You have been working with a client in-person for several months. They are moving out of state and were unable to find a new clinician in the time they had to prepare for the move. You obtained a temporary license to help them transition to their new home. Your client has a history of suicidal ideation. What is the MOST important action to take before you start treating them via telehealth in their new home? Do practice sessions to get the client comfortable with telehealth. Update their safety plan to include resources local to their new home. Develop a backup plan for dropped calls and weak internet. Acknowledge that telehealth can be awkward but it gets better with time.
