Episode Details

Being a digital nomad therapist looks like freedom from the outside: laptop open somewhere new, sessions running from a different country every few months. But the reality involves a lot more paperwork than postcards.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Sonia Jaeger, who has been running her practice from all over the world for over a decade. We get into what it actually takes to work internationally as a therapist, from navigating shifting regulations across Germany and France to building the kind of support system that keeps you from doing it all alone.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• How online therapy regulations in Germany have changed since Sonia started in 2014.
• The legal difference between working as a counselor and a licensed psychotherapist abroad.
• Her routine for settling into a new location before taking on client work.
• How she manages client sessions across time zones while keeping a small caseload.
• What led her to co-found the LIT community for location-independent therapists.
