227. The Realities of Being a Digital Nomad Therapist with Sonia Jaeger

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.Connect with Sonia Jaeger:Website: https://www.sonia-jaeger.com | https://locationindependenttherapists.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsoniajaeger/Get 25% off the first payment of LIT Community membership (monthly or annual plan) using the code THETRAVELINGTHERAPISTAre you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?
