Licensing and online therapy in Delaware

What decides who can see you online is the license. A therapist licensed in Delaware can work with you by video wherever you are in the state; one licensed only elsewhere generally can't, however close their office is.

If a profile doesn't name the license, ask for it before the first session. A licensed therapist will tell you the type and number, and you can confirm it with the Delaware licensing board.

Travel is the usual catch: from Maryland, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, or anywhere else outside Delaware, an online session may not be allowed unless the therapist's license covers where you are. Check before the trip, not during it.
