Licensing and online therapy in Idaho

Telehealth rules are tied to your location during the session. If you're in Idaho, the therapist has to hold an Idaho license, or practice there under an interstate compact such as PSYPACT for psychologists.

The license type shapes what a therapist focuses on. Psychologists can run formal assessments, LMFTs are trained for relationships, and LPCs and LCSWs cover most everyday concerns. If you're thinking about medication, a psychiatrist or your doctor is the one to ask.

Moving, studying or working in Montana, Nevada, or Oregon? 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.
