HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF TELEPSYCHOLOGY AND STEER CLEAR OF COMMON PITFALLS BY REBECCA A. CLAY APA Monitor on Psychology May 2017 Edition When psychologist Keren Chansky Suberri, PhD, moved her practice from southern New Jersey to Philadelphia in 2015, she didn’t worry about finding office space convenient for her clients—primarily families of children with health-care problems. That’s because she switched from in-person meetings to videoconferencing. “I had become acutely

It can be difficult for families of children with diabetes, seizure disorders and other serious issues to find appropriate childcare, she says. Plus, parents who’ve already taken a lot of time off for their children’s medical appointments are often reluctant to take off more to see a psychologist. Others simply live far too far away to make regular visits. Suberri’s other clients like videoconferencing, too. The technique
works well with clients with agoraphobia, for instance, for whom “just going

says Suberri. Other clients appreciate the privacy of meeting with Suberri
virtually from their own homes or offices. For the complete article by Rebecca Clay See: https://tinyurl.com/TelepsychKCS |
