For me it isn't about who's working harder vs taking it easier because it's irrelevant either way. And while it may feel differently, that doesn't necessarily mean it's lesser. There are, however, class action lawsuits forming against Universities for tuition reimbursement due to classes shifting to on-line. So obviously there are students/parents who feel they're not getting the value they've paid for. But I don't know anyone working in any profession that has shifted to on-line that is paid more or less, nor who charges more or less. The educators I know are paid the same salary as before. My accountant charges the same. My NP with whom I had a Televisit through the medical network is paid the same, and my insurance reimburses the same as an office visit. I don't see why therapists should be an exception either way.

That said, my T is in solo private practice. She decided for whatever reason to not do TeleHealth. She opted for phone sessions only which she sometimes conducts from home and sometimes from her office. Sessions are scheduled for the full time, but I do not believe insurance reimburses her because she's not using their platform. She's chosen to not charge clients for these calls. Whether or not that will continue, I can't say, especially if distancing remains necessary for an extended time. I'm fine with the phone calls, but if I weren't, I'd take a break, charge or no charge.
