 4 major legal questions every therapist must answer before moving abroad so you can practice ethically, compliantly, and without unnecessary panic.

Whether your license actually cares where you are physically located
How interstate licensure compacts can quietly limit working abroad
What to check with your liability insurance before leaving the U.S.
How your EHR (like SimplePractice or Sessions Health) can impact legal compliance

Let's dive in!
