Common questions about therapy across state lines in VI
Can a psychologist in another state see me by video in VI?
Not on an out-of-state license alone. VI does not currently participate in PSYPACT and has no out-of-state telehealth-registration pathway for psychologists, so a psychologist must be licensed in VI to see you by video. 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 VI?
It depends on your therapist's license and VI's rules. A psychologist can continue by video only if they are licensed in VI, because VI does not participate in PSYPACT. A licensed counselor (LPC) can only if they are licensed in VI, because VI is not yet issuing Counseling Compact privileges. 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 VI let out-of-state counselors practice via the Counseling Compact?
Not yet. VI is not currently issuing Counseling Compact privileges — enacting the compact is not the same as issuing privileges under it. A counselor must be licensed in VI to see you by video. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.
How can I verify a therapist is licensed in VI?
Check the VI 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.
