Overview
Lessons in Teletherapy is for clinicians exploring virtual therapy with clients, providing composite case studies and a treatment framework. Louis Propp, seasoned clinical psychologist specializing in child, adolescent, and family therapy, draws from his experience rapidly transitioning to telehealth during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. These stories mirror the real patient and provider challenges and progression, in monthly segments, addressing such issues as family domestic violence, behavioral issues, neurodivergence, substance abuse, social discrimination, grief, and psychopathology. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy-based treatment intervention—developed from ideas common to both in-person and virtual therapy—Dr. Propp demonstrates and explains how this framework may be applied to each client’s unique situation.

Reviews
This book has a combined focus of a psychologists' personal reflections throughout the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and how a clinician can adapt in person interventions to virtual interventions with clients, particularly when working with children. This would be appropriate additional reading for a Masters or Doctoral level class that was inclusive of teletherapy in the curriculum. --Adrianne Trogden, University of the Cumberlands This text is an excellent guide to students and seasoned professionals on the emotional challenges of having practice during the pandemic as well as practical tools to weather through it all. --Tina Marie Glover, University of the Cumberlands An experienced psychotherapist's reflections on the changes to his therapy practice, and to his personal life, wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the use of engaging case examples, the author is able to clearly communicate the process involved in adapting traditional therapy techniques into a telehealth model. The author's discussion of the personal impact of the pandemic on his own life and work adds another important dimension. Authentic, accessible, and timely. It's excellent. --Helene Presskreischer, PsyD

Author Information
Louis Propp, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice for over 36 years. He conducts weekly online supervision for home-based workers and maintains a small teletherapy practice in Maine. He has also consulted for almost 35 years for a family resource center in Vermont. He has previously taught different graduate-level psychology courses in child psychology at Antioch University New England. He is a member of the Maine, Vermont, and American Psychological Associations, as well as the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards. His first position was in upstate New York, doing play therapy in a school for emotionally disturbed children. In 1984, he became director of a satellite community mental health clinic in Vermont. After three years, he left the clinic and joined a small private practice group. In the 1990s, he helped transition the group into a large, multi-specialty practice to deal with the restrictions of managed care. In 2010, with his wife, Kristin, he formed a private practice focused on children, adolescents, and families. They relocated the practice to the state of Maine in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Propp continues to see patients remotely in Vermont and Maine.
