"While the pandemic has negatively affected many businesses, the mental health field has seen an influx as anxiety and depression rates continue to rise. Although my business has continued to grow during this time, increased restrictions and fears of contracting COVID have changed how I provide service. The switch from providing primarily face-to-face sessions to now doing telehealth has required me to connect with my clients and their families in a different way. The use of traditional nonverbal cues and facial expressions is not as observable on the computer which can create a disconnect between the counselor and the client. In an effort to resolve this, I have worked diligently to build rapport with my clients and create a safe space for them to question, share, and grow."
