Exploring in-Person, Teletherapy, and Therapeutic Alliance Among Pre-Licensed Therapists

This study examines whether therapists-in-training perceive the real relationship and therapeutic presence differently across in-person and teletherapy sessions, and whether positive teletherapy attitudes moderate these differences. Data collection is underway. Preliminary feedback will help refine analytic strategies and translation of findings to training programs to better support teletherapy skill development.
