Telesupervision: Building bridges in a digital era.

Technological advances have revolutionized the way we think of counseling and psychotherapy education. Not only are we able to reach trainees, counselors, and clients in the far corners of the world, but Internet-based educational processes have transformed the process by which we deliver curriculum and engage in supervision practices. This study highlights a training model that has been successfully used at one institution for preparing supervisors-in-training to engage in telesupervision. Through empirical data, we highlight lessons learned-challenges, benefits, ethical dilemmas, the impact of telesupervision practices on the supervisory working alliance, and attitudes towards and willingness to use telesupervision in the future. Implications for training and supervision in a global society are addressed.
