Course overview

In a rapidly evolving world where telehealth has become the norm, mental health professionals face the unintended consequence of abandoning clients who deeply value the unique support and connection that in-person counseling provides. This course will explore the unique benefits of face-to-face interactions, including building trust, reading non-verbal cues, and fostering a deeper sense of empathy and connection. By understanding clients' needs who prefer physical presence, therapists can better serve a diverse range of individuals, ensuring no one feels left behind in the telehealth shift.
