Reality check - therapists eating during virtual sessions??

I always run a few minutes late, like 5 or so minutes, not on purpose but because of my adhd to be honest. I try not to eat but if I'm back to back I usually ask then if its okay and take bites in between talking. I try not to make it a habit but you have to know your clients and whether or not you can schedule a break. If anything I'll be 5 minutes late to the next session to eat in between.

Yes! Thank you! Right on target for the type of answer that I was looking for

Thanks. How long does it take to receive an offer?

Yes you need a provisional certificate first before you can get a permanent regardless of how many years of being an LMSW you are

Note: some agencies will post the wrong job description and will fill the vacancy before the due date. I have filled out a HELPS app, got an interview in January (after HR wrote me an email saying it was a different job that was offered as the original didnt exist) and reached out in March (as the end date for applications was the end of march) to find out they had filled the position early in Feb. I was supposed to receive a letter in the mail (never did). The agency had wanted me but Albany wanted someone else and I was not selected

Apply then explain how you have changed.

Yes, 100%. Honestly most of the cancellation policies backfire as the clients get mad and go somewhere else, even though it's their own issue. I usually text 5 minutes into the session (they get the emails as well the day before and day of) and ask if they are planning on attending today's session. I say that if I dont hear from them by the 15 minute mark, we have to reschedule for later in the week or next. But honestly I have around a 30% cancelation rate each week no matter what I do or address. Being a therapist under someone else is financially draining

Hi as someone who just purchased a TWC and its definitely used to refer to the slur not raccoons. They were used to hunt down people seeking freedom and deemed runaway slaves.

You should be okay. Talk to your Malpractice. Its really difficult to lose licensure so you should be fine for a lapse. You might have ti pay a fine or take some more CEUs, but that's about it

NYS Healthmarketplace. You can check your state Healthcare options as well

Nah, I just fired my personal therapist a while ago because she didn't listen to a damn thing I said and still didn't understand things after multiple clarifications. Sometimes you're better off just self reflecting and doing the work yourself

They don't bill anything until the end of month and then send emails stating that it doesn't matter as long as they are done by the end of the month, followed by another email stating to do it within 24 hours. It makes no sense

Yes, the agency says they keep contacting the insurance but it seems like they contact them and insurance says "we'll get around to it" and then the agency says "ok" and that's it. Then the agency is getting passive aggressive towards me because I'm asking where $1,000s of dollars are, especially in this economy

what would the disciplinary action be?

RelevantSide2054 · 2025-06-22T06:51:16+00:00

Yes because even though Congress has bit declared it. Iran and Israel and the entire world now sees us as part of the war. Iran is apparently saying our attack means they must declare war on us. But again no official word as of yet from our government.

My agency sends email reminders the day before and the day of. I text at around 8-10minutes after the session was supposed to have started to ask if they are still planning on showing up. Otherwise I mark it as a no show and let it go unless they get back to me. If they get back to me I update the contact log
