Case Study A
You have been working with an 11-year-old student for three months to help him with issues he’s been having with serious levels of anxiety and depression. The student has been responding well to counseling and is starting to develop more self-esteem and confidence through his interactions with you.
The parents of the student have just informed you that they will be going on a three-week business trip to England. They have received permission to take the student out of school so he can accompany them. Both the parents and the student have requested that you continue your counseling with the student via email and Zoom during this time. They will be taking their computer on the trip and will provide the student with his own email account so the two of you can remain in contact.

Case Study B
Over the years you have developed a specialization in working with clients who have experienced issues concerning their identity and sexuality. You recently attended a conference on this topic and found that many therapists have developed distance counseling practices for clients presenting with such concerns. The shift to the distance counseling modality was supported by reports from clients worrying about feeling judged and felt this setting to be less threatening in comparison to face-to-face settings. The barrier of distance was reported to act as a protective barrier that allowed clients to feel less vulnerable.
You decide to offer online counseling and set up a website advertising this service. You receive several inquiries, including a series of emails from a 35-year-old man who says he is struggling with his gender identity and is in the beginning stages of exploring hormone replacement treatment. He claims he is too ashamed to see a therapist in person and fears someone in his community will find out. He is not reporting any relationship or sexual problems, but very much wants your help.
