“I began attending conferences and believed telehealth counseling would have a major impact in the near future,” she says. “I pursued the certification and became the first person in the state of Virginia to earn the BCTMH credential.” The timing was perfect, she says. “When the COVID-19 pandemic began, my counseling services switched from all in-person to all telehealth services. Because of my education and certification in telehealth through CCE, the transition to telehealth work was very easy.” Earning the BC-TMH has helped tremendously during her career, she says. “Having the BC-TMH has proved beneficial for all my jobs and all my clients. My hopes and plans are to continue to have the opportunity to provide telemental health services to my underserved rural community. I have found it to be a rewarding and safe practice that has allowed many people to have needed services that otherwise would not have been possible.” “When the COVID-19 pandemic began, my counseling services switched from all in-person to all telehealth services.
