Hey, I’m really sorry this is happening. I can understand and would feel extremely upset by this if I were in your shoes, especially if the therapist told me they could see me over video indefinitely while in another state. It sounds like maybe your therapist wasn’t aware of the rules and laws when she made this commitment to you. Therapists are technically only allowed to provide therapy to clients in states in which they are licensed.

However, I do know that laws and restrictions have loosened up due to COVID. Therapists may be allowed to provide therapy to clients in another state under certain conditions due to COVID and each state has different rules around it (some have time limits for how long a therapist can see you and some states may not actually allow it at all). I saw my therapist from my hometown over video when I moved to another state but it was only for a set period of time while I was transitioning to a therapist here. I’m not sure if your therapist made the exception to see you because of the COVID restrictions loosening or if she just wasn’t aware of the laws.
