Q: Talking too fast re the names of distant counseling companies.
A: InSight, Breakthrough
Q: Can he please repeat the exact names of training companies for telehealth training certifications?
A: The only certification is the Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC): http://www.cce-global.org/dcc
Q: Is a separate certification required before offering tele-mental health?
A: Generally no, but (as always at the moment) several state licensing boards require it.
Q: what color paint does Jay use for his background on the wall behind him? He mentioned blue-ish- why?
Q: Came in late :( What equipment is Jay using? Lighting, camera, etc. Very nice picture.
A: The camera is just the builtin one on the Mac.
Some info on lighting and color from Brian:
I majored in theater and actually took a lighting design class, so I looked around for some useful webcast info articles: https://blog.inxpo.com/best-practices-for-delivering-a-webcast-with-lighting-webcam-and-mic/
I wouldn’t actually buy this product but they have useful tips: http://viewmelight.com/tips-tricks
This one is slightly more technical: http://www.on24.com/blog/webcast-video-lighting/
The reason for the darker neutral background is that it helps highlight the lighter colored skin and clothing of the well-lit presenter. Note that the light you are using, the skin color of the presenter, and the dominant colors of the presenters wardrobe can all influence which color works best. If it’s possible to try before you buy/paint, I encourage you to do so. (At least keep the receipts for any equipment you buy!)
Does this webinar give 1 CEU to ASWB (Social Workers) too?
Hi Debbie,
We are an NBCC-approved CE provider. Many social workers can use NBCC-approved hours. If your state requires ASWB, though, then we’re not quite there yet. Sorry.

How do we watch the event live online? I can’t seem to find any instructions. Thanks.
Hi Nicole,
I see you’ve registered for webinar, so you’ll receive email instructions for viewing the event live and a link to join the webinar. Please email me at [email protected] if you do not receive that email for some reason, and I will send you the instructions and link directly.
Hi Roy. This was very helpful. I didn’t hear whether Oregon allows LPCs to do distance tele-counseling across state lines and internationally. Since you counsel in Japan, I guess that they do but can you confirm? Is there somewhere where I can find the specific guidelines in Oregon? Thanks.
Hi Paula,
We’re glad you found it helpful! Some aspects of Oregon’s treatment of distance tele-counseling were addressed in the webinar. The answer to your questions are more nuanced and complex than a “yes” or “no” or a set of black-and-white guidelines. That is is exactly the sort of thing Roy addresses in his office hours sessions for subscribers to Person-Centered Tech Support. Roy’s office hours are designed to provide a forum where he can directly address specific questions in detail. For each office hour’s session, you can submit all your questions and then either join the session via live webinar or watch the recording on demand like a podcast. You can learn more and subscribe here: https://dev-personcenteredtech.com/person-centered-tech-support/. If you have any questions about PCTech Support, please email me at [email protected].
Did I understand him to say that for billing an online session all you have to do is add “GT” to the CPT code? as in 90834GT?
He said to add “GT” to the code, yes. But I believe there is more detail in the Q&A log, which I just posted above.
Hello,
I’ve had a successful private practice for over 30 years. I’m interested in semi-retirement in order to supplement my private practice.
However I’m quite overwhelmed with all the information I must learn!
Have I missed the seminar?
Thank you,
Maggie Vlazny
