In the early pandemic I did a virtual IOP program. At the start of each meeting we had to verify that we were physically in the state where the IOP was located. I got the impression it mattered where you were sitting, not where you actually lived.
ETA: Found this. Seems to be
psychologist specific, but may apply to other types of therapists as well.

Health-care care provider licensing is strictly state-based, so your psychology license only allows you to practice psychology in the state or territory that issued your license. When a patient comes into your office, you can provide psychological services even if the patient lives elsewhere.
