Tele-counseling jobs focus on providing counseling services online or over the telephone. In a tele-counseling position, your responsibilities depend on the kind of teletherapy you offer and the needs of each client. You can provide telecounseling services as a mental health therapist, licensed clinical social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist. In this type of virtual career, your duties include conducting client assessments and providing therapy or counseling over the phone or internet. While virtual counseling jobs are most commonly available in the telehealth industry, you may also find academic tele-counseling roles that involve guiding new students and applicants at a college or university.
