What is a Remote Psychologist?

Working remotely as a psychologist, you will be providing therapy and treatment for clients, monitoring their behavior, and identifying their conditions by use of clinical techniques. Proceeding these steps, you will be able to determine how to treat their particular needs in the most appropriate way for your clients. You will be working with clients on an individual, case-by-case basis.

McKinsey analysis suggests that telehealth use post-COVID has increased 38x from a pre-COVID baseline. Telehealth necessity in the pandemic it seems led to consumer comfort post-pandemic which has resulted in a wealth of remote psychology job opportunities and it seems that remote working and the quality of life improvements associated with it are top of mind for mental health professionals. Our latest survey found remote work to be the top factor for job seekers.

When working as a psychologist remotely, you will mainly be liaising with clients by way of a webcam over the internet. Using a webcam, you can create a virtual office setting where you will be able to talk with your clients. Usually, you will meet with your clients in pre-booked appointments, but you may be called to speak to a client outside of your normal hours in the case of an emergency such as a mental breakdown or some kind of crisis and they require support from you.

What are the requirements to become a Remote Psychologist?

The required qualifications you will need to become a remote psychologist are the same as those required for a traditional offline psychologist position. These qualifications include a doctorate in psychology in addition to thousands of hours of supervised clinical experience. You will also need to pass the EPPP exam to become fully qualified. The requirements you will need vary slightly depending on the state, and you may need to become acquire a license to practice psychology in multiple states if you’re providing remote psychological services outside of your region.

Beyond the qualifications, to work as a remote psychologist there are a few essential characteristics you will require. These include close attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and a certain level of empathy, and good interpersonal skills. These aspects are very important for you to be able to fulfill your responsibilities as a practicing psychologist effectively. Also, because you’ll be working online, a good internet connection is essential.

What is the expected salary of a Remote Psychologist?

The salary of a remote psychologist is dependent on a variety of factors. Some psychologists work for large companies that provide online therapy such as Better Help. 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. It also allows you to spend less time commuting to an office and it reduces travel costs for both you and your clients. 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.
