This paper addresses the need for a swift transition from in‐person clinical supervision to telesupervision during the time of the COVID‐19 global pandemic. Five specific areas will be discussed in the effort to enhance the quality of clinical supervision provided to couple and family therapists in training at this time including the following: (1) COVID‐19 and the structural changes and technological adaptation of supervision; (2) culturally and contextually sensitive guidelines for clinical supervision during COVID‐19; (3) the supervisee’s competence and the clinical supervisory process; (4) the new set of boundaries and the supervisory role; (5) and the supervisory alliance and supervisees’ vulnerabilities in the face of COVID‐19.
This article aimed to address the following question: In what specific ways, can couple therapists improve their work with immigrant couples via telebehavioral health (TBH)? This article offers perspectives from experience working with immigrant couples via telehealth, which include key barriers to using in-person therapy for immigrant couples, the effectiveness of TBH for immigrant couples, and consideration for couple therapists as they venture into TBH with immigrant couples. With a focus on the expansion of services, one way to improve health equity for immigrant couples and bridge the gap between the traditional health care system and couples in undeserved communities is by developing TBH systems, which may lead to increase access to care for clients as well as expand provider options and resources.
