ANECDOTE

Counselor Sued

  • A counselor was sued for providing life coaching services to an out-of-state client.
  • This client had sought marital counseling but was offered life coaching due to licensing issues.
ADVICE

Licensing Requirements

  • Therapists must be licensed in the client's state to provide services.
  • Verify client location, as telehealth makes it harder to confirm residency.
INSIGHT

Life Coaching as a Loophole

  • Offering life coaching to bypass interstate licensing is risky.
  • Clients seeking help care about receiving it, not the provider's title.
