Are you confused about documenting text therapy sessions? Wondering if you should write progress notes for text conversations with clients? Dr. Maelisa Hall sheds some light on what to keep in mind when texting with clients!

Text therapy (or text counseling) is growing rapidly and there are many services such as TalkSpace and BetterHelp that work with large numbers of therapists to make counseling more accessible to clients. However, these services do not answer your clinical questions about things like documentation, paperwork required for online therapy clients, and how to handle things like record requests when all therapy is provided via text message.

Maelisa gives you guidance so you can think about what issues are most important to you and how to cover yourself if a difficult situation arises. Would you like more help with your documentation?
