I know this has been asked before (back in 2007, apparently). Have people's opinions about it shifted in the interim?
I have a personal fantasy about setting up an online storefront at some point in the future and selling at least some professional consultation services online, and definitely having a way for people to pay using online payment systems (e.g., Paypal, maybe Bitcoin).
I'm not so sure about straightforwardly providing chat-based or teleconferencing-based 1:1 psychotherapy, however, although perhaps I could see offering email consultations on specific problems, maybe professionally moderating an online support group, "coaching" services for caregivers (e.g., offering behavior management tips), etc.....
Ethical, risk management, logistical issues abound, but I would think they've become more manageable over the last few years. Opinions?
