How to Start an Online Therapy Practice

• Look into your state’s laws for online counseling businesses — they’re all different! You can usually find these from the Health and Human Services board.

• If necessary, get the proper certification to do online counseling.

• Choose a telehealth or video conferencing platform that’s HIPPA-compliant.

• Hire a virtual assistant to help with things like paperwork, scheduling, payments, insurance, etc.

• Decide if you’re going to accept insurance or private-pay.

• Create a website for your practice if you don’t already have one.

• Utilize social media to get the word out about your business.

• Start an email campaign to share information about your services.

• Find a resource to access worksheets and tools for your clients, like Therapist Aid.

• Create an Informed Consent policy for your practice that covers things like privacy, cancellation policy, your rates, etc.

• Invest in advertising through social media and/or Google ads.

• Connect with other therapists who can refer clients to you.
