PRESENTATION SUMMARY

Since the pandemic started in March 2020, therapists have moved their practices online in great numbers. While better internet connections and accessible online video sessions have made this transition much easier than in previous decades, there is still a level of skill and ethical considerations we need to look at in offering technology assisted therapy sessions. In this webinar, we will look at the ethical dilemmas, as well as tips and strategies for success in conducting couples therapy online successfully. What clients are best suited for this transition, managing high conflict situations, and tailoring your interventions to maximize the screen time will be explored in this one-hour workshop.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Take away 2 strategies for managing high conflict situations in teletherapy with couples

• Identify the main ethical concerns for practicing teletherapy with couples

• Implement 2 success strategies in harnessing the power of technology to enhance the couples therapy experience
