Www.todayscouch.com might be hiring therapists. That’s perfect for a work from home mommy.
I think they have a page on their site for therapists. Hatzlacha!

Today’s Couch worked for me, it’s the same thing as face to face except it’s through the computer. I actually liked getting therapy this way better than face to face, and used it more than face to face therapy. It’s not for people who aren’t comfortable using a computer, but it helped me more than “regular” therapy ever did.

Seems to me a field where the work should primarily be done face to face, not remotely.

I see a therapist online. I do actually see her as we use videoconferencing software. Smile

It feels a bit different than actually being in the same room, but we can still see each other's facial expressions, which makes a huge difference over talking on the phone. I've been to in-person therapy as well and I do not think switching to online made it less useful. I think it's more about finding a therapist that you "click" with and who works well with the videoconferencing format. I imagine it's not for everyone, but for therapists who are comfortable and good working that way it's great.

OP, I think it's a good field to get into. A lot of people need therapy but don't live near therapists, or may not want to go to one in their own community. Frum women who live "OOT" might really like having access to a frum woman therapist online.

I do life coaching through Skype, and it works great. A lot of people don't commit to coaching or therapy because their lives are so busy, transportation can be an issue, having to go too far to find the right match, etc.

Being able to process issues in their own home can be very comforting for the client, especially if they are having panic/anxiety issues.

If you are going to offer services from home, make sure you have child care if you kids are not old enough to understand that a closed office door means "play quietly and don't bother mommy".

Nothing wrecks a breakthrough moment like having someone come in and yell "Ima, Dovi pooped again!" LOL
