    If there are therapists for online sessions there are therapists for real sessions. Classic allocation problem.

      Incredibly wrong answer. Rural areas have always had issues with counseling and lack of clinicians. To make it worse, rural areas have crap internet access. Personal experience with both.

        In my state I have done traveling therapy where I’ve traveled 200+ miles per day for months. This was in mostly rural areas. It’s ineffective and inefficient.
