ADCA Association Information
American Distance Counseling Association
Founded for state board licensed mental health and medical practitioners
who use tele-health delivery of online medical and mental health services via
the internet, in conjunction with their professional office based practice.
Credential check and verification available for certification as a clinical
member of ACDA, to validate your posted professional background. Distance
counseling includes mediums of email, secure chat and telephone delivery of
professional services.
History
Distance Counseling through email, chat and telephone have been offered and
approved for use by many US entities, on an ever increasing level since 1995.
A need for a national association to formally recognize those professionals who
use the internet for increased delivery of services was needed. Distance
Counselors reach remote underserved geographical areas, those patients and
clients who have travel limitations, and those who want increased privacy and
choices. Distance Counselors provide continuity to those clients who
travel and change locations and who wish to maintain a therapeutic relationship
with a known and familiar counselor of their choice.
Association Goals
American Distance Counseling Association maintains standards of practice, and
actively recruits professional who wish to be networked with others conducting
distance counseling. The Association strives to maintain a data base of
qualified distant practitioners in both medicine and mental health to create
public awareness of their services. The ADCA will eventually serve as an
organization for standardization and credentialing in recognition of the
services offered by Distant Counselors who maintain high standards of care.
Organizational Structure
A Board of Directors
serves as the advisory council for the
activities of American Distance Counseling Association. Selections and
invitations will be open to those experts who have been instrumental in the
development of distance counseling delivery, and who have maintained a high
level of competence and sensitivity to distant counseling issues.
