Interstate therapy compacts in 2026
Two interstate compacts let some therapists legally see clients across state lines. What governs is where you are during the session.
Compact membership last checked against the primary sources (psypact.gov, counselingcompact.gov) on Jun 12, 2026 — 96 days ago, past our monthly re-check. Treat it as accurate to that date and confirm anything time-sensitive with the provider or the compact directly.
The data itself last changed on 2026-06-12. A check that finds nothing to change is still a check, so the two dates are published separately.

A licensed counselor (LPC) with a privilege can see you by video only in states that are actually issuing privileges. Many more states have enacted the compact — but enacted is not issuing, and only issuing states count. Source: counselingcompact.gov.
