Alyssa’s Answer

When working online a clinician still needs to follow ethical codes and protect their clients. They need to be open and honest and create a safe space within the environment. The clinician also needs to create a sense of hope and provide a goal driven session each time. They also need to be happy and helpful and encouraging.
