Mine also plans to do this, though he tends to meet virtually from his office, so he'd likely still go in most days. He's still doing virtual only and said that some clients (including me) want to resume meeting in-person again when he allows it, but he suspects some will prefer to remain virtual.
I think virtual sessions could also be useful at times for clients who usually prefer to be in-person. For example, if there was bad weather, then my T could meet with clients virtually from his home (he does that some days) rather than having to cancel sessions. Or if I was feeling a bit ill one day, bad enough that I wouldn't want to go to the office (or would fear I'm contagious), but still well enough to meet, I could just have a virtual session. Same if he was a bit ill. Or if I was out of town and still wanted to meet (though he did a phone session for that in the past, pre-pandemic).
