I’m pretty convinced that those of us who lived through Covid and social distancing will be making sense of the experience for the rest of our lives. I talk about grief a lot in my work, and I don’t just use the term when referring to death and loss: we grieve a lot throughout our lives, and it’s not only relevant to things that feel “sad”. Sometimes we grieve change too, even the positive kind, and complex grief can be especially hard to untangle.
One of the big things that changed for most, if not all, therapists over the past few years was the shift from online therapy being a small niche to something we all had to get comfortable with, quickly. In retrospect, many of us were pleasantly surprised to find that working in this way was more effective than we’d anticipated, and allowed for a freedom of movement and ability to serve a broader range of people than a strictly traditional, brick-and-mortar office could accommodate.
As one of the many people who made a significant move during the pandemic, I’ve continued working remotely with my clientele in Texas and secured licensure in my new home state of Georgia, too. While I do anticipate returning to in-person work sometime in 2024, I don’t foresee stopping my remote practice any time soon. The way a therapist’s license works (at least, a Licensed Professional Counselor like myself), I legally must be licensed in the state where my client resides - so if you’re a resident of Texas or Georgia, I’d love to hear from you.
