Description
Summary:Counseling licensure boards report emerging needs to regulate technology‐assisted distance counseling and supervision. An analysis of published regulations and telephone interviews with board administrators nationwide suggests that boards agree generally on 7 aspects of technology‐assisted distance practice that need to be regulated.

Current trends may have important implications for counselor education, supervision, and practice.
