Who can see you online in Massachusetts
Before booking an online session, check one thing: is the therapist licensed in Massachusetts? Licensing follows where you're sitting during the session, so a Massachusetts license covers you anywhere in the state. Psychologists can also work across state lines under PSYPACT where both jurisdictions take part.
Four license types come up on profiles in Massachusetts: psychologist, LPC, LCSW and LMFT. Any of them can help with anxiety, depression or stress; for couples or family work an LMFT is trained for exactly that, and for testing or assessment a psychologist.
Moving, studying or working in Connecticut, New Hampshire, or New York? 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.
