See only clients online who live within your state. If you see clients who do not live in your state, think carefully about how you would defend your actions in a court of law or before the licensing board. Call the work you do online coaching or e-therapy may help, but it may not be sufficient or necessary protection in and of itself. What you do must match what you call what you're doing. Some people mistakenly believe that if a licensing board or legislature passes a law, that is all that is said to be on that issue.
Nothing is further from the truth.
The courts are where issues in this area will be resolved. A few things to note, here, however. Most complaints which a board hears are brought to them by disgruntled clients or occasionally, a colleague. This is to an e-therapist's benefit, in that if you act in an ethical manner and work toward ensuring the services you do provide online meet, as much as possible, the intent of the law, you will be better off than someone flouting the law or looking to defraud consumers. Even when complaints are brought up, one only needs to look at the statistics to see how few doctors are dis-barred or how many experienced therapists lose their licensure when brought before the board.
