Yes, there is. Do your homework and check out the therapist's credentials. We probably all should do that anyway, in any setting, but somehow it does seem easier for someone to set themselves up online without proper qualifications, and you have less to go on if you only see someone online. I was able to talk a therapist who only practiced in a traditional setting to work with me online, until I was able to see her in person. You might also want to find someone you might eventually or occasionally visit in person, and see if they would do some work online.

There is a professional organization for online therapy. https://www.ismho.org/home.asp They have resources, and some guidelines for practice of online therapy https://www.ismho.org/suggestions.asp
