Online therapy and therapist licenses in Louisiana
What decides who can see you online is the license. A therapist licensed in Louisiana can work with you by video wherever you are in the state; one licensed only elsewhere generally can't, however close their office is.
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 Louisiana if you'll meet online from here.
Commuting to Arkansas, Mississippi, or Texas? A session taken from work there counts as a session in that state, so ask whether your therapist's license reaches it.
