Online therapy across state lines: GA

What matters legally is where you are during sessions — not where the therapist sits. Here is what that means in GA, from primary sources.

Psychologists (PSYPACT)

GA participates in PSYPACT. A psychologist with an active APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) can legally see you by video in GA even without a GA license — that authority is exactly what our “PSYPACT” chip means, and we verify it against verifypsypact.org. Primary source: psypact.gov.

Counselors (Counseling Compact)

GA is among the states where the Counseling Compact is live for privilege issuance — an LPC holding a GA privilege can legally see you by video. That's the “Counseling Compact” chip. Primary source: counselingcompact.gov.

Common questions about therapy across state lines in GA

Can a psychologist in another state see me by video in GA?

Yes. GA participates in PSYPACT, so a psychologist who holds an active PSYPACT APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) is generally authorized to see you by video while you are in GA, even without being licensed there. What matters legally is where you are located during the session. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.

Can my therapist keep seeing me if I move to GA?

It depends on your therapist's license and GA's rules. A psychologist can continue by video if they hold PSYPACT APIT authority, because GA participates in PSYPACT. A licensed counselor (LPC) can if they hold a Counseling Compact privilege valid in GA, because GA issues them. What governs is where you are during the session, so tell your therapist before your first appointment after you move. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.

Does GA let out-of-state counselors practice via the Counseling Compact?

Yes. GA issues Counseling Compact privileges, so a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who holds a privilege valid in GA is generally authorized to see you by video without being separately licensed there. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.

How can I verify a therapist is licensed in GA?

Check the GA licensing board's primary-source license lookup, or use a Kairn profile, which shows the date each license was verified. Kairn checks every license against primary sources — the NPPES registry and state boards — and verifies PSYPACT authority against verifypsypact.org.
