Teletherapy: A New Frontier

https://positivepsychology.com/

During the first surges of the COVID-19 virus in the United States in March, social distancing measures became mandates for many Tennesseans. Many medical professionals and insurance companies began making telehealth options more available to patients. That included mental health specialists who were looking for and using telehealth options to work with their patients. WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper spoke with three mental health clinicians who are now using teletherapy in their practices.

 

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
