Summary

Technology has proven itself to be invaluable across many disciplines, including psychology. With the rise in technological advancements, services are now can be provided through technological media. This chapter describes tele-mental health (TMH) services, which refer to the supports (e.g., therapy, consultation, intervention, coaching) that are provided in ‘real time’ by practitioners to clients through telephones, cellphones, computers, tablets and any other device that can facilitate communication with the aid of technology. This chapter in particular focuses on TMH services that are facilitated through video-chat interfaces. The origins and evidence base for TMH are included, along with recommendations for ethical and legal considerations, as well as rapport building. Though practitioners may be hesitant to deliver TMH services, the purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with enough information to help prepare them for the field and ease any reservations they may harbor
