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. This tracker is kept current against primary sources — last updated 2026-06-12.

PSYPACT — psychologists (43 participating jurisdictions)

A psychologist with an active APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) can legally see you by video in any participating state. Source: psypact.gov.

Counseling Compact — counselors (6 issuing states)

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.
