Abstract

This poster examines the use of tele-counseling with children, adolescents, and families. The benefits of tele-mental health are discussed and potential ethical concerns are identified. Research on tele-counseling with children and adolescents through video-conferencing, telephone, chat, and online programs is presented. In addition, studies evaluating tele-counseling with parents via CBT and behavioral intervention are reviewed. Guidelines for school psychologists regarding specific practices that facilitate tele-counseling are highlighted.
