Want to Travel More This Year as a Therapist? You’re Not As Stuck As You Think.

Want to travel more this year as a therapist but feel stuck because of licensure, clients, or money? In this video, I break down the 3 biggest barriers that keep therapists believing they can’t live abroad while running a U.S.-based online private practice. If you’ve ever wondered whether being a digital nomad therapist is actually possible, this is for you.

I share my real-life experience working online as a licensed psychologist while living in countries like Thailand, Bali, and Morocco. I walk through what most therapy licenses really require, how therapists can continue attracting clients online while living abroad, and why moving overseas can actually lower your cost of living and reduce burnout. I also talk honestly about money, savings, and why you don’t necessarily need a massive caseload or huge financial buffer to make this lifestyle work.

This video is here to remind you that your desire for freedom is valid, and travel as a therapist is far more possible than you’ve been led to believe. If you’re dreaming about building a flexible private practice, working online, and creating more mobility in your life, download the free legal checklist linked below and start exploring what’s possible.
