Who can see you online in Georgia

Before booking an online session, check one thing: is the therapist licensed in Georgia? Licensing follows where you're sitting during the session, so a Georgia license covers you anywhere in the state. Psychologists can also work across state lines under PSYPACT where both jurisdictions take part.

License letters tell you how a therapist trained: psychologists hold a doctorate, LPCs and LCSWs a master's in counseling or social work, and LMFTs specialize in couples and family work. Whichever you pick, the license should be issued in Georgia if you'll meet online from here.

Moving, studying or working in Alabama, Florida, or North Carolina? Tell your therapist before a session from there. Unless they're licensed there as well, sessions may have to wait until you're back in the state.
