Informed Consent & Authorization for Traditional and Virtual Counseling is a legal document that outlines the rights of a client before, during, and after counseling services. This document is used to ensure that clients are aware of their rights and the boundaries of the counseling relationship. It also protects the interests of both the client and the counselor. There are two types of Informed Consent & Authorization for Traditional and Virtual Counseling: traditional counseling and virtual counseling. Traditional counseling is face-to-face counseling, while virtual counseling is counseling conducted through video conferencing, telephone calls, or other digital means. Informed Consent & Authorization for Traditional and Virtual Counseling typically includes information about the counselor's qualifications, the purpose and goals of the counseling, the expected duration of the counseling, the services to be provided, the fees and payment policies, confidentiality of the counseling session, and the client's right to withdraw from the counseling. It also includes a signature line for both the client and the counselor to acknowledge their understanding and agreement to the document.
