Other psychologists have run their own private practice and therefore set their own fees. Salaries are also dependant on your location, as this can vary substantially. Additionally, the salaries of psychologists who have their own private practice can vary depending on the number of clients they have per week, therefore their income can fluctuate throughout the year.

What is the career outlook for a Remote Psychologist?

Working as a clinical psychologist or therapist, generally, is a very rewarding and fulfilling career path for those who are temperamentally suited towards this line of work. Working remotely as a psychologist, however, has many advantages as well as disadvantages. Working remotely allows you to reach a broader range of clients all across the country and the rest of the world, regardless of their geographical location.

The main disadvantage of working remotely in this field is you may find it difficult to connect on a personal level with your clients over the internet or by telephone, in contrast to working with clients in person. With that being said, whether you’re working as a psychologist in private practice or a larger company, psychologists and psychotherapists are still in demand and the opportunity to work remotely has allowed for more opportunities to work in this field.
