Digital Boundaries in Therapy: Navigating Professionalism in an Online World
Dr Kris Rao
About This Webinar
The digital age has transformed the way therapists and clients connect, communicate, and access information. While technology offers new opportunities for engagement and accessibility, it also introduces complex ethical, professional, and relational challenges.
This webinar explores the evolving landscape of digital boundaries in psychotherapy, including social media use, online searches of clients, clients searching therapists, texting and messaging, email communication, and maintaining professionalism in digital spaces. Participants will examine common ethical dilemmas, boundary risks, and practical strategies for protecting the therapeutic relationship while adapting to contemporary modes of communication.
Designed for mental health professionals across disciplines, this webinar offers a clinically grounded and practical framework for navigating the increasingly blurred boundaries between personal, professional, and digital worlds.
