[humanser] Thinking about online psychology/counseling, thus questions

[Quinto Sanchez]

Geraldo,

I live in U.S. and I tried online counseling but its hard to get clients 
just like it would be hard to get clients when your working out of your own 
office. you have to market yourself and get out there and give speeches let 
people know about you. Find a nitch and get recognized as an expert working 
with that population. I don't know about the legalities of international 
counseling but, its already frowned upon to even counsel out of your state 
here in the U.S. I could potentially loose my license in Texas if I were to 
be counseling outside of my state. If you have a licensing  board that 
governs over counselors there in Mexico then ask them if your allowed to 
counsel internationally. You can charge anywhere from $40 to $75 for online 
counseling but, insurances don't pay for it.
